Apple used to make it very difficult to record the screen on iOS devices. This process got a bit easier with OS X Yosemite and iOS 8 and the introduction of recording on your computer through QuickTime Player. Before that, this task wasn’t possible without turning to AirPlay recording software like X-Mirage or Reflector on your computer, which was not ideal.

In the soon to be released iOS 11, you can record the screen without having to rely on AirPlay to a computer or on QuickTime Player recording and a wired connection.

Learn how to use this new feature to capture your iOS screen on an iPhone or iPad. Two possible ways this feature could be useful is for developers who need to document software bugs, or for someone who wants to provide another user with a walk-through of how to do something on their iOS device.

How to enable the screen recording feature in iOS 11

You can access this new feature within the Control Center panel by swiping up from the bottom of the screen on iOS devices. If you try to swipe up, you’ll be disappointed because the screen recording feature isn’t there–it needs to be enabled first by performing the following steps.

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Navigate to Control Center | Customize Controls.
3. Tap the + button beside the Screen Recording option to add it to the Include section of the list and re-order the Screen Recording button to change its ordering in Control Center (Figure A).

Now that this feature is included in the Control Center, swiping up from the bottom of your iOS device screen will present you with a new record button; this is how you will enable and change the settings for recording. Let’s take a look at how to start a recording.

Tip: This screen recording functionality will record everything that is on your device’s screen, including notifications; you may want to enable Airplane mode before starting the recording to minimize these distractions.

How to record the screen of an iPhone or iPad

To start a recording, open Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of your iOS device–you’ll notice the recording button that was enabled in the previous steps. To start a new recording, tap the recording button. When you navigate away from the Control Center, you’ll notice a blue recording bar at the top of the screen, and it will be visible for the duration of the screen recording process.

The screen recording doesn’t include system sounds in the recording, but you can include recorded audio from the device’s microphone. To enable this, tap and hold on the record button and enable the Microphone Audio option when it’s shown at the bottom of the screen (Figure B).

When you wish to end the recording, tapping on the blue bar will present a dialog asking if you’d like to stop the recording (Figure C); you can also stop the recording by re-entering Control Center and tapping the record button again.

When you tap Stop Recording, the video that was recorded can be found inside of the Photos app under the Videos album.

You can edit the clip as you normally would with any other video in the Photos app; and, because the recording will show you starting and stopping the recording, you’ll want to trim the first few seconds and the last few seconds of the video.

Imagine you need to show someone how to log in to an online account or how to use a feature in a product. You could write out an email. Or you could capture your screen and take a few screenshots.

But best of all might be recording your screen.

Screen recording, also known as a screencast, is perfect for creating: 

• Tutorials
• Product demos
• How-to videos
• And other instructional videos.

You can even record games or record presentations, or make a YouTube video.

Choose your screen recorder

The first thing you’ll need to do is choose the screen recording software you’ll use. A

Snagit is great for simple, short desktop recordings, while something like Camtasia might be better for longer, more complex jobs.

However, recordings made with Snagit can be easily shared with Camtasia and assembled into longer, more complex videos there.

Today, I’ll show you how to record your screen with Snagit for simple recordings, and Camtasia for more polished videos.

How to record your desktop screen (Use Snagit for short, quick recordings)

Short, simple recordings that won’t require much editing can be done with something like Snagit (which is what I use most of the time).

Snagit is great for screenshots and quick and easy screen recordings. It’s perfect for when you want videos that look great, but don’t take hours of editing time.

Here’s how to do it.

Step 1: Choose what you want to record

Step 2: Record your audio or webcam

Step 3: Trim your video

Step 4: Save or share

When you have your video ready to share, use the Share menu to save the video or send it to the web.

How to record your computer screen (Use Camtasia for polished, professional-quality screen recordings)

Longer or more complex recordings may need more editing. Something like Camtasia will give you a full built-in video editing suite of tools you can use.

Camtasia even allows you to enhance the video by zooming in on areas of emphasis, highlighting your mouse clicks, adding text or graphic call-outs, and more.

Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Choose your recording options

Step 2: Choose the region you want to record

Step 3: Record your desktop with audio (if you want to)

Step 4: Edit your video

Step 5: Produce and share

How to record your screen with sound

To record your voice, select the microphone. And if you want to record the sounds that come from your computer, like the beeps and boops you hear, select the system audio option.

When you record your screen you can include typing the address into your browser and show all your mouse movements and clicks to let people see exactly where to go and how to get there.

You can include video and audio when you record your screen too. Use microphone audio to narrate your video from your computer’s built-in microphone or an external mic.

You can also record your system audio (that’s the sound that comes out of your speakers).

Are there keyboard shortcuts?

Yep! Here are a few of the top shortcuts for Snagit and Camtasia:

Snagit Hotkeys

• Windows: Shift+F9
• Mac: Control+Shift+Spacebar

Pause/Resume Recording

• Windows: Shift+F9
• Mac: Control+Shift+Spacebar

• Mac: Command+Shift+2

Should I use a free screen recorder?

Maybe. You can use free apps like QuickTime (on Mac) or Xbox App (Windows), but, if you’re comparing different screen recording tools, make sure you get a screen recorder with sound recording and video editing options built-in.

The problem with many built-in screen recorders that come standard on your computer is that they limit you to just recording. And you end up needing extra tools and software just to edit and share your videos.

Quick tips!

• Camtasia’s advanced (but super-easy-to-use) video editing capabilities allow you to add audio tracks after you record your screen. Whether you want to record your narration after the fact or want to add some music, you can do it!
• Be prepared to record your screen a time or two to get what you want. Almost everyone messes something up along the way. But recording your screen is so easy, it won’t matter if you have to do it again.
• Don’t get too hung up on making everything perfect. If you’re demonstrating a process, make sure the steps are clear and easy to follow. If you’re narrating, you can decide how many “umms” and “uhs” you can live with. It also depends on your audience.
• Recordings meant for people outside your company probably need to be more polished than things you’re sending to one of your fellow employees.
• We also have a full list of screen recording tips that you can use to get the best recordings possible.
