<p>If you want to capture a video of your iPhone 11’s screen, use the built-in feature of iOS to capture a screen recording. It is like taking a screenshot, but a video. Screen recording seems to be there on several iPhones.</p>

<p>Very handy for teaching people how to do stuff on iPhones ideal for kids, the elderly and technophobes.</p>

<h4><strong>What's Screen Recording?</strong></h4>

<p>A screen recording is a video of everything you see on your device’s screen, including any actions you take, apps you run, notifications, or otherwise. No cameras are involved. Instead, a screen recording directly takes the data from the screen and turns it into a video file. S screenshot in motion is the best way to describe it.</p>

<p>After capturing the screen recording, you can store it for future use or share it like any other video on your iPhone. Screen recordings are good for; <br />
Capturing certain games <br />
Recording errors for troubleshooting, <br />
Making instructional videos. </p>

<p>Screen recording won’t work while mirroring your iPhone.</p>

<p>First, Enable the “Screen Recording” Button</p>

<p>To capture a screen recording on your iPhone, you first need to turn on a special “Screen Recording” button in Control Center. (Control Center is the set of quick shortcuts you can access by swiping down from the upper-right corner of your screen.)</p>

<p><br />
In Control Center, find the Screen Recording button, which looks like a circle within another circle. To record quickly without audio, tap it once. To record with audio, press and hold it.</p>

<p>Tap the "Screen Recording" button in Control Center.</p>

<p>After holding the Screen Recording button for a moment, another screen will pop up. To record with audio, tap the microphone button until it turns red and reads “Microphone On.” Next, select “Start Recording.”</p>

<p>Tap the microphone button, then select "Start Recording."<br />

<p>The screen record function starts a three-second countdown, and when the countdown is complete, the screen record button in Control Center (and the clock in the upper-left corner) will turn red. Your iPhone starts recording everything on the screen as a video. If you enabled the microphone, your iPhone captures audio, so you can narrate what you’re doing.</p>

<p>To stop taking a screen recording, you have two options. Use the Control Center: Open Control Center and tap the Screen Recording button again.</p>

<p>Tap the "Screen Recording" button in Control Center. The screen recording will stop instantly.</p>

<p>The second option is to tap the red clock in the upper-left corner of your screen and select “Stop” in the pop-up dialogue box.</p>

<p>Tap the red time in the upper-left corner, then select "Stop." </p>

<p>Either way, you will see a confirmation that it saved the screen recording video to the Photos library.</p>

<p>To view your screen recording, open the Photos app and tap the recording’s thumbnail, and it will play just like any other video stored on your iPhone. If you’d like, you can use the Photo app’s edit features to trim the video to the desired length. Have fun!</p>
