Hello,
When a USB microphone is plugged into an iPad then all applications that record audio will default to the external microphone. I use this all the time and it works great! Please verify that your have microphone enabled before a Screen Recording. Long press on the Screen Recording icon in Control Center to enabled microphone.
Great. Thanks for your help!
You are very welcome!
