Onscreen button for screen recording

A while ago Apple Support showed me how to put a button onscreen to take a screen shot on my iPad. Is there a way to put a button onscreen to start/sopt a screen recording? Can't find anything in Settings about it.

iPad Air 3, iPadOS 14

Perhaps the best way is to use the Control Centre. If not already added, you can simply add the Screen Recording button to the visible Control Control Centre buttons.


This section of the iPad User Guide for iPadOS details the available configuration options for the Control Centre:
