Video screen recording. No record button?

I’m reading that to do a video recording of your screen I need to swipe down from the top right on my iPad and press the record button. It’s not there. How do I access it?

Thank You

iPad Pro

You may need to add the Screen Recording control to your Control Centre.


iPadOS 17.x and earlier


Settings > Control Centre > [More Controls] Screen Recording - tap the green "+" icon to add the control.


That's it, you're done.


More information:

Use and customize Control Center on iPadOS 17 - Apple Support



iPadOS 18


Controls are added from the Control Centre itself - the process being somewhat more complicated than earlier versions of iPadOS...


Swipe downwards from the top-right corner of the screen to expose the Control Centre - then tap the "+" icon:




Next, tap + Add a Control:




Next, select the Screen Recording button - then tap any clear area of the screen to finish adding the control to the Control Centre:
