Audio disappears from iOS 11 Screen Recordings when the video is uploaded

So, my most anticipated feature of iOS is finally here... Screen Recording, native, right in iOS.


Only one problem! As soon as you upload the screen recording to YouTube, Facebook, Instagram or even insert it into iMovie the audio disappears. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Have you found a fix?

I’ve got a solution, but it costs $5.99. I want to do everything on my phone and with iMovie. To get the audio from a screencap into the right track so that iMovie can play it, download iConv.

Open the screencap in iConv. Tap it and choose convert. Hit Advanced and choose Audio Track 2. This creates a new mov with the audio from Track 2 either on Track 1 or both tracks. Either way, iMovie will pay the audio from this new file.


You go to Converted Files file and hit Send to iMovie and the new file opens up and the audio plays.


iConv is free, but you can only do one operation per hour. Pay the $5.99 and you can convert and send to all you want.
