No sound on iPhone screen recording

Hi,


Does the Screen Recording in iOS 11 have the ability to recording using the iPad's built in microphone?

Strangely I have noticed that for me, both audio and video recording works only first time after I restart my iphone.

But when I try to record the same video again or a different video, I could not hear any audio.

It has nothing to do with the length of video as I tried recording several times with smaller videos but no audio got recorded.

I even tried with both options 'Microphone Audio' On and Off but it did not help.

However the voice over works all the time but if I play any video which has an audio then it does not capture any audio (embedded audio from video or voice over) for the duration while video is playing.

The trick is to again restart your phone and it will work on for the very first video you try to record.

It could be a bug.

I'm having the exact same issue! I updated to the lastest IOS update and thought it would fix it but it hasn't. I'e asked people around me and they said the issue got fixed for them in the latest update. That's what I'm confused on. Also, does restarting the phone help when you record external audio as well as? I tried that and the mic only picks up my voice. Any feedback would help, thank you!

It's so weird when I started recording with my voice as well...

I went to gallery could hear everything what I said while recording my screen..

but when I sent it to my friends like via whatapp or messenger, my friends couldn't hear anything what I said.


Apple did this on purpose right? I think ur friends will hear when u send via iMessage not others apps.


what u think?

Yes. But it doesn’t work. If you play the video in photos, you will hear the sound from the mic. If you try to edit in iMovie, the sound gets stripped. One work around is to export your movie to a 2nd app, render/save it, then import it back into iMovie. Then you have sound again. Apple needs to fix this. I just updated my ipad to the latest iOS tonight and it still wasn’t fixed. I’m actually using this to help kids make corrections on their math quizzes and tests. So, come on Apple help a teacher out.
