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?

Yes the there is a toggle you can press to allow microphone audio
Heres how to turn it on

1. Go into the control centre
2. Find the screen record icon

3. Long hold on the icon
4. Press 'Microphone Audio' in the popup

The grey icon should turn red to signify that you've turned on the microphone


Hope this helps 🙂

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.

Everyone from Apple, Camtasia and anyone in between insists the screen recorder records with audio. After updating to 11.4.1 I lost the audio on my screen cast as well.

Made a video showing screen recording, with sound, before the IOS update and a video recording, without sound, after the IOS 11.4.1 update. I think at this ppint the only fix is to roll back the update which to my knowledge is not something that can be done?

DON'T UPDATE YOUR IOS IF YOU WANT AUDIO WITH SCREEN CAPTURE - YouTube

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?
