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 🙂

When using the previous iOS, I was able to use the screen recording option without having to hold down the icon. Now that I’ve updated iOS 11.3 I am unable to get the audio whether I hold down the icon or not. I’ve tried restarting my phone numerous times however not changes.


When I press the icon it counts “3,2,1” and then audio cuts off but continues to record everything on the screen (no audio). When I hold down the icon I get 3 options “Camera roll, Zoom and Micro ON/ OFF” but when I choose the option for micro ON it’s recording my background (live recording but not what’s playing on the screen).

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?
