Tap on the Screen Recording button, which will prompt a countdown inside the button followed by it turning red to indicate to begin capturing whatever's on your display.

You'll need to have iOS 11 or a later update installed on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, but that's the only requirement.īefore you can begin using the screen recorder tool, you'll first need to add the feature's button to the Control Center.

You can either use your Mac's internal mic or attach an external studio microphone, which is particularly useful if you want to record voiceovers with your screen recordings.
QuickTime also allows you to record external audio. And that distracting red dot that appears on the top-left corner of your iPhone's screen when you start recording?

However, MP4 files are more widely used and smaller in size. The former isn't as compressed as the latter. Videos recorded with QuickTime are saved as MOV files, while the iPhone saves screen-recorded videos as MP4 files.
