How to record a screen on any Samsung smartphone?

Even if you have a Samsung phone, there is no reason to be envious because every Android phone comes equipped with a screen recorder.

You can use it to record video from nearly any app — though some apps, such as Netflix, will simply display a black screen — and then share or edit the videos later on your computer.

Method 1: Here’s how to record the screen on any Samsung smartphone.

1- The first step is to devise a strategy.

First and foremost, we’ll double-check that the screen recording icon is present in our Samsung Galaxy S8’s quick access panel, which it is. If we already have it, we can skip pointing 5.

Then we unlock our Galaxy S8 and slide our finger down a few centimeters from the top edge of the screen to access the quick panel.

We can access quick settings in this panel, such as connecting to a Wi-Fi network or Bluetooth, turning on mute or airplane mode, and more.

Slide the panel down with one finger again to reveal the entire panel, and look for the screen recording icon shown below:

2- Second step:

If we don’t see the screen recording icon on our Samsung Galaxy S8, we should click on the quick panel’s edit icon, which is usually three points vertically above the screen recording icon.

3- Third Step:

A floating menu will appear; select “Button order” to change the order of the buttons on your Samsung Galaxy S8’s quick panel.

4- Fourth step:

The icons for the settings that we have already defined in the Samsung Galaxy S8 quick panel, as well as the icons for the settings that we can define in the future, are all displayed in the Samsung Galaxy S8 quick panel, along with their respective descriptions.

We look for the screen recording icon, click on it, and drag it to the bottom of the quick panel without dropping it to include it in the panel.

The screen recording icon may not appear on your Galaxy S8 device because the manufacturer has disabled it or because it is not available on the Samsung Galaxy S8, in which case we proceed to the section titled “If we do not have the option to record screen natively.”

5-Fifth step:

Using the screen recording icon on the Samsung Galaxy S8 quick panel, we have two options for starting the recording: either simultaneously pressing the volume up or down buttons on the phone, or pressing the volume up or down button on the phone.  

And power buttons on the Galaxy S8 or a simpler and less likely to fail option, which is to quickly unfold the panel by sliding a finger from the top of the screen and pressing the screen recording icon that we have created.

6- Sixth Step:

Choose the video quality for the HD or mini video in the sixth step.

This means that the microphone sound from your Samsung Galaxy S8 will be recorded by default (this is useful for example to explain the operation of an app to an acquaintance or to record a message while recording the video on the screen of Samsung Galaxy S8)

As a result, if you don’t want any external sounds in the video, record it in a quiet environment before editing it.

7- Seventh Step:

The seventh step will be the display of a 3-second countdown on the Samsung Galaxy S8 screen, followed by the start of a video recording of everything that happens on the screen.

8- The eighth step:

To stop recording by simultaneously pressing the volume up and power buttons on your Samsung Galaxy S8, or by clicking on the “Stop” button at the top left of the screen.

If the screen recording icon is not available and simultaneously pressing the volume up and power buttons on the Samsung Galaxy S8 do not start the video recording, we will need to download an app from the app store.
