Using Android 11's Native Screen Recorder

For devices running Android 11 or later:

  1. Swipe down twice from the top of your screen to open the Quick Settings menu.
  2. Swipe right to left until you find the "Screen Record" button.

Using Third-Party Apps

For devices with higher-resolution displays or more advanced features:

  1. Install a third-party screen recording app, such as AZ Screen Recorder or XRecorder, from the Google Play Store.
  2. Follow the app's instructions to record gameplay, which may include enabling necessary permissions and configuring settings.
  3. Start the game you want to record and launch the screen recorder app.
  4. Adjust the recording settings as needed, such as video quality, frame rate, and audio sources.
  5. Start recording and end it when you're done.
  6. Export the video to your desired app or social media from within the screen recorder app.

Remember to check the app's features and limitations, such as recording time limits, watermarks, or available resolutions, before choosing the one that best fits your needs.
