How to record a screen recording on an iPad or iPhone

This requires iOS 11 or later.

Before Playtesting

Step one: add screen recording controls.

This can be found in the Control Center section of the Settings app. Click the green + icon to add Screen Recording.

If there is no option for Screen Recording, you may have already added this to your Control Center — check the list at the top.

Step 2: Open the Control Center

Swipe down from the upper-right corner to open the Control Center. On a phone, this may bring up the Notification Center; just swipe down a second time from the Notification Center to get to the Control Center.

Find the recording icon, and long-press it to get more options.
