With One UI, Samsung took some really big (and really good) steps towards making its Android skin much better than it historically has been, and while One UI brings a bunch of awesome features, there is one particular thing that bugs me, and that’s the fact that you can’t record your phone’s screen as effortlessly as you might expect.
So, when you launch a game on your One UI powered smartphone, the navigation bar has a neat little Game Tools icon tucked in which, among other things, lets you record your gameplay along with internal sounds, and that’s pretty cool. However, there’s no way to use this screen recorder in any other app, or as a standalone app, and that pretty much sucks. Fortunately, there’s a way. Kind of.
If you’re fretting about not being able to use the built-in screen recorder in places other than games, worry not. I have a solution of sorts. Here’s how you can use the screen recorder in other apps as well:
Tap on ‘Add Apps‘, and add the apps you wish to screen record. I’m adding the Beebom app (Free).
In the overlay that pops up, tap on the Settings icon, and then tap on ‘Record.’
