Welcome, and following me is a Lenovo Tab M11
0:04
and today I'll show you how you can record a screen on this device. So to get started, you want to pull down your toggles by swiping down from the top of your
0:14
screen, like so, and this will reveal a bunch of different toggles. Here we're looking for a screen
0:19
recording. As you can see, you can swipe down and this will actually show you the names for it
0:24
and we're looking for this toggle right over here, labeled, obviously, Screen Recorder
0:29
Simply tap on it. It will give you this overlay right over here with Settings option, Record
0:35
and Close. Now, this won't be visible on a screen recording, so you don't have to worry about it
0:41
getting in the way of something that might be visible behind it. Anyway, we're going to select
1:16
Now, once you click on the square right there to stop the recording, it will automatically save it
1:23
to your Photos application, so I'll open that up just so I can show you this. And here we can
1:28
navigate to Library and Screen Recorder, and here you'll find all the screen recordings that I have
1:36
captured over the time of using this device. Now, I was looking for a Netflix application
1:44
just so I could showcase some limitations because Android does have some kind of security feature
1:55
using this security very loosely right here because it's not really used for that purpose
1:59
for the most part. So if you ever encounter that whatever you're trying to record provided you with
2:04
a fully black screen, just know that whatever you wanted to record didn't allow you to do so
2:09
It's a security feature for Android that basically allows the device to block screen recorders or any
2:16
application that would want to view what's on the screen. If said content is sensitive, like your
2:22
bank application, stuff like that, then obviously that won't get anywhere past it. So if some kind
2:28
of malicious virus tries to see what kind of passwords you have, all it will see is just a
2:34
fully black screen and nothing to it. Now, the reason I'm pointing that out is because a lot of
2:39
other applications still use this, but they have zero effing business using it. So one of those
2:46
would be Netflix and there is no sensitive content for you and you have no control over that. There
2:50
is no settings that you can change to disable this kind of garbage. And obviously, Netflix isn't the
2:55
only application that will use it. There are some other apps that just flat out shouldn't be even
3:01
allowed to use this, in my opinion, but they can. And you just cannot capture either a screenshot
3:07
nor record a video. So anyway, with that being said, hopefully you found this video helpful
