Welcome. In front of me, I have the
0:03
Samsung Galaxy A27
0:06
and today I'll show you how can record
0:09
screen on this device.
0:18
So to get started, you will want to
0:20
swipe down from the top of your screen.
0:23
Now here, let me just check. Yep, it
0:25
doesn't matter. We'll need to do it from
0:26
the top right side which gives us the
0:28
toggles. And in this section, you want
0:30
to swipe down again, which will extend
0:33
the list of toggles and also show you
0:36
the labels for them and also hopefully
0:38
reveal the screen recorder toggle. If
0:41
you don't see it in this list, you can
0:42
actually add it by clicking on the
0:44
pencil. And due to some changes with the
0:47
one UI, uh we get to click on the edit
0:50
now.
0:51
All right. No, my the hell was it? All
0:55
right, it's not on the edit. Sorry. Like
0:57
I said, it changes. I'm still getting
0:59
confused by this. Going to click on this
1:01
one. Add a control.
1:03
And from here, you'll be able to find
1:05
your screen recorder. It's right here
1:07
for me. As you can see, it is grayed out
1:09
because uh it's already added.
1:12
Now, typically, when you add your uh
1:15
toggle, I just I'm going to use the
1:17
screenshot as an example. it will get
1:18
added to the bottom of the list instead
1:20
of where it's supposed to be, which is
1:22
right here. So, you can now grab it.
1:25
There we go. Grab it, drag it above, and
1:28
drop it here. So, you need to do extra
1:30
steps because apparently Samsung decided
1:34
uh that's usually not where you would
1:36
want your toggles to be. Anyway, let's
1:38
click on done. And you can see it's now
1:40
added to this list. So, uh from here,
1:43
first time around, hold the screen
1:45
recording toggle. This will quickly take
1:46
you to the settings where you will be
1:48
able to customize uh some of the
1:49
options. So, for instance, right here we
1:51
have video quality which is set to 1080p
1:53
which is the highest one and that that's
1:54
good. I recommend keeping it at that and
1:57
changing it to 1080p if it's not
1:59
already. Uh
2:02
audio to record.
2:04
We have media non media and mic. Uh, for
2:07
some reason, I guess Samsung considers
2:09
that uh there is no conceivable idea
2:11
that you might just want to record mic
2:14
without the audio. If you're that
2:16
person, I well, sorry, you can't really
2:20
do much. Uh, now, uh, I do want to
2:24
quickly just give a little bit of info
2:26
for this. If you're planning to record
2:28
media and mic, I would recommend using
2:31
some kind of headphones because what
2:33
might happen is the media sound that the
2:36
phone would play back is going to be
2:38
recorded by the screen recording
2:40
internally through software and then
2:43
that sound is going to get played
2:44
through the speakers at which point
2:46
microphone which is like speaker is
2:48
here, microphone is here might pick it
2:51
up the second time around creating an
2:52
unwanted echo effect on that recording.
2:55
So using headphones or maybe just
2:57
turning down the volume on on your phone
3:00
would solve that problem. Uh now
3:03
scrolling further down, we have uh
3:05
selfie video size. This circle right
3:07
here is going to be the actual size on
3:09
your screen if you choose to enable your
3:11
uh front-facing camera for that uh
3:14
screen recording which it will be a
3:16
visible toggle in overlay.
3:19
And uh we also have show tops and
3:21
touches which will record a
3:23
semi-transparent gray dot wherever your
3:25
finger was interacting with the display.
3:27
I'll turn that on just so you can see
3:28
how that looks like. And that's really
3:31
everything that there is. As you can
3:32
also see, there was no options for uh
3:35
things like frame rates and so on. So
3:37
this is technically all we have once you
3:40
set it all up. There's nothing to click
3:43
save on or anything like that. It's
3:44
automatically changed. So we can just
3:45
close this. Find the toggle once more
3:48
and tap on it this time around.
3:51
It will give you this popup. So area to
3:54
record. We have full screen or partial
3:56
screen. So you could just kind of like
3:57
crop where you want to record it. Uh and
4:00
you also have again the options for
4:02
recording sound which right now it's
4:04
media and also tops are enabled. So I'm
4:06
going to now start recording. So begins
4:08
at 3 second which come down with track
4:09
in skip and I can now do whatever I want
4:13
I want to record. And I have some
4:15
toggles here to utilize as well.
4:21
Here the self selfie. There we go.
4:26
Oh, and you can also
4:29
move this around.
4:36
Now you also have the option to pause,
4:40
resume,
4:42
and uh
4:44
because Samsung has so gracefully uh
4:48
done deals with Netflix, uh I'm going to
4:51
use this as a as an example because it
4:53
is going to be great one. But first,
4:55
let's start off with something that is
4:56
going to be a good example of screen
4:58
recorder.
5:02
What the hell do I want to use?
5:06
Whatever. Screw it. Facebook
5:09
update. Wow. Okay, that wasn't a great
5:11
option. Instagram. Nope. I need to
5:13
update it, too. Fantastic. Can I use
5:15
something without updating it?
5:16
Calculator. Look at that. I can use
5:18
calculator. So, anyway,
5:21
uh that's one option. And I also want to
5:23
put this up. By the way, this phone has
5:25
been just set up and this is the first
5:26
time it's being turned on like this
5:29
application. Anyway, let's just try that
5:31
again. We are connected to network. You
5:33
can see right here. And I am not signed
5:36
in to the Netflix account. I don't even
5:40
own a Netflix account, nor have I ever
5:42
actually owned one. Uh, the application
5:45
itself didn't bring up any kind of
5:46
pop-ups to allow anything like you
5:47
usually get. Some annoying Um,
5:50
so this is the first time it's being
5:52
opened. And
5:55
let's close this up.
5:58
And we can now stop the recording. Now,
6:00
I did deliberately open up this
6:02
application for a showcase of something
6:04
that I find uh unacceptable, but I'll
6:07
get to that in a second. Let's first
6:08
find our screen recording, which you can
6:10
do so by going into your gallery
6:12
application. And in here, you will be
6:14
able to find it in the photos tab, which
6:16
we're in, or you can navigate to albums.
6:19
And in albums, you'll find one called
6:21
screen recordings. So, click on it. And
6:24
there we go.
6:27
It also looks like the screen recording
6:29
is being recorded at 60 frames, which is
6:31
pretty nice. Now, um you can record for
6:36
the most part most applications. Now,
6:39
some will have the ability to uh when
6:42
they're being created to basically
6:43
disable uh I think it's called screen
6:45
pinning. It doesn't really matter what
6:47
it's called to be uh truthful. The
6:49
feature, what it does, that's what
6:51
matters. which what it does is prevents
6:53
you from being able to record your
6:55
screen when the application is open.
6:58
So, the reason I brought Netflix up in
7:00
here is because that's one of the
7:02
applications that does this. Now, the
7:03
application never asks for permission to
7:05
do so. And uh it's uh this feature is
7:08
designed to protect the privacy and and
7:10
security of the the user. Now, when you
7:13
open up Netflix, that will block your
7:16
ability to use your device the way you
7:17
want to. Do you feel nice, safe, and
7:19
secure inside? because I sure as
7:21
don't. Um, now just to give you a
7:24
example where this is actually being
7:26
used correctly, it's going to be with
7:27
bank applications. They also block this,
7:29
but they do it to actually protect you
7:31
like the feature is designed to do so.
7:33
And uh, as a hypothetical situation, you
7:36
have some kind of malware on your phone,
7:38
and that malware uses uh, screenshots or
7:40
screen recordings to try to see what
7:42
kind of pens and passwords you insert to
7:46
access your bank. Now you can imagine
7:48
how that would be very bad for the
7:49
security of your bank. So when it's
7:51
blocking it, that malware just straight
7:54
up cannot see anything just like we
7:55
cannot see now Netflix. That's basically
7:58
what uh the malware would be able to see
8:00
which is uh nothing.
8:04
Now if you thinking, well, okay, that's
8:07
all nice and dandy, but Netflix isn't
8:09
really protecting my privacy and
8:11
security, right? And you'd be right.
8:13
It's protecting its own privacy and
8:15
security on your behalf on your device
8:17
which you pay them subscription for
8:19
which I consider to be absolutely
8:20
unacceptable because you're being
8:22
treated as a pirate
8:26
by trying to record screen in their
8:28
application and they're automatically
8:30
like whoa whoa whoa you can't you no we
8:32
we're not allowing it to this I'm sorry
8:34
but you never even allow asked me
8:37
to be able to around with the
8:39
device and what it can do so for this
8:42
purpose I will showing you how we can
8:44
still record shows and movies because
8:47
you know what? You have the goddamn
8:48
legal right to do so. You have fair use
8:51
for a reason. And just because Netflix
8:54
doesn'ting like it tough Um so
8:58
we're going to open up our browser and
9:00
we're going to go to Google specifically
9:02
uh because well Google gives us results
9:05
from Reddit which is what we will need.
9:08
And you can search for anything along
9:10
the lines of free alternatives to
9:11
Netflix or any other streaming platform.
9:13
Or I'm going to use something else like
9:15
Pstream. So
9:17
stream ovs.
9:23
There we go. Now the reason I'm
9:25
searching for some arbitrary weird kind
9:27
of site like Preamov is because this is
9:30
a site that I used to show for this
9:31
purpose. Um but that site no longer
9:34
exists. So now what I'm doing is uh
9:36
showing you how to find these sites, any
9:39
of them or all of them instead of giving
9:42
you one because when the site gets taken
9:43
down, it's kind of useful useless to you
9:46
to for me to give you a link to
9:47
something that by the time you're
9:49
watching this might not even be
9:51
operational, but the knowledge will
9:53
always work. So uh you want to scroll
9:56
down till you see I just clicked on
9:58
something. Let's go back till you see
10:00
Reddit one. Now we have some ask Reddit
10:03
your favorite sites to stream movies uh
10:05
without downloading. Now that's not
10:07
really what I'm looking for.
10:20
Wow. Did uh
10:27
let's try adding Reddit.
10:30
Oh, there we go. Any reliable?
10:34
Now, you can see this is on a domain
10:36
r/piracy.
10:39
What do we got here?
10:43
Okay, this is just one site.
10:46
It's weird that the other one
10:48
evaporated. There was like a other one
10:49
that I was usually showing.
10:52
So, let's see what else we got. We got
10:54
some more.
10:56
Oh, site list.
11:03
Oh, would you look at that? There is a
11:06
heap of them here. So, yeah, you can
11:08
search for something along those lines
11:10
and hopefully through Reddit you'll
11:12
find. Now,
11:14
uh because the reason why this would
11:16
work, what I'm showing you here, uh in
11:19
the application like Netflix, you cannot
11:21
capture it because Netflix disables the
11:23
ability to do so without ever consulting
11:26
you about this. And uh Chrome on the
11:29
other side or or any kind of browser
11:32
does not block screenshots or screen
11:34
recordings. So the content that you
11:35
would be viewing through it which
11:37
anything that you you see right here
11:39
seen right here would be running through
11:41
the browser it cannot change what the
11:44
browser will be doing. And if browser
11:46
out of the box doesn't block it then
11:48
it's not going to block it no matter
11:49
what the content is.
11:51
So from there you can capture your
11:53
screenshot or screen recording of a show
11:55
or movie that you wanted to share with
11:56
your friends. Now I do want to talk
11:58
about quickly about the legality of this
11:59
in a way that as far as I understand
12:02
this and I'm in no way a lawyer. So if
12:05
you own a subscription to Netflix I
12:07
think uh from what I understand it's
12:09
fine to view content on these sites and
12:12
sharing it is as well to a certain
12:15
extent. If uh you record I don't know 30
12:19
seconds or less uh fair use does allow
12:22
you to to utilize this. I believe it's
12:23
30 seconds. Do check it just to be
12:26
certain. uh and you can share that
12:28
because that's what for your use is for.
12:30
Uh screenshots obviously don't really
12:32
have the same problem because it's just
12:33
a single image. Um so in this kind of
12:37
way you're good. Now, if you were to go
12:38
to one of these sites without an active
12:40
subscription and view content in there
12:43
and then also capture it, share it. But
12:45
even if we don't even look at share,
12:48
capturing and sharing, just viewing it
12:50
would actually be considered as piracy
12:51
without an active subscription because
12:54
piracy is not just sharing copyrighted
12:57
content. It's also viewing it. Now, if
13:00
you have an approach that if buying is
13:02
an owning, then piracy isn't stealing,
13:04
then that's fine. I'm not here to police
13:05
you about it. I'm just here to give you
13:07
some knowledge and also
13:10
let you know like what the
13:13
legality of this is as far as I'm aware
13:15
of it. So use this at your own risk. Um
13:18
so yeah, so that's about it. Now, if you
