Record the screen of your Samsung Galaxy S21

Recording the screen of the Samsung Galaxy S21 is very simple since the option is integrated directly into the system. To use it, you just have to follow these steps:

• Pull down the quick settings panel from the top.
• Tap on the option "Record screen"
• Grant the necessary permissions to the recording utility.
• Choose if you want to capture only the multimedia sound emitted by the phone, the multimedia sound, and the one captured by the microphone, or if you do not want sound in your screen recording.
• Tap on "Start recording" and wait for the countdown to finish.

In this way, you will have started to capture the screen of your mobile. While recording, you will see a toolbar that allows you to make some adjustments to the recording, as well as draw, show a small window that shows the display of the front camera of the device, or the options to pause and stop the recording. This bar can be easily hidden by tapping the right-pointing arrow that appears to the left of the bar.

It is worth mentioning that the screen recording tool also offers some settings such as the ability to modify the video quality or adjust the size of the video captured with the front camera when recording.

These settings are accessible through the quick settings panel, by long-pressing the "Record screen" icon.
