How to enable screen recording with the screen turned off?

Enabling screen recording with the screen turned off is not possible on most devices and operating systems. Screen recording typically requires an active display to capture the visual content. However, I can provide you with information on how to enable screen recording on different platforms when the screen is on.

#1 On iPhone

Method 1: Use trick

On the iPhone, you can record video even with the screen turned off. That’s quite handy in case you need to make a secret recording.

1. On the locked screen, activate the camera, raise the shutter halfway up.
2. Activate video recording while holding the curtain down.
3. Double-click the Home button three times. Hold the shutter until the screen goes blank. That’s it, you are recording.

Method 2: Use AssistiveTouch

AssistiveTouch is a feature on iPhone that allows you to control your phone using gestures. You can use AssistiveTouch to enable screen recording with the screen turned off. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch and turn on AssistiveTouch.
2. An AssistiveTouch icon will appear on your screen. Tap on it and select New Shortcut.
3. In the Name field, type Screen Recording. In the Action field, select Record Screen.
4. Tap on Add.
5. Now, when you want to record your screen, tap on the AssistiveTouch icon and select Screen Recording.
6. To stop recording, tap on the Stop button in the AssistiveTouch menu.

The recorded videos will be saved in your phone’s Photos app.
