How to Record the Screen on Sony Xperia XZ1

Smartphone users sometimes need to provide some help to another user if they cannot find a particular function. To do this, you need to record the screen on Sony Xperia XZ1. This function allows you to record everything that happens on the display, saving the process as a video. This can be performed in one of two ways.

Built-in Tools

You can enable screen recording on the Sony Xperia XZ1 phone without third-party apps, since the developers have provided a special function. It can be accessed through the notification drawer. Users simply need to tap on the icon with the image of a video camera.

The recording process will start right after the function is accessed. If this did not happen, then you will need to press one more button denoting "Rec", which will appear on the display. To stop the recording, you need to click on the red icon again, but now it will be presented as a square, not a circle.

Also, the Sony Xperia XZ1 smartphone allows you to fine-tune the function. All the necessary settings are located in the device settings in the "Screen Recorder" menu. It is also possible to change the frame rate, resolution and input method, meaning sound from the mic or the system itself.

Special Apps

If the built-in recorder does not work and you need to record what is happening on the screen here and now, it is recommended to use third-party software.

AZ Screen Recorder

A simple application that can be installed on the Sony Xperia XZ1 phone. AZ Screen Recorder not only records what is happening on the screen, but also allows you to take screenshots. Interaction with the program can be performed as follows:

Install AZ Screen Recorder through the official Android app store.
Run the application.
After launching, you will not see the usual Android application interface, but a functional window will appear in the notification curtain.
To start video recording, just click on the "Record" button.
Also, the notification drawer allows you to pause or completely stop the video.

At the end of the recording, the user will see a pop-up window that will allow them to share the video or edit it in advance. To close the application, you need to unload AZ Screen Recorder from RAM.

DU Recorder

Another worthy app that has received a lot of positive reviews. To record your screen, you need:

Install DU Recorder via Play Market.
Run the application.
Allow it to run on top of other windows.
Press the record button, which will be displayed on the screen, or do the same through the notification drawer.
To complete the process, click on the "Stop" button or pause the recording to continue it later.

The video is automatically saved and ready for editing and uploading. All these operations are performed through a pop-up window that appears after the end of the recording.
