How to record screen on a Xiaomi cellphone

Recording the screen on an Android phone can now be done easily.

Because there are already quite a number of screen recorder applications circulating on the Google Play Store.

Some of them I have even written on Androbuntu.com in an article entitled 10 best screen recorder applications on Android .

If you are a Xiaomi smartphone user, you should be grateful. Because the Xiaomi cellphone is now equipped with a built-in screen recorder.

So there’s no need to download a screen recorder app anymore .

Xiaomi smartphones that are already equipped with a screen recorder application are those that are already using MIUI 9. While those who are still using MIUI 8, are not yet equipped with this feature.

This screen recorder feature is certainly very useful for some people, like YouTubers for example. With this feature, you can:

  • Make tutorials in the form of videos;
  • Record the game you are playing;
  • And much more

If you are interested in recording the screen on a Xiaomi cellphone, you can follow the Androbuntu.com tutorial below.

How to record screen on a Xiaomi cellphone without additional applications

Before following the tutorial below, make sure that your Xiaomi cellphone is using MIUI, because in this tutorial we will use the MIUI default screen recorder feature.

Is there a Xiaomi cellphone that doesn’t use MIUI ?

There are some HPs produced by Xiaomi that use Android One instead of MIUI , for example the Xiaomi Mi A1, Mi A2, and Mi A3.

If your Xiaomi cellphone uses Android One, then see tutorial number 2 below the article.

Okay, right away. If you’re sure you’re using MIUI, follow this tutorial:

  1. First, open the app named “Record Screen”. This application icon is orange with a video camera image in the middle. This is a default application in MIUI.
  2. In this application, touch the orange record button which is on the bottom right.
  3. Then you will enter the Xiaomi HP home screen . Complete with a record button at the bottom. To start recording the screen, touch the “Start”button at the bottom of the screen.
  4. After touching the “Start”button , now all your screen activity will start recording. Androbuntu friends can also see that the “Start”button will now turn into a record button complete with the duration. To stop recording, you can touch the button.
  5. After you have finished recording the screen, you can now see the recording in the “Record Screen”application . Touch the video thumbnail to play it.
  6. Done. Now you know how to record the screen on a Xiaomi cellphone without using additional applications.

Second Way: Using Apps

As I said at the beginning of the article that not all Xiaomi cellphones use MIUI, therefore the tutorial above cannot be done on all Xiaomi cellphones.

But don’t worry, there is another way that you can do to record the screen on your cellphone, namely by using a third-party application.

This method can also be done for those of you who use a Xiaomi cellphone with MIUI but are not satisfied with the default screen recording feature.

Following are the steps:

  • Go to Google Play Store then search for an app called “AZ Screen Recorder” and download the app;
  • Once the download is complete, open the AZ Screen Recorder app and tap the “Record” button to start recording the screen;
  • Please do all the activities on your Xiaomi cellphone that you want to record, when it’s finished tap the “Stop” button;
  • You can check the screen recording results in the AZ Screen Recorder application or in the gallery.

Conclusion

That was how to record the screen on a Xiaomi cellphone either by using additional features or by using third-party applications.

This method is useful for those of you who want to make tutorials, record screens while playing games , or others.

For those of you who don’t want to be complicated and only need the basic features of screen recording, then the first method is perfect for you to use.

Meanwhile, if you want more features when recording the screen, then using the second method is a good choice.
