You can’t record everything on your iPhone 12. The biggest problem is that you can’t record streaming apps like Netflix, Disney +, or Amazon Prime Video. That is because otherwise it would be possible to pirate the programs you are transmitting, which would go against the terms and conditions of use of the service.
In general, you can record anything on your iPhone 12, including clips from the games you are playing.
Notifications and phone calls are also recorded, so you may want to activate Do not disturb mode whenever you make a screen recording.

In a word, you can’t. The only options you can adjust are the ability to start a Facebook Messenger broadcast instead of recording and saving to your photos. You cannot adjust the resolution or even the video quality of the clip.
