Estimated time: 5 minutes.

1- First step:

First of all we are going to check that we have the screen recording icon in the quick access panel of our A1 ALPHA. (If we already have it, we can go to point 4).

To check it, we unlock our ALPHA and slide a finger from the top edge of the screen down a few centimeters to display the quick panel in which the quick settings will appear such as connecting to a Wi-Fi network, connecting Bluetooth, mute, airplane mode, etc.

Slide down again with one finger to display the full panel, check if it has the screen recording icon shown below:

The icons of the settings that we have already defined in the A1 ALPHA quick panel will appear above and below, separated by a horizontal line, the settings icons that we can add to the panel.

We look for the screen recording icon, click on the icon and without releasing it we drag to the top to add it to the quick panel.

If you do not see the screen recording icon on your ALPHA device, it may be disabled by the manufacturer or not available on A1 ALPHA, in which case we go to the point “If we do not have the option to record screen natively”.

By clicking on the "Record audio" drop-down icon you can choose if you want only the sound of the microphone to be recorded in the video (this is useful, for example, to explain how an app works to an acquaintance or to record a message while recording A1 ALPHA screen video), device audio only, or microphone sound and device audio at the same time.

If you do not want the video to have external sounds, you must record it in a noise-free environment.

If the A1 ALPHA does not have the option to record screen

In the event that the screen recording icon is not available and that simultaneously pressing the volume up and power buttons on the A1 ALPHA does not start the video recording, we will have to download an application from the application store to perform this action.

Your A1 ALPHA do not have Google Play or another apps store?

Check the following article to learn how to install applications without Google Play from alternative stores and how to install Google Play if your ALPHA does not have it incorporated Google Play alternatives.

To do this we go to our application store either Play Store, Galaxy Store or any other that we use on our A1 ALPHA and search for “screen recorder”, we must bear in mind that any free application that we download will contain advertising, and we must not download any application that ask us for excessive permissions such as access to Bluetooth, contacts or the camera.

The permissions that will be required for any screen recording application are “Access to multimedia content and files”, the permission to “Record video and audio” and the “Show above” permission is optional if you want to have a floating window with the controls of record, microphone, stop, etc.
