Record screen in Apple iPod touch 2nd generation

1- First step:

First of all, we need to ensure that screen recording is activated on our iPod touch 2nd generation. If it is already enabled, we can proceed to step 5. To check, we can go to the "Settings" app, which is represented by a gear icon that appears on the home screen of our Apple iPod touch 2nd generation.

2- Second step:

We go down through the menu on the left until we find the “Control Centre” section and click on it and then on “Customize controls”.

3- Third step:

If we already have the screen recording control activated, it will appear in the first list that we see on our iPod touch 2nd generation within the “INCLUDE” section, we can change the order in which it appears by clicking on the three horizontal lines to the right of the control and dragging up or down. We can also remove the control by clicking on the red button on the left.

4- Fourth step:

If that activated control does not appear, we go down and in the “MORE CONTROLS” section it will appear, click on the green + button to add it. Once this step is done we can exit the settings of the Apple iPod touch 2nd generation.

5- Fifth step:

(iPhone 7 and lower and iPad with iOS 11 or earlier) From the screen where you want to start the video, swipe from the bottom up. (iPhone X, iPad with iOS 12 or iPadOS) From the screen where you want to start the video, swipe from the upper right corner down.

6- Sixth step:

If you want to record a video in your Apple iPod touch 2nd generation without using the microphone, press the recording icon, a 3-second countdown will begin and then the recording will begin, you will see a red line at the top of the screen and the word “Recording” which indicates that everything that happens on the screen is being recorded.

If you want to record a video using the microphone in addition to the sound of the iPod touch 2nd generation itself, (this is useful for example to explain the operation of an app to an acquaintance or to record a message while recording the video from Apple iPod touch 2nd generation screen) press and hold the button press on the microphone to activate or deactivate it and press on “Start recording” a 3-second countdown will begin and then the recording will begin.

7- Seventh step:

To stop recording you can open the Control Centre (Point 5 of this tutorial) and press the stop recording button or click on the red line in the status bar at the top of the screen and press “Stop”.

8- Eighth step:

A message will appear at the top of your Apple iPod touch 2nd generation screen stating that the screen recording video has been saved to “Photos” (formerly known as the Camera Roll).

To see and share your video recording of the screen of your Apple iPod touch 2nd generation go to the Photos application where you will find it in the last position.
