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 Huawei Honor 8 Pro. (If we already have it, we can go to point 5).

To check it, we unlock our Honor 8 Pro 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:

If the Huawei Honor 8 Pro 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 Huawei Honor 8 Pro does not start the video recording, we will have to download an application from the application store to perform this action.

To do this we go to our application store either Play Store, Galaxy Store or any other that we use on our Huawei Honor 8 Pro 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.

Once installed we can return to the first step of this tutorial.
