Record screen in Huawei nova 8 Pro 5G

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

To check it, we unlock our nova 8 Pro 5G 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:

2- Second step:

If we do not see the screen recording icon on the quick panel of our Huawei nova 8 Pro 5G click on the edit icon of the quick panel, which is normally the symbol of a pencil.

3- Third step:

The icons of the settings that we have already defined in the Huawei nova 8 Pro 5G 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 nova 8 Pro 5G device, it may be disabled by the manufacturer or not available on Huawei nova 8 Pro 5G, in which case we go to the point “If we do not have the option to record screen natively”.

4- Fourth step:

We already have the screen recording icon on the Huawei nova 8 Pro 5G quick panel, press "Done" to close the nova 8 Pro 5G quick panel editing screen.

5- Fifth step:

To start the recording we have two options: simultaneously press the volume up and power buttons of the Huawei nova 8 Pro 5G or a simpler and less likely to fail which is to display the quick panel by sliding a finger from the top of the screen and pressing the screen recording icon that we added in the previous steps.

6- Sixth step:

If it is the first time that we record the screen on the Huawei nova 8 Pro 5G, several messages will appear asking for permissions. The first will ask us for permission to access photos, media files, videos, etc. Click on "allow" since it is necessary to grant this permission so that the video of the screen recording is stored in the internal memory of the nova 8 Pro 5G.

7- Seventh step:

The next permission that you must grant on your Huawei nova 8 Pro 5G is to allow audio files to be recorded, this permission allows you to record internal sounds, that is, the sounds that the nova 8 Pro 5G itself emits, for example in videos.

8- Eighth step:

The following message that will appear when recording the screen of the Huawei nova 8 Pro 5G is a warning that all operations that occur from that moment will be recorded, that includes the recording of personal information and passwords, it will also ask for permission to access the microphone to record ambient sound, this is useful for example if you want to record your voice at the same time as the screen.

9- Ninth step:

Finally, an information message will appear on how to mute the microphone and how to stop screen recording on your Huawei nova 8 Pro 5G. Press "Got it" to start screen recording.

10- Tenth step

To stop recording, simultaneously press the volume up and power buttons on your Huawei nova 8 Pro 5G again or click on "Stop" at the top left of the screen. You can also swipe from the top of the screen to open the notification list and stop recording from there by pressing the square button.

11- Step eleven

The captured video is saved in the photo and video gallery of your Huawei nova 8 Pro 5G. Open the gallery and click on the last element that appears, you can edit the video and send it or upload it to a social network.
