How to record the screen of a Samsung Galaxy A20e

Recording the screen of your mobile/cell phone Samsung Galaxy A20e in a video with sound can be very useful to perform a tutorial or show an acquaintance how to perform certain tasks in a Samsung Galaxy A20e, save in a video file and then send it or upload it to a platform like YouTube or social networks.

Sometimes we would like to record on video with sound a story that we have seen on Instagram of an acquaintance, a phone call or video call with a family member to keep it as a souvenir or to use it as evidence or a TikTok video.

Until now there is no native method built into Android (the Samsung Galaxy A20e comes from the factory with the operating system Android 9.0 Pie) to videotape the screen so you have to use the Game Launcher application from Samsung or third-party applications.
