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 (FaceTime) with a family member to keep it as a souvenir or to use it as evidence or a TikTok video.

To make this recording in your Apple iPad mini (2021) follow these steps:

Estimated time: 2 minutes.

1- First step:

First of all we must verify that we have the control of screen recording activated in our iPad mini (2021) (if we already have it we can go to point 5). To check it we go to Settings, it is the gear icon that appears on the home screen of your Apple iPad mini (2021).

2- Second step:

We go down through the menu on the left until we find the “Control Center” 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 iPad mini (2021) 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.

If that activated control does not appear, we go down and in the “MORE CONTROLS” section it will appear, click on the green + buttonto add it. Once this step is done we can exit the settings of the Apple iPad mini (2021).

If you want to record a video using the microphone in addition to the sound of the iPad mini (2021) 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 iPad mini (2021) screen) press and hold the buttonpress 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.

8- Eighth step:

A message will appear at the top of your Apple iPad mini (2021) 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 iPad mini (2021) go to the Photos application where you will find it in the last position.

In your iPad mini (2021) you can store the screen recordings in video thanks to its internal 64GB 4GB RAM, 256GB 4GB RAM memory.
