Screen recording has video but no audio
Long-press the Screen Record button in Control Centre (don't just tap it) to see audio options. Make sure the microphone toggle is red and on. Then check Settings → Privacy → Microphone to confirm screen recording has permission.
Screen recording captures two types of sound: your voice through the microphone, and app sounds like music or notifications. Just tapping the record button skips the audio settings. Long-pressing shows you the audio options. Some apps like Spotify and Netflix block audio recording on purpose.
- ✓Have Control Centre visible and ready to access
- ✓Know whether you want to record your voice, app sounds, or both
- ✓Check that the mute switch is off (toggle faces up)
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step, just tap, no typing needed.

- Forgetting that the mute switch blocks the microphone during all recording
- Trying to record audio from apps that don't allow it like Spotify or Netflix
Signs you need professional help
