So now that you know why you would want to record the screen of your device, it’s time to learn how. As for me, I’m still trying to master 2048 like it’s 2014. Share your Pokemon Go! conquests with the world? Enough said. Whether you choose to record narration or let the visuals do the talking on their own, you can be sure your recipient will know exactly what you mean. Instead of typing out your comments in an email or text, you can record your thoughts and changes while reviewing. Now you can review documents and images, and offer feedback from just about anywhere. IOS 11’s new screen recording feature allows you to do even more. Video previews show what sets your app apart from the crowd, and provide that extra incentive for a potential customer to click the Buy button. Much like a video demonstrating new features or functionality, App Store video previews are a great way to show people exactly how your app works. Plus, iOS 11’s ability to capture narration means you can explain what you’re doing, too. Either way, you can demonstrate exactly how your app works. You may choose to do a series of short videos highlighting individual features or a more detailed version. Whether you’ve created a new app or just updated an existing one, video is a great way to show people the features you’re most proud of. Demonstrate new app features or functionality If you’re part of a team working on an iOS app, screen recordings can be a great way to show the rest of your team what’s happening so you can get that patch out as quickly as possible. This is also helpful for your in-house development team. Instead, I can record a video of what I’m doing when the error occurs and share it with the app creator to help them better identify what’s happening. Sometimes when I encounter an error or bug in the app I’m using, I struggle to describe exactly what I was doing when it happened. This is the perfect example of show, don’t tell. You can also use screen recording to help a customer who has contacted your support team with a software question, a colleague looking to learn a new process, and a lot more. Unless, that is, she forgets I sent her the video. Then, the next time she forgets, she can just refer to the video. The next time I get a call from my mother wanting me to remind her how to post a video to Instagram, I won’t talk her through it, I’ll record myself doing it and then send her the video.
