Screen Recorder - Record Video

What it does

Screen Recorder - Record Video captures activity on an Android screen, including gameplay, app demonstrations and video calls. It is aimed at people who need a recording to explain, share or revisit what happened on screen, rather than simply take a screenshot. The app is published by Kevin's Lab and sits in the Video Players & Editors category.

Recording and editing

A floating control provides a way to start recording, and the control can hide while capture is in progress. The app also offers internal audio recording on Android 10 and later, plus a face-camera option for adding a small view of the person recording. Its listed recording options include resolutions up to 1080p and frame rates up to 60 frames per second; actual results depend on the device and the content being captured.

After recording, users can trim or combine clips, adjust volume and aspect ratio, and add text, stickers, filters or music. These tools make it possible to prepare a basic explainer or reaction video in the same app. Users seeking a full video-editing suite may still prefer a dedicated editor, while someone who mainly needs screen capture may not use most of these extras.

What it asks of the device

Screen capture requires the Android system’s screen-recording access, and recording audio or using the face camera involves additional device permissions. Long or high-resolution recordings can take up storage and use device resources. The app’s tools are most relevant when the goal is to make a shareable video; for occasional, short captures, the extra editing features may be unnecessary.

Audience and standing

With more than 5 million installs and a rating of about 4.1 from roughly 84,900 reviews, it has a substantial user base, though those figures do not establish how well it will perform on a particular phone. Compared with a basic recorder, it combines capture with lightweight editing and face-camera recording. Compared with specialist editors, its focus remains on recording the screen first.
