How to Screen Record on Samsung Galaxy A30s


Question

My goal is to record my screen. Coming from a Huawei, I would have in the upper area icons an option with "Screen Record". I'm now using a Galaxy A30s with Android 10 and these are the only options available


Page one


and


Page two


So, no screen record.


If I go to Settings and search for "screen record",


No results found


If I search under apps,


No current option


How should I do it?




Edit


As pointed by Robert, I tried to enable the screen recorder via adb but didn't get the desired result.



  1. Download Platform Tools and unzip the folder in location of your choice

  2. Open Command Prompt in that location


Platform Tools



  1. Connect the phone with the computer allowing USB Debugging



  2. Run


    adb shell settings put global settings_screenrecord_long_press true




adb screenrecord_long_press


and this opens up the following in the phone


Allow or not cancel



  1. Click "Allow" and run the command again


No error this time


and appears to be working.



  1. Long press power button. This is what I see


Long press power button


So, still no option to record screen. I restarted the phone as well just in case but that wasn't enough either.


Answer

According to Android 11 announcement page, we can expect a Built-in screen recording



Screen recording lets you capture what’s happening on your phone. And
it’s built right into Android 11, so you don’t need an extra app.
Record with sound from your mic, your device or both.



Considering Samsung releases new OS updates relatively fast, I'll just wait until December 2020 or so in order to update the Android version and then won't have to uncomfortably download an app from the store for this job.
