You can make a screen recording to capture what’s happening on your iPad screen and save it as a video. You can even turn on the microphone to add audio.
Recording starts after a 3-second countdown, and your screen recordings are saved to your photo library automatically. The Screen Recording control is in Control Center, and you can review your screen recordings with your other media types in the Photos app.
Note: You can’t record your screen while using screen mirroring, and some apps might not allow you to record their content.
