Record Your Face and Screen at the Same Time!
Thanks to Diego Navarro for this great addition!

There's a relatively straightforward way to record both your face and screen at the same time in case you're interested in that. Basically, in quicktime you click "new movie recording" and then "view-->always on top" and then it shows your face through your MacBook camera. You can resize the window and put it anywhere on the screen you want. You don't ever need to start the movie recording, however - in this scenario you're just getting the camera to put your face on the screen as you do the screencast.

You then start a screencast recording. It'll capture whatever is on your screen (which now includes you!).

If you want to record your iPhone or iPad screen, the process is simple -- whether you're nearing the rewarding conclusion to your favorite Apple Arcade game and you want to document it, or you're trying to walk a loved one through how to set up their new phone.

Of course, you can still take screenshots and use its tools to draw and annotate something on your screen, but there are times when a recording -- complete with audio -- is the better route. You'll need to have iOS 11 or a later update installed on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, but that's the only requirement.

Before you can begin using the screen recorder tool, you'll first need to add the feature's button to the Control Center. On your iOS device go to Settings > Control Center > Customize Controls then tap the green plus button next to Screen Recording.

The Screen Recorder button will show a countdown (here it shows "2") after it's selected, allowing you to go to the app or screen you want to record.

Record your screen

After adding the shortcut, you begin by opening Control Center. On iPhones older than the iPhone X ($295 at Amazon), get there by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. On newer iPhones, swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen.

Tap on the Screen Recording button, which will prompt a countdown inside the button followed by it turning red to indicate to begin capturing whatever's on your display.

You'll know when your screen is being recorded because there will either be a red bar across the top of your screen (on older iPhones) or the time will have a red highlight behind it (on newer iPhones). Tap on the red button or bar to stop recording.

With a long-press, you can opt to turn on audio recording so you can narrate your video.

Spice up a recording with audio

What if you want to walk someone through how to use a feature or get past a bug you keep running into? Well, you can turn on your phone's microphone and have it record for as long as a screen-recording session is active.

To turn it on, open the Control Center and long-press on the Screen Recording button. A new menu will show up, with a toggle to turn your microphone on at the bottom. Tap on the Microphone Audio button, it will turn red and then select Start Recording.

The Screen Recording button turns red when your screen is being captured.

OK, I made a recording... now what?

Once you stop recording, you'll be asked if you want to save the video to the Photos app. Open the Photos app to view, edit, crop, and share the video through Messages, email, or even post it to your favorite social network.

Apple delivered the ability to record your screen in iOS 11 a few years ago, but iOS 15 brought even more additions. We'll show you how to clean up your FaceTime video. And check out how to get a burner email address from Apple.

To include sounds with your screen recording (think narration), bring down the Control Centre screen, and this time tap and hold on the Screen Recording button. Now tap the Microphone button to turn your iPhone's mic on, followed by Start Recording to commence the three second countdown.
