There are multiple ways to record the Screen on your Galaxy S20 Ultra and we'll discuss and explain them all here, starting with the most popular method.

How to record the Galaxy S20 Ultra Screen:

1. Open Quick Settings by swiping down from the top of your screen twice (or you can swipe down with two fingers)

3. Select if you'd like to record with "No Sound", "Media sounds", or "Media sounds and mic"
4. Tap "Start Recording"

Your recording will begin after a 3 second countdown. When you stop the recording (square button) your video will be saved to the Gallery app.

Once the recording begins you'll see a toolbar at the top right which provides these additional options:

• Arrow icon: shows current duration of your recording

  • You can tap the color bubble to change your drawing color
  • The left arrow will "Undo" and the right arrow will "Redo" your changes
• User Avatar: adds a bubble that records using the front facing camera
  • This is ideal for recording yourself talking while screen recording
  • The small bubble on your screen can be moved around my long-pressing and dragging
