Screen recording on your Redmi Note 14 Pro is a great way to capture tutorials, save funny moments from social media, or record your high scores in a game. The feature is built right into HyperOS, so you don't need to download anything extra to get started.
Access the Screen Recorder from Quick Settings
Swipe down from the top of your screen twice to open the full Quick Settings panel. Look for a tile labeled Screen recorder. If you don't see it immediately, tap the pencil icon to edit your tiles and add it from the list of available options.
Once it's in your panel, a single tap on the Screen recorder tile will launch the tool. I've found this is the fastest way to start a recording without fumbling through menus.
Configure Audio and Start Your Recording
When you tap the tile, a small control panel will pop up from the bottom of your screen. Here, you can choose your audio source before you begin. You have three options: System sound (captures audio from apps and games), Microphone (records your voice only), or System sound and microphone (captures both).
You can also toggle Show touches on or off. This is super helpful for tutorials, as it displays a white circle wherever you tap. When you're ready, just hit the red Record button. A three-second countdown gives you time to get to the app or screen you want to capture.
Manage Your Recording While It's Active
Once recording starts, you'll see a floating toolbar with a few controls. The red dot is your main stop button. You can also pause and resume the recording from here, which is handy if you need to step away momentarily.
There's also a button to switch to the front camera, creating a picture-in-picture overlay of your face. This is perfect for reaction videos or detailed walkthroughs where you want to be on screen. You can drag this toolbar anywhere on the edge of your display so it doesn't block content.
Stop and Find Your Recording
To stop, simply tap the red stop button on the floating toolbar. You can also swipe down from the top and tap the Stop button in the persistent notification. Your video will save automatically.
By default, your screen recordings are saved in the Movies/ScreenRecorder folder within your phone's internal storage. You can access them directly through the MIUI Gallery app or any file manager.
Edit Your Video in the Gallery
Open the MIUI Gallery app and find your recording. Tap on it, then select the Edit option. The built-in editor lets you trim the beginning and end, which is useful for cutting out the countdown. You can also add filters, text, or music directly from here.
For more advanced editing, like splicing clips or adding transitions, you might want to use a dedicated app from the Play Store. The Gallery tools are perfect for quick, simple cuts before sharing.
Adjust the Recording Quality
If you want to change the resolution or frame rate, you need to dive into the settings. Open the Settings app, then go to Special features > Screen recorder.
Here, you can set the video quality (like 720p or 1080p), adjust the frame rate, and even change the orientation. Higher settings look better but create much larger files. For most purposes, the default 1080p is a great balance of quality and file size.
Understand Recording Limitations
Due to copyright protection, most premium video streaming apps like Netflix or Disney+ will block screen recording. You'll typically just see a black screen in the recording. Banking and secure payment screens may also block recording for security reasons.
This is a standard Android restriction, not a flaw with your phone. Everyday apps, games, and your own actions on the home screen will record without any issue.
Share Your Video Easily
Once your clip is ready, sharing is straightforward. From the Gallery app, tap the share button on your video. You'll see all your standard options like WhatsApp, Telegram, Gmail, or YouTube.
For very long recordings, the file can get quite large. If you're having trouble sending it, consider trimming it down further or using a file compression app from the Play Store before sharing.
Explore Third-Party Recorder Apps
If you need features like live drawing on screen, more advanced editing, or scheduled recording, third-party apps are a good choice. AZ Screen Recorder and Mobizen are popular, reliable options on the Play Store.
Just remember to grant them the necessary permissions when prompted. These apps can offer more flexibility, though for most people, the built-in HyperOS recorder is more than capable.
