How to record the Screen in Android Lollipop Phone?

Most of the people who use Android Phone wants to record their screen for either tutorials or just records. With your Android L, you can easily record high resolution videos of your phone or tablet’s screen without having to root the device. Android Kitkat too allowed screen recording but with Lollipop, the process has become almost as easy as recording screencasts on your desktop – you launch an app, hit the record button and everything that’s on your screen, including touches, will be captured as a MPEG-4 video.

The Perfect Screen Recorder for Android

A quick search on the Google Play store returns a dozen Android apps that support screen recording for Android Lollipop or later.
Some apps are free while others are paid but they mostly offer a similar set of features. You can record the screen as well the on-screen touches so the viewer has a better idea about how you are interacting with the apps. They can record the external microphone audio but none of the app. Maybe that is a limitation of the Android platform.

Here are some free Apps to do the same-

1. The most popular option is Mirror Beta that will not only record your Android screen but it can also mirror your phone on to your desktop using AllCast Receiver, a free app for Chrome. There are no complicated settings to choose from, the recording is smooth but the big downside is that the app adds a fairly big watermark and you do not have option to disable it.

3. Telecine is an open-source Android screen recorder with a minimal and uncomplicated interface. It displays a 3-second countdown so you have enough time to hide the actual recorder app from the screencast. Also, you can stop a recording by simply tapping an invisible zone on your screen which is more convenient that tapping the app in the notification bar.

4. The screen recorders from Rivulus, Hecorat and Misty also let you record the Android screen in multiple resolution including 1280×720 and 1920×1080 pixels at 30 frames per second. The recorded screencast can display touches, there are no ads and you can record videos of unlimited length. These apps do however add their icons in the notification window while the recording is in progress.

Hope you like the apps!
