How to record a video from the Android screen on a computer

If the video recording on Android assumes the subsequent processing on the computer, you can immediately record on it. For this, you can use the following methods:

Transmit video from the screen to a computer (even using the built-in Windows 10 image broadcast functions) and write a third-party video recording program, such as OBS Studio.
Use special programs to broadcast the Android screen to a computer with a recording function, such as APOWER MIRROR or LETSVIEW.

At the same time, consider that this method of recording is not very suitable for games due to translation delays, but to record instructions and actions in the Android interface and conventional applications it will be more than enough.

Using ADB to capture screen

If simple paths are not for you and something sophisticated, you can record the video from the Android screen using the ADB commands (Android Debug Bridge):

Download and unpack Platform Tools from Google - dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-Tools-tentest-windows.zip
Turn on the USB tab on your Android phone and connect it to a USB computer.
Run the command prompt and enter the command CD path_K_Papka_platform_Tools. (If the folder is not on the disk C:, then first enter the command consisting of the letter of the desired disk with the colon).
Enter the commandadb shell screenRecord /SDCard/Video.mp4
As a result, recording a video file that happens on the Android screen to the SDCard folder, the file name - Video.mp stop recording can be downloaded by clicking Ctrl + C. In the command line window.
If you want to copy the video to the computer, enter the command Pull /SDCard/Video.mp4 file video will be saved to the current folder - Platform Tools.
Screen entry through the console supports settings, which can be obtained using theDB SHELL ScreenRecord --Help command

Video instruction

And, in conclusion, one nuance is some content, for example, a video played on Android may not be recorded (there will be a black screen on the record), this is due to the functions of protection of such content.

That's all. If you have something to add, for example, on the topic of built-in screen capture on other brands of smartphones - your comment will be useful.
