Samsung Screen Recorder Missing? This Trick Brings it Back!



Samsung, why you gotta do us like that? It's so clutch for sharing those epic gaming moments or capturing a buggy app to show tech support.

But don't sweat it, I got you. There's a workaround! Here's how to bring that screen recorder back from the dead:


Step 1: Hit Up My Google Drive


I've got the magic files you need right here: 



. Don't worry, it's safe, I wouldn't steer you wrong.

Step 2: Install Time!

Download and install the two apps in the folder. They're pretty self-explanatory, so just follow the on-screen prompts.

Step 3: Unleash the Screen Recorder Beast!

Swipe down on your notification bar and tap that little "+" icon (you know the one).
Find the Screen Recorder icon hiding out in there and drag it to your home screen. Boom! You're back in business.

Pro Tip: Hold down the Screen Recorder icon in your notification bar to choose between "Silent", "System Sounds", or "System Sounds and Mic" recording modes.


Where'd My Recording Go?

Easy peasy! Your recordings automatically save to your "Files" app, not your gallery. Here's the path:
My Files > DCIM > Video Screenshoot


And there you have it, boys and girls. Samsung might try to hide the screen recorder, but we're smarter than that. 😎 Now go forth and record those epic mobile moments!

Awesome!
I thought it wasn't working, cuz it didn't show after recording (the way screenshot does). But I checked the folder and saw all my recordings there.

The 2nd apk doesn't install, it throws the following error thru an external app:
"com.sec.app.screenrecorder INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_BAD_SHARED_USER_ID: Reconciliation failed...: Reconcile failed: Reconcile failed: Non-preload app com.sec.app.screenrecorder signed with platform signature and joining shared uid: android.uid.system"

Hope this helps you update the app.

There appears to be a bug that isn't allowing me to screen record in the first place
Maybe the new update of Samsung caused it?
