Introduction

Screen recording is one of the most useful features in modern smartphones — whether you want to capture gameplay, record tutorials, or save video calls, having a smooth and high-quality recording tool is essential.

On Motorola phones running Hello UI, this function is built directly into the system. You don’t need any third-party apps or risky APKs — Motorola offers a native screen recorder that lets you record the screen with internal audio, microphone audio, or both at the same time.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about using the Motorola Hello UI Screen Recorder, from setup to advanced customization and troubleshooting.

What Is Hello UI and Why It Matters

Hello UI is Motorola’s refined version of Android — a clean, fast, and lightweight interface that blends the best of stock Android with Motorola’s smart tools like:

  • Moto Actions (gestures such as double-chop for flashlight)

  • Moto Personalize (theme customization)

  • Moto Secure (privacy control)

  • Native screen recorder (for seamless capture with or without audio)

Because Hello UI is designed for performance and simplicity, it allows you to record your screen without lag or frame drops — even during gaming or streaming.

1. How to Access the Screen Recorder on Motorola Hello UI

You don’t need to install anything. The screen recorder is built into the Quick Settings panel.

Steps to Access It:

  1. Swipe down from the top of your screen to open the Quick Settings panel.

  2. Swipe down again to expand it fully.

  3. Look for the Screen Recorder icon (it looks like a small video camera).

  4. If you don’t see it:

    • Tap the pencil/edit icon.

    • Scroll to find Screen Recorder in the list of hidden tiles.

    • Drag and drop it into your active Quick Settings area.

  5. Now, simply tap the Screen Recorder icon to start using it.

2. How to Record Screen with Audio

Motorola Hello UI gives you flexible audio recording options depending on what you want to capture — from system sounds to your microphone voice.

Steps to Record Screen with Audio:

  1. Open the Quick Settings panel.

  2. Tap Screen Recorder.

  3. A pop-up window will appear with the following options:

    • 🎧 Record audio: Toggle ON or OFF.

    • 🎙 Audio source: Choose one of these:

      • Microphone: Captures your voice (best for tutorials).

      • Device audio: Captures internal sounds (best for gameplay or music).

      • Microphone & device audio: Records both your voice and internal audio simultaneously.

  4. (Optional) Enable Show touches on screen if you’re making a tutorial.

  5. Tap Start to begin recording.

After a 3-second countdown, your Motorola phone will start recording everything on your screen.

3. How to Stop or Pause the Recording

When you’re done recording, you can easily pause or stop it:

  • Swipe down from the top to open the notification shade.

  • You’ll see a notification that says “Screen Recorder is recording.”

  • Tap Stop or Pause as needed.

Once stopped, your video will be automatically saved in the Gallery › Screen Recordings folder.

4. Where to Find and Edit Your Recordings

After recording, you can instantly review, trim, or share your screen captures.

Steps to Access Your Recordings:

  1. Open the Photos or Gallery app.

5. Adjust Screen Recording Quality and Frame Rate

Some Motorola Hello UI builds allow you to adjust screen recording settings manually for higher-quality captures.

To Change Quality Settings:

  1. Go to Settings › System › Screen Recorder (if available).

  2. Choose:

    • Resolution: 720p, 1080p, or 1440p (depending on your phone).

    • Frame rate: 30fps or 60fps.

    • Audio bitrate: Normal or high quality.

If your phone doesn’t show this menu, the system automatically optimizes settings based on performance.

💡 Tip: For gaming or professional recordings, use 1080p @ 60fps with device audio only to avoid noise interference.

6. Use Screen Recorder for Different Scenarios

🎧 2. Use Wired Earphones with Mic:
For clearer narration, connect wired or Bluetooth earphones with a built-in mic.

⚙️ 3. Keep Brightness and Volume Consistent:
Inconsistent brightness can affect video quality, especially during tutorials.

🧠 4. Use Landscape Mode for Tutorials and Games:
It provides a wider, professional-looking video layout.

🗂 5. Backup Recordings Automatically:
Turn on Google Photos backup so your recordings are saved in the cloud.

9. Using Third-Party Apps (Optional)

While Motorola Hello UI’s built-in recorder is excellent, you can also try third-party apps for extra editing features:

  • 🎥 AZ Screen Recorder – No watermark, live stream support.

  • 🧩 XRecorder by InShot – Advanced editing tools.

  • 💬 Mobizen Screen Recorder – Face cam and commentary options.

⚠️ However, avoid installing APKs from unknown sources. Always use Google Play Store for safety.

  3. Select Device Audio Only.

  4. Tap Start Recording.

Now your phone will only record internal game or app sounds — perfect for gaming content creators.
