It was surprisingly difficult to record internal audio on an Android smartphone without rooting or purchasing the phone from a specific manufacturer. However, apps starting with Android 10 have the so-called Extensive Audio Input Sharing API. It was originally introduced as a function that catered for following accessibility, but live captions, developers quickly discovered a utility for adding internal audio recording to screen capture apps. .
One thing to keep in mind. Apps can disable support for audio APIs used by Screen Recorder. This means that sometimes you won’t be able to hear audio from your recordings even if you’ve enabled these settings correctly. This may be the case with phone apps in countries or states that prohibit call recording. And, as you might have guessed, this applies to most streaming services and some games as well. Before recording anything important, check that your screen recorder captures audio correctly.

Nowadays most of the manufacturers have built-in screen recorders like Google, Samsung, OnePlus, Xiaomi, Huawei. You can access tools like these on your phone, so you may not need additional apps.
Google Pixel phones natively support recording device audio. From Android 11. To access the tools, open the Quick Settings toggle by swiping down twice from the top of the screen. On the second page you may have to swipe left to see the screen recorder, but if you don’t have a screen recorder, you need to press the pencil button and from there add the tool to the quick settings toggle. After accessing Screen Recorder, make sure “Device Audio” is selected under “Record Audio” and don’t forget to toggle on next to the drop-down menu.

Samsung can additionally draw on the screen and add video from the front-facing camera if desired.
