Record a FaceTime Call on iPhone and iPad

As with many Apple things, recording a FaceTime call is the same on iPhone and iPad. So, although the screenshots below display iPhone, you can follow the same steps on your iPad.

Can You Screen Record FaceTime With Sound?

Even though the screen recording tool on iPhone and iPad does offer a microphone feature, it will not record the audio for a FaceTime call. To speed up the process, you can open FaceTime first, have it ready to place the call, and then open the Control Center and tap the screen record button. You’ll notice that if you enable the microphone for the screen recorder and place your call, only the video will record. You won’t hear any sounds in your recording except those from your device before and after the FaceTime call.
