Xiaomi 15T Pro: How to Record Your Screen and Optimize Settings

Accessing the Screen Recorder

• 💡 Swipe down from the top right corner of the Xiaomi 15T Pro screen to reveal quick toggles.
• 📌 Locate the screen recording toggle; if it's not visible, tap 'Edit' to add it to your quick settings.

Configuring Screen Recording Settings

• ⚙️ Access settings by holding down the screen recorder toggle.
• 🎯 Default video quality is set to 16 megabits per second, offering a resolution slightly over 1080p.
• 🚀 For smoother recordings, especially during scrolling, change the frame rate from 24 to 60 frames per second.
• ⚠️ Higher frame rates like 90 FPS may not be beneficial for platforms like YouTube, which cap at 60 FPS.

Understanding Video Quality and Storage

• 📊 Video quality is measured in megabits per second, indicating storage usage per second, not necessarily resolution.
• 📈 The recommended range for video quality is between 16 and 32 megabits per second to avoid artifacting and manage storage.
• 💾 A minute of recording at 16 megabits per second uses approximately 51 megabytes, while lower settings like 1 megabit per second use around 7 megabytes per minute.

Starting and Saving Recordings

• ▶️ Tap the screen recorder toggle to bring up the recording interface, which includes access to settings and the recording folder.
• 🎬 Open any application to begin recording; note that some apps like Spotify may block screen recording due to content protection.
• ⏹️ Tap the red square overlay button to stop the recording.

Locating Saved Recordings

• 📁 Saved screen recordings are stored in the Gallery app, typically in a dedicated 'Screen recordings' tab.
• 🖼️ The gallery organizes content into screenshots and screen recordings for easy access.

Tips for Optimal Recording

• 🚫 Be aware that certain applications, like streaming services, may not be recordable directly, but alternatives might exist.
• 💡 Ensure your settings are balanced to achieve high-quality footage without excessive storage consumption.
