Creating a Screen Recording of a Mobile App

Mar 27, 2024

Does anyone have suggestions for creating a screen recording of a mobile app that will generate the callouts the same way they do for desktops?

In the past (on my Pixel) I used an app that allowed me to show my screen on my desktop. 

I still had to click on the phone, but I could capture all of the screens on my computer. 

Once I had the screens, I brought them into Storyline and created the interaction. But you have to create all of the hotspots and callouts.

Here is a possible workaround:

  • Load all of the screens in some app, like a picture app or even on PowerPoint slides.
  • Then set them to advance on click. Basically you want to show the image and click on it to change to the next image.
  • Then use Storyline to capture this with the Record Screen feature. It'll generate a generic hotspot and the feedback layers/callouts. And you can go into each slide and edit it.
