What you can do, is you can do a screen recording without sound, and then record audio on another device using Voice Memos or some other voice recording app, and then send the audio and screen recording to the same device and use iMovie or another video editing app to put the screen recording with the audio. That’s what I’ve been doing.LovesHamilton
What you can do is you can screen record your FaceTime, and then record audio on another device using Voice Memos or another voice recording app. Then get both the audio and screen recording on the same device and use iMovie or some other video editing app to put the screen recording with the audio.
