The Screen Recording feature seems to work at first. But when I turned it on for the second time from the control center, it was no longer functioning. I noticed that when I tapped on the new "Start Broadcast" button, it activates the Screen Recording but it just activates and doesn't do its intended function. And because it's supposed to stream everything I do on my iPad's screen, it apparently doesn't do anything neither does it keep a copy of the recording. There is a blue bar on top of the screen which indicates that the screen recording is in progress and when I stopped it, it was supposed to save a video file of the recording but it didn't. There is no "Save to Photo App" notification which is suppose to confirm that a video file of the screen recording was created.

I understand iOS 11 is still in its early beta stage so it's a given that some features really don't work just yet. The Screen Recording feature is one of the features that I am so eager to try. This feature can help me show the screen of my device on my next blog posts so you will see iOS 11 in action from a video recording.I tried anything to make it work but when I thought I was already on a dead end, I stopped and eventually conceded. Here are the workarounds i did to try to enable the Screen Recording feature but to no avail, didn't work out as expected:
1. I enabled screen recording from Settings > Control Center > Customize Control and tapped the green plus icon on the left of "Screen Recording". Doing this would make the screen recording button appear in the Control Center. I redid it thrice, it let me record the screen but no videos were saved.
2. I went to Settings > General > Restrictions > Game Center and turned off screen recording. I Restarted my device and turned it on again. I tried recording again from the control center, the recording has started and when it was finished, no video was saved.
3. I reset all settings of my device, tried recording and didn't find any success doing it.
4. I hard reset the device, the problem still do exists.
I am not sure if this bug is present on other devices as well but one thing is certain: it just doesn't work on my iPad Air. I have sent a feedback about this [using the Feedback Assitant App] and I'm looking forward for the iOS Beta 4 [iOS Public Beta 3] hoping that this would be fixed as soon as possible.
How about you? Were you able to enable Screen Recording on your iPad Air First Gen and/or other iOS Device(s)? Let me know by dropping a comment on the comment box below.
