Mobile Recording

Tutorial AI supports mobile screen recordings for creating tutorials of iOS and Android apps. Since mobile screens don’t visually capture tap gestures by default, Tutorial AI provides a Tap Marker tool to highlight touch interactions in your video.

How to record mobile screens

There are two ways to get a mobile recording into Tutorial AI:

Method	Platform	How
Direct capture	iOS (Mac only)	Connect your iPhone/iPad to your Mac and use the Desktop App’s mobile recording feature
Import recording	iOS, Android	Record with your device’s built-in screen recorder, then import via Upload Mobile Recording in the Screen Recordings tab

Note

Direct iPhone/iPad capture is only available in the macOS Desktop App. For Android devices, or if you’re on Windows, use the import method.

Adding tap markers

When recording on a mobile device, tap gestures are not visually captured by default. The Tap Marker tool lets you mark where taps occurred so viewers can follow your actions.

Step 1: Open the Tap Marker tool

Open the Tap Marker tool from the video toolbar.

Step 2: Locate the tap frame

1. Play your video
2. Pause at the point where an interaction occurred
3. Use the left and right arrow keys to move frame by frame for precise placement

Step 3: Mark and name the tap

Click the screen at the tap location, then assign a descriptive name to identify it in your workflow.

Step 4: Sync taps with narration

All recorded taps appear as Sync Markers within your project. After marking all relevant taps:

1. Click Finish to proceed
2. Tutorial AI uses the tap names to auto-generate a script aligned with your actions
3. Drag the Sync Markers into their corresponding points in the narration editor to synchronize tap events with your narration

Tip

Name your taps descriptively (e.g., “Tap Settings icon”, “Tap Save button”). These names help AI generate more accurate narration scripts.
