When the screen recorder on your RealMe 16 finishes recording but no video shows up, it can feel like your effort was wasted. This issue usually comes from storage limits, permission problems, or background restrictions that stop the file from being saved properly. The good news is that you can fix it with a few focused checks and quick adjustments.
Why Your RealMe 16 Screen Recorder Is Not Saving Videos
- Storage space is full or nearly full.
- Screen Recorder does not have permission to save files.
- Background activity is restricted by battery optimization.
- The save location is set incorrectly.
- A temporary system glitch interrupts the recording process.
1. Check Available Storage Space
Screen recordings create large files, especially for long videos or high resolution recordings. If storage is almost full, the recording may stop without saving anything.
Open Settings, and then tap Storage.
Check the available space and free up storage if it is low.
2. Allow Storage Permissions for Screen Recorder
The Screen Recorder app needs permission to save videos to your phone. If this permission is denied, recordings will fail even though the recording appears to work.
Open Settings, and then tap Privacy.
Tap Permission manager and allow Storage access for Screen Recorder.
3. Disable Battery Optimization for Screen Recorder
Battery optimization can stop apps from running properly in the background. This can interrupt the recording process before the file is saved.
Open Settings, and then tap Battery.
Tap App battery management and set Screen Recorder to allow background activity.
4. Check the Screen Recorder Save Location
If the save folder is changed or unavailable, recordings may not appear in your Gallery. Making sure the default folder is active helps avoid missing files.
Open Screen Recorder, and then tap Settings.
Check Save location and switch it back to Internal storage if needed.
5. Restart Your Phone
A restart refreshes system services and clears temporary issues that can affect recording. It is a simple step that often restores normal behavior.
Open Quick Settings, and then tap the Power icon.
Tap Restart and wait for the phone to turn back on.
6. Update the System Software
Software bugs can affect built in tools like Screen Recorder. Installing updates ensures you have the latest fixes and improvements.
Open Settings, and then tap Software update.
Check for updates and install any available version.
Once these steps are done, try recording your screen again on the RealMe 16. In most cases, the video will save correctly and appear in your Gallery right away.
FAQs
Where are screen recordings saved on the RealMe 16?
They are usually saved in the Screen recordings folder inside your internal storage. You can access them through the Gallery or File Manager.
Can low battery stop screen recordings from saving?
Yes. If the battery is critically low, the system may stop background processes to save power, which can interrupt the recording.
Does recording in high resolution affect saving videos?
Yes. Higher resolution recordings create larger files, which require more storage and processing power. Lowering the resolution can improve reliability.
