If your vivo X300 Pro records your screen but the video never appears in your gallery, it can be frustrating. You finish recording, expect to review it, and then nothing shows up. This issue is usually caused by storage limits, permission problems, or system glitches, and it can be fixed with a few simple steps.
Why Your vivo X300 Pro Screen Recorder Is Not Saving Videos
- The phone is running low on storage space.
- Storage permissions for the Screen Recorder are disabled.
- The recording failed due to a temporary system glitch.
- The file is saved in a different folder that you have not checked.
- Background restrictions are interrupting the recording process.
1. Check Available Storage Space
Screen recordings take up a lot of space, especially if they are long or recorded in high quality. If your storage is almost full, the phone may fail to save the recording properly.
Open Settings, and then tap Storage.
Check available space, and then delete unnecessary files if storage is low.
After freeing up space, try recording again and see if the video saves correctly.
2. Verify Storage Permissions for Screen Recorder
If the Screen Recorder does not have permission to access storage, it cannot save videos. This setting is often overlooked, especially after software updates.
Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
Find Screen Recorder, and then tap Permissions.
Make sure Storage is set to Allow.
Once enabled, record a short clip to confirm the issue is fixed.
3. Restart Your Phone
Temporary glitches can interrupt the saving process, even if the recording appears to complete. A quick restart refreshes system processes and resolves minor bugs.
Swipe down from the top of the screen, and then open Quick Settings.
Tap the Power icon, and then tap Restart.
After the phone reboots, try using the Screen Recorder again.
4. Check the Correct Save Location
Sometimes the recording is saved, but not where you expect it to be. The file may be stored in a different folder instead of the main gallery view.
Open the File Manager, and then tap Videos.
Look for a folder named Screen recordings, and then check if your video is there.
You can also search for recent files to locate the recording quickly.
5. Disable Background Restrictions
If the Screen Recorder is restricted in the background, the system may stop saving the file once the recording ends. This can prevent the video from being finalized.
Open Settings, and then tap Battery.
Tap Background apps, and then find Screen Recorder.
Allow it to run without restrictions.
Try recording again to confirm that videos are now saved properly.
6. Clear Screen Recorder Cache
Corrupted cache files can interfere with how the Screen Recorder works. Clearing the cache helps reset the app without deleting important data.
Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
Find Screen Recorder, and then tap Storage.
Tap Clear cache to refresh the app.
After clearing the cache, test the feature with a short recording.
Screen Recorder issues on the vivo X300 Pro are usually easy to fix once you identify the cause. After checking storage, permissions, and system settings, your recordings should start saving normally again.
