How to Record FaceTime with Audio

Have you tried recording a FaceTime call on your iPhone or iPad and wound up with a with a silent video? On the latest versions of iOS (beginning with iOS 13.3), it's no longer possible to record a FaceTime video with audio using your iPhone or iPad's screen recorder for privacy reasons—even if you enable the microphone. However, you can capture the audio of a FaceTime call with a simple workaround that involves connecting your iPhone or iPad to a Mac. This wikiHow article will teach you how to record a FaceTime call with audio and video on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

[Edit]iPhone & iPad (iOS 13.3 and Later)

  1. Connect your iPhone or iPad to a Mac. Apple doesn't allow you to screen record FaceTime calls with audio on an iPhone or iPad, but you can connect your device to a Mac to record the call with QuickTime. Use the Lightning cable that came with your iPhone or iPad to make the connection.

[Edit]Warnings

  • Before recording any call with audio, including FaceTime calls, you may need to ask permission from the other person (or people) on the call, depending on your region. It's important to be aware of your region's call recording laws before starting your recording. For example, in the US, all parties on a call in California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Washington are some states that require this.
