Well I mean, yes it is, but in the end, it is. The law against video recording was passed by the FCC in 1984. According to the FCC, “Video recording is prohibited by Federal and State law if the device is capable of recording audio and visual sounds from the microphone,” and “A device that produces sound or that is equipped with a video image recorder is not considered to be capable of recording.
That’s why it is illegal for you to record your own screen.
Just because you are recording your own screen from your phone, there is absolutely no reason that you can’t record your own screen from your computer. You can even put a microphone on your computer to record from your PC if you want.
If you are a citizen of the United States, you are allowed to record your screen anywhere that it is not an unlawful recording. However, if you are in a country that prohibits screen recording, you can not record your own screen. You can still record from your PC or phone, but you can not record your own screen.
The debate rages on. There’s no clear answer. But, there are certain things that seem to be clear cut. For example, if you ask a user to record their screen, you can’t use the microphone to record the screen. But, if you are recording from a distance, you can use the microphone. However, you can’t use the microphone to record your own screen.
However, even if you can record your own screen, you might not be able to use it. The reason is that you can only record content you have access to, like a camera, and the content is not available to you. But, if you are recording the content of someone else’s screen, then you can use it.
I’ve seen a few articles on the topic where people say that it could cause your screen to be recorded. But, I’m not sure if it is legal, but I think you can’t be charged with a crime for using your phone. Just like an old movie, if you’re not sure it’s legal, you can always go to jail.
It would be illegal for me to use my phone to record my screen but I cant really tell you if it is or not. I was just told that it is legal, but Im not sure.
I think it is illegal for people to use their cell phone while driving, but the content of your own phone is not recorded.
I think I’ve made my point.
