Common questions
Why does the system button say “Start Broadcast”?
That is the button name in the iOS recording dialog. Tap it to start the recording.
Can I lock the screen while recording?
Keep the screen awake during recording. After saving to your library, you can listen with the screen locked.
What should I check if there is no sound?
Check that recording has started and the source is playing, then try a short recording. Some sources or iOS may block capture; import an available audio file instead.
Recording depends on iOS and the source app. Only save audio you have permission to record.
