Here are two ways to screen share your iPhone to your Mac and screen record at the same time. If you're like me, when you go to screen share it to your computer. Once it starts sharing, you get a black screen as soon as you start recording. So, the first way to fix it is to take your iPhone cable and plug it into your computer and your iPhone. Next, on your computer, open the QuickTime player. Go to the top lefthand corner where you see file. Hit new movie recording. Click the little drop down arrow. Go down to where you see your phone screen. Tap it. And that's the first method. But maybe you don't want a cable attached. So, let's take that out. Now, the second one I found is much faster and cleaner. It's using an app called Reflector. I'll drop the link below, but it's as simple as swiping down, hitting the screen share button, casting to the new option that you created. You can call it whatever you want. Mine's called a YouTube recording. And there you go. Subscribe if this is helpful.
