2 Best Methods To Record the Screen On Android TV

Android TV is an operating system built by Google for smart televisions, media sticks, and set-top-boxes. It’s quite different from Google TV, which was shut down a few years ago. While Google TV has a lack of apps, Android TV has access to the play store.

Android TV is an Android operating system optimized for big-screen devices in short and simple words. Since Android TV allows users to install apps directly from the Play Store, lots of users want to record their TV Screen.

Even though there are plenty of screen recorder apps available on the Play Store, recording Android TV screens is not as seamless as you have on your Android phone. In order to prevent piracy, Google actually removed the user-facing ‘Draw over other apps’ settings page to stop apps from capturing/recording the screen.
