Plugin.Maui.ScreenRecording provides the ability to record the screen from within your .NET MAUI app.

I have also recorded a video on how to get started with this plugin. Watch it here!

Available on NuGet.

Install with the dotnet CLI: dotnet add package Plugin.Maui.ScreenRecording, or through the NuGet Package Manager in Visual Studio.

In MauiProgram.cs add the reference to the screen recording plugin:

    using Plugin.Maui.ScreenRecording;

Then add a call to .UseScreenRecording() on your MauiAppBuilder. For example:

var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
builder
    .UseMauiApp<App>()
    .UseScreenRecording() // This line was added
    .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
    {
        fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
        fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");
    });

For Android you will need to setup a few things in your AndroidManifest.xml file. See an example below.
You should already have a AndroidManifest.xml file in your project, make sure to compare it with the example below and add the missing things.

<application>
	<service android:name="Plugin.Maui.ScreenRecording.ScreenRecordingImplementation.ScreenRecordingService" android:exported="false" android:foregroundServiceType="mediaProjection" />
</application>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />

<!-- This one is only needed when targeting API 34 and up -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PROJECTION" />

If you want to save recordings to the Photos app, you will need to declare the NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription permission in your info.plist file.

For example:

<key>NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription</key>
<string>We'd like to add the screen recordings to your Photos app!</string>

The permission will automatically be requested by the library when needed.

Not supported (yet).

On the page you want the screen recorder, create a variable and retrieve the static instance of the ScreenRecording object.

    readonly IScreenRecording screenRecording;
    
    this.screenRecording = ScreenRecording.Default;

To check if device is capable of making screen recordings:

screenRecording.IsSupported;

To start recording:

screenRecording.StartRecording();

Additionally you can provide ScreenRecordingOptions to influence the behavior:

ScreenRecordingOptions options = new()
{
	EnableMicrophone = true,
	SaveToGallery = true,
	SavePath = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), "myRecording.mp4"),
};

screenRecording.StartRecording(options);

To stop recording:

ScreenRecordingFile screenResult = await screenRecording.StopRecording();

This project could not have came to be without these projects and people, thank you! <3

A big thank you to @rdurish who provided the initial implementation for Android. Amazing work!
