  • @StevenVascellaro How is this the same? This question is clearly about screen recording whilst the question you've mentioned is about "Airplay Mirror" for which answer is a free solution.

  • I may have misjudged my duplicate flag. It's less that the question is duplicate and more so the accepted answer for both is a duplicate. Neither question is an exact duplicate, they're just fairly similar.

  • In hindsight, it might be better if the other question is closed as a duplicate of this one.

  • @StevenVascellaro Neither question is a duplicate of the other, screen recording and screen mirroring may have different solutions/answers.
