The screen recorder on OnePlus and OPPO phones, started from Quick Settings, the Smart Sidebar or Games. It is safe to disable: you lose nothing most people will miss.

What it does

Screen recording captures the screen with system sound, microphone audio or a front-camera overlay, at the quality and frame rate you choose. OnePlus documents starting it from Quick Settings, and OPPO adds the Smart Sidebar and Games as other ways in. It runs only while a recording is set up or in progress.

If you disable it

The Screen recording tile and the recorder in Games stop working. Third-party screen recorders still work.

How to disable it

On most phones Settings greys out Disable for this package, so ADB is the way to turn it off. The commands below work without root and can be undone.

Disable it (reversible)
