Does Instagram Notify When You Screen Record a Video Call?

Social media platforms are slowly gaining more and more significance in our lives. People from all walks of life now rely on social media for entertainment, mindless media consumption, and even their livelihood. The internet has made and broken many people’s lives in the past few years during its peak influence.

However, it doesn’t look like we can call that phase its peak influence period, as it’s still growing daily. Before the pandemic, entertainment was web-series on OTT platforms or games.

But during the pandemic, people devised new ways to keep themselves occupied and happy to escape loneliness. Today, entertainment is a broad genre with hundreds of niched sections and subsections; there’s something for everyone.

We had reached a point in technology where there was nothing at the office that you couldn’t do at home. Employees could even record meetings while working from home and return to them when they can give all their attention. Doesn’t that sound so useful?

In today’s blog, we’ll discuss whether or not Instagram will notify users when you screen-record a video call.

Does Instagram Notify When You Screen Record a Video Call?

Let’s say you’re having a video chat with someone you don’t know/trust. Of course, you do so on Instagram, but that’s not enough. It would be a great idea to record that call so that you have proof of what they said or did, right?

However, you don’t want them to know that you’re recording the call, or else the entire thing becomes pointless. Well, don’t worry because we come bearing good news.

There’s no option or feature on Instagram that lets users know that their video call is being recorded. You can easily set up the recording before or during the call.

Here’s how to video call someone on Instagram

Step 1: Launch Instagram on your smartphone and log in to your account.

Step 2: The first screen you’ll land on is the Home page. You’ll see the Messenger icon at the top right corner. Tap on it.

Step 3: This’ll bring you to your DMs. Tap on the chats with the person you wish to video call.

Step 4: At the top right corner of the screen, there are three icons. Tap on the first icon, which is a video camera icon.

There you go! Don’t forget to turn on the screen recording! The call is sent, and they can pick up any moment.

In the end

As we end this blog, let’s recap all we’ve discussed today.
