By default your microphone will be set to off, but if you want the microphone to record audio as you're recording the screen, tap the screen to turn the microphone on. Do be aware that some apps may not allow you to record audio.

Once you hit the "Start Recording" option, everything that happens on your screen will be recorded. This includes notifications, so you may want to consider putting your device into airplane mode if you don't want anything to pop up during your recording session.
