Why does the Screen Record on Facetime have No Audio?

If you’re unable to record FaceTime with audio, then you’ll need to put the headsets off your iPhone and then start recording the FaceTime call. Often when you’re recording the screen while the headset is inserted, it doesn’t record the audio. 

Increase and maximize the volume of FaceTime calls so that the audio can be recorded properly.

Before starting the call, you’ll need to make sure that you don’t have much noise in the background. If you have a noisy background, it will interfere with the sound of the recording and will probably hamper the whole recording. 

Therefore, record the FaceTime in a quiet place where you don’t have many distractions or noise in the background so that the sound or the audio of the call can be recorded properly.

Still, if you’re unable to record the FaceTime call with audio, then, you should use a third-party app instead of the system screen recorder.
