iOS 8: Record screencast

On iOS 8, you can record screencasts without jailbreaking. In our instructions you can read how this works.

To record a screencast, you need an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iOS 8 and a Mac or MacBook with OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
In QuickTime Player under OS X 10.10 you have to select the iOS device as the input signal. The screencast can then be completely controlled via the iOS device (see picture).
If your iOS device is not compatible with iOS 8 or you don't have a Mac or MacBook, a screencast is a bit more complex. We show you how this works in this practical tip. If your iOS device has a jailbreak, you will find suitable apps in the Cydia store.
