screen recording

Monitor video capture

A screen recording is a video capture of what appears on a computer or phone display, often with audio narration.

Screen recordings are used for tutorials, software demos, bug reports, and sharing gameplay: I made a screen recording to show tech support what was happening.

The verb form is to screen-record.
