Why can’t I screen record audio?

I’ve been having issues with screen recording. The videos always record fine but a lot of the times, the audio will not record. I typically screen record from Twitter, YouTube and various places on Safari. Sometimes the video audio will record but sometimes it won’t. I’ve heard of turning on the mic but that picks up way too much background noise to be effective.

iPhone 8, iOS 12

You may not have the right to capture the audio of some web content. Not everything online is free for the taking. Some websites are protecting the audio feed and allowing only the video. Some may even block the video.
