Should be in Photos app. If its not there try Recently Deleted, else it's gone for good. Or never saved. There is a limit on time but it usually records the last period.

Are you sure Video calls can be recorded with that button? Face time needs the internal record button.

Record the screen on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support (UK)

Make FaceTime calls on iPhone – Apple Support (UK)
