How to turn off notifications when recording Oppo screen

When you record a screen video, the notification will still appear on the screen, accidentally revealing your private information and affecting the video recording process. If you use an Oppo phone with Android 16 installed and have upgraded to ColorOS 16, you can turn off notifications when recording the screen and taking screenshots. Below are instructions for turning off screen recording notifications on Oppo.
