Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for video recording, an apparatus for video recording, and a terminal device. The method can be applied to a first terminal. The first terminal can be configured to play a live video of a second terminal when the second terminal is on live. The method can include: obtaining a user identifier of a target audience logging into the first terminal; obtaining voice data of an anchor in the live video within a time period in response to detecting a first event, wherein the time period is after a current time point; and generating a video through screen recording based on the user identifier and the voice data.
