I have Canon EOS 200D camera. I know how to toggle the grid lines on the LCD screen for taking still photographs. However, for shooting videos, the grid lines only remain before I hit the record button. They disappear when the video is being recorded. Any way to keep the gridlines switched on during the video recording progress?

I am a beginner and the grid lines helps me a lot in order to check alignment and composition.

No, there is no way to do that. I use an erasable marker with a ruler to draw or a sticky thread for occasional "serious" videos.
