About this app

🎥 Background Video Recorder — Record with Screen Off & While Using Other Apps

Background Video Recorder helps you record videos smoothly even when the app is closed, while using other apps, or when your screen is off / phone is locked (device support may vary). It’s built for reliable recording, easy controls, and powerful storage management — all in one clean app.

This app is designed for legitimate use cases like lectures, interviews, work documentation, field recordings, content capture, and personal memories — with transparent recording behavior (recording runs with a persistent notification when required by Android).

Ratings and reviews

simple to use, light weight, and even the free version is functional. My use case is for a quick first person view in case of an emergency or for fun. The only feature request i'd have is to be able too set what camera to use. lots of smartphones these days, even the cheap ones, have more than one camera and i'd like to use the wide angle lens.

honestly, it's the best of all BG recoding apps, as it gives even 100 minute recordings with super cool features!

This app works well and if you pay the one-off purchase price of £4.99 there are no ads
