Description

Been using Background Video Recorder for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you record video in the background on your phone, even when the screen is off. Pretty solid app if you’re into that kind of thing.

Here’s what you do: you can just tap a button and it’ll start recording video without opening the app. And there’s also a way to trim the videos and compress them to save storage. And you can use the front or back camera – took me a while to figure that out but it’s useful.

Look, if you’re into secret recording or just want an easy way to capture stuff in the background, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the free version has some annoying ads – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out.

Editor Opinion

So here's my honest take on Background Video Recorder. I've tested a bunch of video recording apps and this one's pretty good. The core feature of recording in the background works really well, and I like that you can switch between cameras. The video quality is decent too. But the ads in the free version can get old after a while, and the video compression doesn't always work great. Overall though, it's a solid option if you need to record stuff secretly or just in the background.
