Background Video Audio record

Turn your phone into a background video recorder and voice recorder. Tap REC, lock the screen or switch apps, and BG Recorder keeps recording until you stop it.

Start from a home-screen widget, a Quick Settings tile, a floating button or a schedule. A notification with a live timer and Pause/Stop buttons stays on screen the whole time.

WHY BG RECORDER
✔ No ads
✔ No account
✔ No internet permission: your recordings never leave your phone
✔ Video and voice in one app
✔ Works on phones, tablets, foldables and Chromebooks

Great for lectures, meetings, interviews, voice notes, rehearsals, driving (dash cam), pets and home, and any time you need to keep recording while you use your phone.

USE RESPONSIBLY: Recording people without their consent may be illegal where you live. Android always shows a notification and a privacy indicator while the camera or microphone is in use. BG Recorder never hides them.
