Description by DroidNova Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
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).
