Read full description
Off Screen Video Recorder – the background video recorder that keeps recording with the screen off Off Screen Recorder is a free background video recorder app. Start recording, lock your phone or switch to another app, and the video keeps recording in the background. Use your phone for calls, messages and browsing while the background camera does its job, and save battery by recording with the screen off. A notification stays visible during every recording, and a consent notice appears before your first recording. 🎥 BACKGROUND VIDEO RECORDER – RECORD VIDEO WITH SCREEN OFF • Record video and audio with the screen off or the app minimized • Front or back camera, 480p, 720p or 1080p video quality • Pause and resume without ending the video • Control recording from the notification bar: pause, switch camera, stop • Start or stop in one tap from the Quick Settings tile or the app-icon shortcut ⚡ NEW FEATURES IN THIS VERSION • Instant GPS location video stamp: the address and coordinates are drawn live while you record, so there is no waiting afterwards • Faster merge videos: clips with the same format are joined without re-encoding, which is much quicker and keeps the original quality • Better video merger: cancel a merge from its notification, with part numbers and video names shown in merge order • Live camera controls: brightness, zoom, torch and mute while recording • Volume-key camera switch: change between front and back camera with the volume buttons, even with the screen off. Toggle it from the live controls • Fingerprint or PIN app lock to keep your videos private • Auto-delete for old recordings, a low-storage warning and an optional copy saved to your Gallery 📍 GPS LOCATION VIDEO STAMP Add your current address and GPS coordinates to your video. A geotagged video is useful for site inspections, deliveries, travel logs, field reports and proof of location. 🎞️ MERGE VIDEOS AND ADD VOICE NOTES Select clips, drag them into order and join them into one video. Add a voice note of up to 60 seconds, then mix it with the original audio or replace it. 📁 RECORDINGS MANAGER • Built-in video player, share and delete • Save as one file or in segments of 1–240 minutes • Optional auto-stop timer 💎 PREMIUM – 4K VIDEO RECORDER, NO LIMITS • Unlimited recording length (free plan: 5 minutes per recording) • 4K and 60 fps recording with video stabilization • Auto-stop timer, segmented recording and auto-delete • GPS stamp and merge videos without ads • No ads anywhere in the app BEST FOR Dash cam style recording, lectures and meetings (with consent), interviews, field work, travel vlogs, workshop or home monitoring, and documenting events.
