💡Pro Tip:

Video recording consumes storage space quickly. Before attempting to record, verify you have adequate free storage—most devices require at least 1GB available for smooth recording. If you're running low on storage, delete unnecessary files or transfer existing videos to cloud storage before attempting to record. Insufficient storage is the most common cause of video recording failures.

Common Issues and Fixes

Recording stops immediately after starting: Check available storage space. If low, free up space and try again.
Video recorded but won't play: The file may be corrupted. Try recording in a different resolution or format.
Audio not recording with video: Check microphone permissions and ensure the microphone isn't blocked. Clean the microphone port if needed.
Video appears choppy or freezes: Close background apps consuming resources. Restart your device and try recording again.
Recording button doesn't appear in camera app: Switch from photo mode to video mode. Some camera modes don't support recording.
