About 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.
