Editor's Review
Background Video Recorder is a video players & editors app from DroidNova. The developer sums it up as: "Record video in background — screen off, lock mode, one-tap controls." It has passed 500K+ installs, and users rate it 4.3 out of 5 across 2.6K ratings. The latest version (2.1) was released on 2026-10-08, so the app is still being actively updated. Good to know: it offers optional in-app purchases and needs about 5 MB of storage.

Description
🎥 Background Video Recorder — Record with Screen Off & While Using Other Apps
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).
