OnePlus: Record Video with the Camera App

Switching from photo to video mode on your OnePlus camera looks simple, but many people miss the pause control that sits right next to the shutter button once recording starts. Without knowing where it is, you risk stopping a clip too early or losing a moment you cannot repeat. The video toolbar behaves differently from photo mode, and that catches people off guard.

Record a Video with the Camera App auf OnePlus

Video capture on OnePlus phones runs through the same camera app used for photos, but the on-screen controls change once you switch over.

Open the Camera app and swipe over to Choose Video. The shutter button changes function immediately: instead of taking a photo, tapping it now starts a recording. This is where many people lose track, since the icon looks familiar but works differently now.

The full control sequence is: Open the Camera appChoose VideoTap on the shutter release to start recordingTap on Pause if desiredTap on the shutter release to stop recording.

The pause option appears next to the shutter button once recording begins. It lets you interrupt a clip without ending the file, which is useful when you need to wait out a passing distraction. Tapping the shutter button again after pausing resumes the same recording rather than creating a new one.

Ending a clip works the same way as stopping it: tap the shutter button once more. If recording stops on its own before you tap anything, check available storage or an active battery-saving feature, since both can cut off long video sessions.

Frequently asked questions

Pause only interrupts the current clip so you can resume without creating a new file. To finish the recording completely, tap Tap on the shutter release to stop recording instead of leaving it paused.
