About APK downloads
An APK is the install file for an Android app. Sites that offer “background video recorder APK” files copy them from Google Play, and anyone can alter a copy before re-uploading it. We do not operate or check any of those sites. Installing from Google Play is the only way to be sure the file is the one we built, and to receive updates and Play Protect scanning.
“Mod”, “pro” and “premium unlocked” APKs
A modified camera app is one of the riskier things to install: it already holds camera and microphone permission, so added code can record or upload without you knowing. Every recording feature in XSCamera is already free, so a mod gains you nothing except no ads, at the cost of that risk.
Old versions
Google Play automatically serves the newest version that works on your Android release, back to Android 7.0. Older builds lack fixes for newer Android versions, where background camera rules changed several times, so they tend to stop recording early. If a new version causes a problem on your phone, tell us through the Play listing and we will look at it.
iPhone, PC and other stores
XSCamera is published only on Google Play, for Android. There is no iOS, Windows or Mac version. See iPhone and PC options.
After installing
- Allow camera access
And the microphone if you want sound. - Set battery to Unrestricted
So Android does not stop long recordings. - Tap Start Camera
Then turn off the screen. Full guide.
