## 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.
