Failed to record video

[Shri-Harini-Ramesh-99]

While recording video with IMU recording, the error message "Failed to record video" appears on the screen. What causes this to happen?

Thanks for the feedback. This happens when the app cannot start a video recorder, which can happen for various reasons. We can investigate the issue if you share the logs produced by the app when this happens (using Android Studio or Logcat, for example).

Note that latest OpenCamera records video just fine.
