Video Camera Stopping

[Ipaman]

For some reason my video camera just keeps automatically stopping on my s8. Sometimes it stops after a short time and sometimes it let's me record over a minute.

Does anyone know why it keeps doing this? It's frustrating because I make a lot of videos for work.

Thanks

This might be completely irrelevant but similar things happen to me with my phone.

If you have a screen protector on or the screen is dirty it'll register as accidental taps which could be stopping your videos.

I know this happened to me a few times in the camera, music app and even YouTube pausing constantly it drive me nuts lol

If this isn't the problem I am sorry

I do have a screen protector. I'd hate to remove it and it not be the problem but it might be worth the try. Thanks for the tip.

I ended up doing a factory reset and it appears to have solved the issue.

glad to hear that it solved it without removing the screen protector. that's a real pain taking it off cause you pretty much have to buy a new one after (in my life anyways lmao I always mess them up taking them off)
