Maybe it's just because of the video resolution you set.

hello, have you solved this problem?

I'm having the same issue with Android 12. It works with Android 13 and Android 11 so it is not the parameter setting issues.

Does anyone know if this issue is only with Android 12 on emulator? What about on Android 12 real device? It might have something to do with permissions.

Hi, you should have handled with permissions before using recorder.

I've had this problem on an Android 12 real device where I set odd number of resolution.
Switching to even number of resolution solved it.

Hi, Thanks for confirming that it works on Android 12 real device. Yes, I do have all the permission granted at begining of my app. I tested on Android 10 and 13 real devices and they work as expected.
