Pause and resume recording with Expo Camera

[kinzito17]

Please provide the following:

1. “expo-camera”: “^11.2.2”,
2. Platforms: Android, iOS

Hi all I am building a react native component that allows the user to record video. I am being asked to allow the user to pause the recording and resume as they’d like. I found a few outdated questions around this with no solutions.

Is it possible to pause and resume while recording video? If not is there a workaround?

Thank you all for any help!

Hi, were you able to find the solution to this question. I have tried pausePreview() but it doesnt pause the recording.

Hi @kinzito17 and @blessingsnthara

Hi @moh456 React Native Vision Camera apparently supports this: It also comes with an Expo Config Plugin, so you should be able to use it in an Expo managed app as long as you build with EAS Build. (Not expo build) And instead of Expo Go you can build a dev client.
