How to Record Front and Back Cameras at the Same Time on iPhone
DualCam records your front and back cameras simultaneously into one picture-in-picture video — your face and the world in front of you together. Open the app, hit record, and save; no camera switching and no editing afterward.
Steps
- Open DualCam.
- Tap record — both the front and back cameras start capturing together.
- Speak to your face-facing camera while it films the scene in front of you.
- Stop recording to see an instant preview.
- Save — the composed picture-in-picture video goes to your Photo Library.
Why it works this way
The moment you want to be in your video and show what’s in front of you, a normal camera forces a choice: your face or the scene. DualCam removes the choice by running both cameras at once and composing them live, so there’s no switching mid-shot and nothing to stitch together afterward — the shareable video exists the instant you stop recording.
Tips & edge cases
- Frame both cameras before you hit record — glance at the preview so your face and the scene are each well-positioned.
- Mind your audio — narrate clearly since the mic is capturing your voice over the scene.
- Preview first, then save so you only keep the takes you want.
FAQ
Can iPhone really record both cameras at once? Yes. DualCam captures the front and back cameras simultaneously and composes them into a single picture-in-picture video.
Do I have to edit the two videos together afterward? No. The picture-in-picture is composed as you record, so the saved video is ready to share immediately.
Where does the finished video go? Straight to your Photo Library once you save it.
