EnglishWhat Is Camuzo and What Does It Do?
Updated
Camuzo is an iPhone camera app built around one specific problem: the default iPhone Camera stops your music when you start recording video. Camuzo keeps audio from other apps playing while you film, so dancing, lip-syncing, and vlogs stay in rhythm. It's free to use, with a Pro tier that adds 4K, custom watermarks, and unlimited recording length.
The core feature: music keeps playing
When you open the normal iPhone camera and hit record, your song stops. Open Camuzo instead and it keeps going. You start a song or podcast in any app, switch to Camuzo, and tap record — the audio continues for the whole take.
The mechanism, as Camuzo explains it: the default iPhone Camera can interrupt audio when it turns on the microphone for video. Camuzo uses an audio session that lets other apps keep playing, so your music continues while you record.
What it does not do
This is the part worth reading carefully, because it's easy to assume otherwise:
- Camuzo does not capture the audio streaming inside your music, podcast, or video apps.
- It does not pause or take over those other apps.
- If the sound comes from your speaker, your microphone may pick it up — the same way any video recording would.
In other words, Camuzo keeps your music playing during the shoot; it doesn't bake that music into the video file. If you need the song embedded in the clip, you'd still add it in editing afterward. Camuzo is upfront about this rather than overpromising.
Camera and editing features
Beyond the audio behavior, Camuzo is positioned as a real camera app you can run one-handed:
| Feature | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| Lenses | Ultra wide, wide, and telephoto when your device supports them |
| Zoom & focus | Smooth zoom, tap to focus |
| Resolution | Up to 4K (Pro) |
| Trimming | A timeline with frame thumbnails to cut start and end before saving |
| Watermark | Your name, handle, or logo — choose position, font, and layout, or turn it off |
| Sharing | Send the finished clip to other apps without leaving Camuzo |
| Speed | Opens instantly, described as native-feeling with no learning curve |
Free vs. Pro
Camuzo is free to use. Pro unlocks the higher-end options:
| Plan | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Core recording with music playing |
| Weekly | $3.99/week | — |
| Yearly | $24.99/year | Listed as best value; includes a 7-day free trial |
| Lifetime | $39.99 | One-time payment |
Pro adds 4K recording, custom watermarks (or no watermark), and unlimited recording length. The page doesn't state which features are capped on the free tier beyond those three, so treat the free plan as the base experience and Pro as the unlock for 4K, watermark control, and length.
Who it's for
Camuzo fits a narrow, specific use case rather than replacing your camera app entirely:
- Dancers and lip-sync creators who need the track playing to stay on beat.
- Vloggers who want background music or a podcast running while they talk to camera.
- Anyone who has been annoyed by their song cutting out the moment they hit record.
If you don't record with sound playing, the main draw disappears — the default camera already handles stills and standard video fine.
Quick answers
Why does my iPhone stop my music when I record video? The default camera can interrupt audio when it activates the microphone for video. Camuzo uses an audio session that lets other apps keep playing.
How do I record video while music keeps playing? Start a song or podcast in any app, open Camuzo, and tap record. The audio continues the whole time you film.
Does Camuzo add the music into the video file? No. It keeps your music playing during recording but doesn't capture the streaming audio from other apps.
