Capturing evidence is vital to completing Investigations in Phasmophobia, which is where the ability to record video comes in handy.
Introduced in Phasmophobia’s Chronicle update on June 24, videos are one of three media types that are collected in an Investigation alongside photos and sounds.
Previously, Video Cameras in Phasmophobia were only really useful for finding Ghost Orbs, but now they are a crucial tool for solving paranormal activities. We’ve got everything you need to know here.
How to Record Video in Phasmophobia
To record video, make sure to bring a Video Camera with you on your Investigation. This is a standard piece of equipment and should automatically be in your van for any Investigation, but you can bring more than one to help.
