Video Recording in the cloud

How can I record videos directly to any cloud or iCloud directly from my phone in the live? It is necessary for protection, so that in case the phone is taken away, there is access to the video online.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

Salutations to you biglight2, 


iCloud is a syncing service. What that means is when you record a video on your iPhone using the Camera app, as long as Photos is enabled in Settings > your name > iCloud > Photos then the video will sync with iCloud. 


It will then be available on any device that uses the same Apple ID as your iPhone and has iCloud Photos enabled. If the video is edited on any of the devices, it will be reflected on all devices. Similarly, if the video is deleted from one of the devices it will be deleted from iCloud and all devices.

Thanks.

biglight2,


Once a video is recorded and saved on the iPhone, it will automatically be uploaded to iCloud if the option is selected in Settings > Photos. It will vary on your Internet connection with how long the upload might take.


If you need another solution, you might find one that suits your needs in the App Store: Download apps and games on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Take care.

biglight2,


As we mentioned in our last reply, iCloud is not a live recording system. It's a syncing service.

In other words, you are not able to do what you are asking for with iCloud.


If you make a recording in another app, such as the Camera or Voice Memos, you'll need a Wi-Fi or cellular data connection, plus a connection to power to upload to iCloud.
