Hello ahhyet,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

We want to help you get the most from recording video on your iPhone.

You would want to look into another app for this, as there isn't a default option to switch cameras while recording a video.


See here for recording video with the Camera app:

"Record a video

  1. Open Camera, then select Video mode.
  2. Tap the Record button or press either volume button to start recording. While recording, you can do the following:
    • Press the white Shutter button to snap a still photo.
    • Pinch the screen to zoom in and out.
    • For a more precise zoom on models with Dual and Triple camera systems, touch and hold 1x, then drag the slider to the left.

3. Tap the Record button or press either volume button to stop recording.

By default, video records at 30 frames per second (fps). Depending on your model, you can choose other frame rates and video resolution settings in Settings  > Camera > Record Video. Faster frame rates and higher resolutions result in larger video files."


This Apple Support page has the full details: Record videos with your iPhone camera - Apple Support


This can help you find new apps for your device: Download apps and games on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


We hope this helps understand your best options to record video.

Cheers!
