iPhone video recording interrupted by incoming calls

I'm using an iPhone 16 Pro Max with iOS 26.1

When using the camera and/or screen capture to record a video, if someone calls my phone # it shuts down the recording.

I have turned on DND and not allowed any People or Apps, Silenced Notifications Always, and set the Phone app to to turn off all notifications, Silence all unknown callers.

If I am not recording, I get no notification and the call goes straight to VM.

However if I am recording a video, I get a notifcition and the recording is halted.

Anyone have any idea if I keep recording without being interrupted by phone calls. BTW - I can not use Airplay mode because I need to record web pages live, and/or do live streaming.

Please look at your settings...

Repeated Calls: If someone calls you twice within three minutes, the second call isn't silenced.

Please see the pic below which is self-explanatory

You have allowed certain notifications to bypass Do Not Disturb. By default, phone calls, text messages, and FaceTime calls will still ring or vibrate when Do Not Disturb is on. However, you can also allow other notifications to bypass Do Not Disturb by going to Settings > Focus> Do Not Disturb > Allow Notifications and selecting the apps and contacts that you want to be able to notify you even when Do Not Disturb is turned on.
You have enabled System Haptics. System Haptics provides haptic feedback for certain actions, such as when you touch and hold an app icon or scroll through a list. Even if Do Not Disturb is on, your iPhone will still vibrate for System Haptics if you have enabled it. To disable System Haptics, go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics and turn off System Haptics.

Thanks for the info SravanKrA.

I have disabled Repeated Calls.

I did not have Haptics turned off. I turned them off this AM and tested again.

It is not a repeated call issue, as I am testing live using my Google Voice # on my computer, while in record mode on my iPhone.

Even though the phone does not ring and I do not get any notification, or Haptic, the recording was stopped.

Any other ideas to test would be very helpful.
