    Hi there ​@Blissful_thinkcb01 

    Thank you for reporting this issue. We're sorry you're experiencing a black screen when trying to record video in Adobe Express.

    To help us troubleshoot further, could you share a few details?

    1. Device & OS: What device are you using, and what version of Android/iOS is it running?

    2. App version: Which version of Adobe Express do you have installed? (You can find this in the app's Settings.)

    3. Steps to reproduce: Are you tapping the record button from within a project, or from the home screen gallery?

    4. Permissions: Have you confirmed that Adobe Express has camera and microphone permissions enabled in your device settings?

    In the meantime, here are a few things you can try:

    • Force close and reopen the Adobe Express app.

    • Clear the app cache (Settings > Apps > Adobe Express > Storage > Clear Cache).

    • Update the app to the latest version from the App Store or Google Play.

    • Restart your device after clearing the cache.

    We appreciate your patience and will keep you posted,

    Rose

    The record a video button in Galleries is showing a black screen and not working. I can record a video in the editor fine though - just not in Galleries.
