With the native camera app, you pause a playing video by tapping the screen and then selecting the pause button. Now if you're trying to "pause" a video while recording, you can't. You can only stop the video. Likewise with switching from the rear to the front camera, you must first stop the recording.

How do you pause a video when you are watching a video or when you are recording a video?

While you watching a video, tap the screen and then tap the Pause button. You cannot pause a video while you are recording a video. You can only stop it.

You cannot switch between the cameras while recording a video. You have to stop the video, switch the camera, and start a new video.
