Is there any phone app that purposely records video in the background without turning on the screen? I wouldn't care as much if people holding up their phones weren't shining back at me. I assume this is possible with audio, though concert audio is usually way too loud to record on a phone without additional equipment.

I believe this may not even be possible due to privacy issues, hidden cameras / recording without consent is enough of a problem already!
