A video camera, used to capture video footage. Emoji

Objects

A classic camcorder with a side-hinged screen and a lens pointed to the right. It is designed to look like the handheld recording devices that dominated home movies throughout the 1990s and early 2000s.

Usage Context

Used to signal that a person is recording, filming an event, or sharing video content. It often appears alongside 🎥 or 🎬 when someone is posting a clip or announcing a live stream. It is a go-to icon for documenting moments in real-time.

History

This icon was added to the Unicode standard in 2010. It draws its look from the portable shoulder-mounted and handheld tape-based camcorders that were staples of consumer electronics before smartphones rendered dedicated video recorders largely obsolete.
