Abstract
A method for an electronic device includes detecting, by one or more processors, the electronic device engaging in a video recording session while electronically in communication with both a companion electronic device operating as a primary display for the electronic device and a smartwatch. In response, the method redirects one or more video recording session controls to a user interface of the smartwatch when user interaction with the one or more video recording session controls at a user interface of the electronic device will at least partially obscure depictions of a subject of the video recording session in one or more video recording session images captured by an image capture device of the electronic device.
