For more detailed instructions on how to do this, check out the [P4 Next Online Manual](https://zoomcorp.com/manuals/p4next-en/#unique_74)

Note: while the manual doesn't say explicitly, for recording directly to your phone for mobile video, using stereo, not multi-track, is likely more compatible with your phone apps.&#x20;
