What can you say to a child not to “videotape”?

In a conversation I just had I used the word “videotape” to mean recording a video on a mobile phone. “It occurs to me that this is probably not the word youngsters use today, but I couldn’t think of a suitable alternative (other than “record,” which seems too formal to me).

What are the different answers I can’t find on Google?
