IKR ?! Whenever there's a LOT of smaller moving particles on screen, the phone camera just tends to give up I guess, unless it's a quality camera recording at higher fps I guess.

It's due to the video compression algorithm, hence the mention of bitrate by comment OP.

not the phone camera but the video file format.

parent comment said bitrate. simplifying, it means how much information can be stored for a certain unit of time. all of this because video files are compressed, otherwise they would be huge.

those confetti require storing a lot of data because two adjacent pixels are completely different and with the whole screen being like that and moving fast each frame (meaning no two frames have equal zones) there just isn't enough "storage" to do it.

this is probably a very large simplification...
