@rachelwolfe Probably best if you create your own thread in the bug forum then. They have fixed issues with the video station in the last patch (?) and this thread is from 2019.
Also the OP isn't talking about community lots (someone else was but they probably should have made their own thread at the time)
Can't say if that's on purpose or not but if you make a bug report on this specifically, EA can let us know if it's by design.
Since the Sim doesn't own the video station I'm leaning towards a design choice though although I think you shouldn't be able to record in the first place if that was the case.
EDIT
.. for me the video actually appears in the video station inventory now that I also tested this. Am I still misunderstanding this ?
Thanks a lot for this, Crinrict! Could you give me some specifics about the time that it worked for you? What kind of community lot were you on? Because when I saw your screenshot, I went and tested it on a retail lot (not owned) and I no longer even have the "Open" option when I click on the video station (I tried to get a screenshot, but the screenshot edited out the UI). Admittedly, the test I just ran was after the patch upload, so the patch may have changed the terms on this completely. (Just FYI, mods were still disabled when I ran the test).
