Quick! Something particularly exciting has happened! And, for some reason, there's a reporter on the scene, complete with cameraman! At a particularly exciting moment, the reporter has got to turn to the camera and say something to the effect of "Are We Getting This" The answer is usually yes, but it's anyone's guess as to whether the camera will survive the episode.
There is always the possibility that the "reporter" type person will see the entire event happen and conclude before they can ask this important question. In these cases, the question becomes more like: "Did we/you get that?" "Did somebody record that?" They may even beg: "Please tell me somebody got that on video." The results are generally similar.
It also applies to regular bystanders who seek to record the incident for social media views; very easy since The New '10s as almost everyone carries a cellphone with a camera. In that case, and if the event is humiliating for the characters, then it leads to Instant Humiliation: Just Add YouTube!
When the situation is particularly perilous, then the people trying to videotape it are either Intrepid Reporters or Social Media Before Reason hounds.
Might prompt Film the Hand and Turn Off the Camera reactions from the characters involved. Contrast You Just Ruined the Shot, when a hero intervenes in a crime or accident only to learn it was just filming a scene for a movie.

Lifepod: When Parker has to have his leg amputated, he insists that Clara record it on her video camera because he wants others to know what he endured. Later when the footage is reviewed, someone notices that the supposedly blind member of their group dodged a splint that came flying in his direction while Parker was thrashing about.

Die Hard:
Die Hard: A reporter asks his cameraman this twice. First after a massive explosion inside Nakatomi Plaza, and then sarcastically after being punched in the face by Holly Gennero.
Die Hard 2: Inverted when the cameraman, seeing Holly and John finally getting together and starting to kiss, remarks that he is getting it to the news reporter. She then covers the camera, deliberately ruining the shot.

Miraculous Ladybug: Alya Césaire is the living embodiment of this trope. Since she's running an amateur news blog, Alya is reporter and camerawoman at the same time, so she doesn't spell the trope out but has a knee-jerk reaction of go recording Akuma attacks. It's often at the cost of personal safety, even if she learns to be less reckless with time. In "The Pharaoh", she approaches the Monster of the Week to interview him for her viewer's sake. She's also very willing to continue her livestream and excitedly comments on the facts even as she's being kidnapped by the Akuma to be sacrificed.

Dragon Ball:
Dragon Ball: In the very first tournament arc, the announcer actually asks Krillin and Jackie Chun to redo one part of their fight at a slower pace because they were going so fast nobody could see it. Chun consents, as it's for television, but asserts that this he won't do it again, so they'd better pay attention.

Schlock Mercenary has this show up ("Are you getting all this?" "Are you kidding?"); When you have a crisis where a character earns the name "Longshoreman Of The Apocalypse", you had better hope someone is filming.

Saturday Night Live:
A Running Gag on the recurring "Boston Teens" skit involved someone making an innuendo, at which point Sully (one of the teens in question) would turn to the camera and say, "Tommy (the unseen teen holding the recorder), please tell me you got that!"
In one of the Celebrity Jeopardy! sketches, Alex Trebek has this response to a Final Jeopardy! response that could actually be interpreted as correct. ("Where are you?" "Indoors.")

Feralnette AU: Like in canon, Alya embodies this trope's spirit to a tee. The problem, as Felix points out, is that she ends up being a hindrance to Ladybug—the hero she claims to admire so much and whom she wants to impress—in her reckless attempts to get footage. Some scenes later, Felix is shocked that Alya is filming his hypothesis on why White Knight's attack didn't work on Marc without his express consent. She answers that he unwittingly did a good recap for her viewers.
