If you grew up with camcorders, you could use that verb for general video recording, even with your phone
Perhaps this is a regional difference then. I did grow up with camcorders (and used them extensively during university) but I'd never use "tape" as a verb for filming something with them.
To me "taping" refers to using a VCR or audio cassette to capture something from TV or radio. I suppose one might say "I've got tickets to a taping of (TV show)" but that feels a bit outside the scope here.
Language is a funny thing!
Never heard "taped in front of a live studio audience"?
I've only ever heard "recorded in front of a live studio audience". I see no reason one wouldn't say "taped" in that context, but I don't recall ever hearing it!
