A medical image recording control apparatus includes a processor, a video source switching instruction circuit, and a video source switching device. The processor detects states of a plurality of devices and determines, from a detection result of the states of the plurality of devices, based on states of two or more devices including at least one of a room light, a surgical light, and a light source apparatus for endoscope included in the plurality of devices, a priority level of at least one video source device among a plurality of video source devices included in the plurality of devices. The video source switching instruction circuit generates a switching instruction signal corresponding to the determined priority level. The video source switching device receives the switching instruction signal, switches a video signal outputted to a video signal corresponding to the switching instruction signal, and outputs the video signal.
