# Feature Request ## Motivation Behind Feature <!-- Why should this feature be implemented? What problem does it solve? --> Currently to build an app that can take pictures and record video, a user has to use a camera specific plugin such as this one and a separate video recording plugin such as @awesome-cordova-plugins/media-capture. Both plugins do not operate in similar fashion when recording and storing media. It would be very convenient and useful to have both picture and video recording capabilities in one plugin and this plugin already has a lot of great configurable options. ## Feature Description <!-- Describe your feature request in detail Please provide any code examples or screenshots of what this feature would look like Are there any drawbacks? Will this break anything for existing users? --> * Add a new method to the `camera` class called `getVideo(successCallback, errorCallback, options)` that accepts similar parameters to the `getPicture` method including the CameraOptions object. * Allow video to be stored to temporary app storage using the `saveToPhotoAlbum` boolean option. * Potentially extend the CameraOptions interface for video specific options if necessary. ## Alternatives or Workarounds <!-- Describe alternatives or workarounds you are currently using Are there ways to do this with existing functionality? --> Two plugins are required at this time to have both picture and video recording functionality (@awesome-cordova-plugins/camera and @awesome-cordova-plugins/media-capture for example). This camera plugin gives great options for recording and storing pictures, particularly allowing the developer to save the image file to temporary app storage with the `saveToPhotoAlbum` camera option. The media-capture plugin is an option for recording video but it lacks a few of the useful features that the camera plugin offers. Namely it has less options and doesn't allow the user to store the video file anywhere other than the photo gallery. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
