> You mean captures/stores a video file? You expect that you'll be able to the camera plugin to record a video (instead of selecting an existing one) and the camera plugin currently does not allow that? That's correct. The plugin currently allows for capturing a picture and storing it as an image file as well as selecting image or video files from the device storage, but it would be very nice if it also had the functionality to capture a video and store it as a video file either to the gallery or temporary app storage (using the `saveToPhotoAlbum` boolean option). I admit that I started from the [Ionic plugin docs site](https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/camera) for this Camera plugin and it mentions at the very top of the documentation that the plugin can be used to "Take a photo or capture video" but it seems like this may be a mistake or generalization of what the plugin actually supports in regards to video. I see that the mediaType option allows for choosing the type of media file allowed to be selected and not necessarily which type to capture. However, I believe this would still be incredibly useful functionality to add to the plugin. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
