   > 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.
