Add a way to capture videos

[imhoffd]

Feature Request

Plugin

Camera

Description

The Camera plugin has a way to take photos, but not videos.

Platform(s)

• Android
• iOS
• Web

Preferred Solution

Add a getVideo() method to the Camera plugin.

Alternative Solution

It is possible to capture videos using <input> (see this article). But, it would still be nice to have a programmatic way.

Additional Context

A request was also made for the Media plugin: capacitor-community/media#9

I would love to have this feature as part of the Capacitor Camera API!

It feels nasty to add both cordova-plugin-camera (to select a video from the library) and cordova-plugin-media-capture (to capture a new video) to a Capacitor project.
