Conceptually I can understand that Termux cant take a photo or video from a camera device because it doesnt have access to the camera drivers that Android has…

…except that the Termux API does allow you to take a photo. So why is video off limits?

    Yeah, I mean it’s not like they’re calling native Android functions there (in proceedWithOpenCamera), it looks like the CameraDevice object might offer a lot more capture modes that just aren’t being tapped into. Is it just a programming issue, or does Android only offer Photo contexts but not Video ones, or…?
