Research direction
Start with the Camera API reference linked in the issue, then inspect the existing Android and iOS camera implementations. Trace how current camera capabilities are exposed and identify the platform-specific entry points for video capture. Done means the API can capture and save video on both Android and iOS, with coverage for the supported behavior.
