Description

Expected behavior

Taking a video should result in adding the recorded video to the post.

Actual behavior

Taking a video should result in returning to My Site. It's also the same in the media browser.

Steps to reproduce the behavior
  1. Delete existing WordPress app installs and re-install.
  2. After logging in, create a new post.
  3. Add a Video block.
  4. Tap “Take a Video.”
  5. Tap “While using the app” when prompted for permissions.
  6. Record a video.
  7. Tap “OK”

Start by reproducing the issue in a new post with a Video block, using “Take a Video” on a Pixel 4 emulator running Android 12; also check the media browser path. Done means recording and confirming the video is added to the post instead of returning to My Site.
