I'm not stating this with full confidence but support may depend on the underlying Camera application on the device. We utilise the Intent system, as recommended by Android to avoid declaring privacy "dangerous" permissions. This allows us to delegate the task to to the user's preferred application which already contains the aforementioned permissions. User may see an app list to select from if they have more than 1 app capable and no preferred configuration. Generally we delegate the task, the Camera application opens up, and the user uses the application to snap the picture or whatever, and the application provides the data back in some fashion, generally providing an URL to a locally saved file that the application can use. But the drawback of this intent system is different applications have different UI, different settings and all of this is generally not configurable. So it is possible that support for recording video does exist, but is simply not exposed by the Camera application that the device is using. Again, not stating this with full confidence, but there have been similar issues observed in the past, e.g. Android's [allowEdit](https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera#cameraoptions-errata-) quirk. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
