Capture video

A decision block that starts a Camera app and lets the user record a video.

The fiber will pause until the Camera app finish recording or the timeout expired.

If you want to record a video without user interaction, use the Video record block instead.

The destination path can be set to an existing or new file, or to a directory where the file will be placed with an automatic name. The path to the actual video image file saved is assigned to the video file variable.
