Description

Hey there, as far as I can see this plugin only supports taking pictures, not videos. I know there are some community plugins to achieve this, however I always prefer using official plugins, as I can be sure they are well maintained.

Video recording is one very basic functionality of the device camera, therefore I think the official camera plugin should support this.

If there are any reasons against this please let me know, it just came to my mind comparing the official Flutter camera plugin with this one.
