@VladislavAntonyuk I believe you're using the old Camera2 APi, you should use the CameraX API instead, it will be simpler and it's newer

I see we reference a NuGet for camera 2, that is why I used this implementation. According to Google camera 2 is not obsolete, but allows you to have a full control of the camera. CameraX just a convenient way to work with camera api. I will update to CameraX.

Thanks Vlad!!

I updated ICameraView to include the following API:

Task StartVideoRecording(CancellationToken token = default);

This provides an easy path for developers who do not need to provide us a custom Stream.

The developer will then retrieve their video recording Stream from StopVideoRecording:

Stream videoRecordingStream = await StopVideoRecording(CancellationToken.None);
