Video capture

Use the VideoCapture API to record videos directly to the file system in the MP4 format. Please note that the VideoCapture API does not work in the Unity Editor.

You must enable the WebCam and Microphone capabilities to use the VideoCapture API. The following example records a 5 second video and saves it to the file system.
