Primary Use Cases

It improves the developer experience in several key ways.

  • Handle the entire process of capturing and storing so that the developer focus more on the coding part

  • Giving more control over the camera by changing some parameters, even control over orientation

  • Support multiple captures of photos and video in a single time

Ease of use

It allows you to focus on the task you need to get done instead of managing device-specific nuances. Most common camera use cases are supported:

  • Image Capture: Save the Image

  • Video Capture: Save video and audio
