Camera Support

Camera Support

The built-in camera is accessible via FFmpeg's android_camera input device, requiring API level 24+ (our minSdk is already 24 — see Compatibility — so this works out of the box).

Devices with a deprecated camera HAL 1.0 implementation (LEGACY hardware level) aren't supported by the Android NDK Native API this depends on, and therefore aren't supported here either.
