Capturing video

[lostresosostedyIII (Server)]

I want to make it so when you click a camera button you record a video which is then saved. I’ve alreday got the button part, but not the recording part. Here’s my code;

local params = {}

local function Test_no_1(contentId)
	print(contentId)
end

local VideoCaptureService = game:GetService("CaptureService")  

if VideoCaptureService then
	local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
		VideoCaptureService:StartVideoCaptureAsync(Test_no_1, params)  
	end)

	if not success then
		warn(errorMessage)  
	else
		print("Video start")  
		wait(5)
		VideoCaptureService:StopVideoCapture()
	end
end  

Thank you!

what’s the issue you’re having? StartVideoCaptureAsync returns Enum.VideoCaptureResult, perhaps try printing errorMessage wherever you’re printing video start and check what result you’re getting.

When doing that I just get a nil.

and what is the issue you’re having? on what part are you getting stuck

[lostresosostedyIII (Server)]

On recording the video.

oh yeah you are getting nil because you have to return the result from StartVideoCaptureAsync()
change

	local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
		VideoCaptureService:StartVideoCaptureAsync(Test_no_1, params)  
	end)

to

	local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
		return VideoCaptureService:StartVideoCaptureAsync(Test_no_1, params)  
	end)

then print errorMessage

Okay, now it prints ‘Enum.VideoCaptureResult.NoDeviceSupport’.

Well seems like your device doesn’t support video captures, since roblox hasn’t documented a lot about this service yet, i assume it’s still under development, and not fully working yet. However you can try publishing your game and trying on a different device, maybe that works.
