Set the video capture format for CameraCaptureUI by setting the CameraCaptureUIPhotoCaptureSettings.Format property to one of the values of this enumeration.

For how-to guidance for using CameraCaptureUI to capture photos and video, see Capture photos and video with Windows built-in camera UI.

Note

You should not specify the webcam or microphone capabilities in your app manifest file if you are using CameraCaptureUI. If you do so, your app will be displayed in the device's camera privacy settings, but even if the user denies camera access to your app, it will not prevent the CameraCaptureUI from capturing media. This is because the Windows built-in camera app is a trusted first-party app that requires the user to initiate photo, audio, and video capture with a button press. Your app may fail Windows Application Certification Kit certification when submitted to the Store if you specify the webcam or microphone capabilities when using CameraCaptureUI.

You must specify the webcam or microphone capabilities in your app manifest file if you are using MediaCapture to capture audio, photos, or video programmatically.
