Detailed Description¶

The QMediaCaptureSession is the central class that manages capturing of media on the local device.

You can connect a camera and a microphone to QMediaCaptureSession using setCamera() and setAudioInput() . A preview of the captured media can be seen by setting a QVideoSink of QVideoWidget using setVideoOutput() and heard by routing the audio to an output device using setAudioOutput() .

You can capture still images from a camera by setting a QImageCapture object on the capture session, and record audio/video using a QMediaRecorder .
