Opens the device camera, allowing the user to record video.
Once the recording is completed by the user, the first output is triggered.
If the user cancels the recording, the second output is triggered.
If there is an error, the third output is triggered.
The recorded video is stored in a temporary directory with an autogenerated unique identifier for its filename. If you need to save the video file in a persistent way, use the Move file flow function to move it to the user files directory.
