Echo Spot record video using inbuilt camera - Custom skill

Question

I have a requirement to record video using Amazon device.

Currently, I have the Echo spot device and tried to find some way from which I can open the camera and start recording until I give the command to stop, using the custom skill. But didn't get the success.

What I have gone through till now is:

• Alexa.CameraStreamController Interface By which I can handle the camera and
• Alexa.MediaMetadata Interface to handle recorded videos.

But couldn't find anything useful. Can I use an inbuilt camera to record and then upload to s3 bucket?

I have already developed a skill which is able to start recording on PI device using Amazon Echo device. But this time I need to use an inbuilt camera of Echo spot.

Any help or guidance would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

The video recording feature via the built-in camera is not supported.
