All videos should show their first frame as a thumbnail. You can also upload a custom thumbnail if needed on the medias edit page.

If it's a video recorded by iOS with MOV format there are no thumbnail until you play the video. That's why I asked.

Our users will mainly use video uploads via iPhone camera like a native app.

That's also why I asked about getUserMedia if it could replace file input :-)

I'm guessing you want to support users directly streaming video to an upload?

Exactly ;-)

That would probably be fixed by the below feature then to automate thumbnail capture.

That's not supported at this time, but have added a feature ticket to look into it further. Seams easy enough to support for a future release, but it won't be anytime soon as I need to finish CB Activity 6.0.0.

You're welcome to try implementing it yourself in the meantime. Looks like it might just be a matter of adding an attribute to the file input and requesting permissions, but unsure if that'll work with CB Gallery ajax upload method.

I tried to simply replace lines 218 and 219 in activity_new.php like this
Code:
//. '<strong><span class="fa fa-upload"></span> ' . CBTxt::T( 'Click or Drag & Drop to Upload' ) . '</strong>' //. '<input type="file" name="upload" class="galleryShareUpload hidden" multiple />' . . '<strong><span class="fad fa-camera fa-5x mb-1"></span> <br>' . CBTxt::T( 'Click or Drag & Drop to Upload' ) . '</strong>' . . '<input type="file" name="upload" class="galleryShareUpload hidden" multiple accept="video/image/*" capture>'

and this seems to work perfectly well :-)
On desktops it still show the file explorer to add files, and on smartphones it fires directly the camera for photos or videos, then the photo/video is nicely uploaded and displayed.

Now if I could replace these lines with an auto action ?? ;-)
For now I simply wrote a new template file

You might be able to use gallery_onAfterItemsNew trigger to output some JS to add that attribute to galleryShareUpload.

For the official implementation I'll probably have a separate button for captures as a user might not want to upload a capture, but upload a file.

Excellent idea as on smartphones there is no choice :-)

Will it be in CB 6 ?

In CB Activity 6.0.0? No, this won't be in CB Activity 6.0.0 as it's an improvement that needs to be made in CB Gallery.
