Android Video Capture - MediaPicker.Default.CaptureVideoAsync is saving recorded videos to the Android Gallery

[devon1146]

Description

Hello,

The dotnet 8 version of Maui is saving recorded videos on Android devices to the Gallery. I do not believe this behaviour is intentional, and does not occur on iOS.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new MAUI project
2. Call "MediaPicker.Default.CaptureVideoAsync(new());" at some point during your code in order to record a video.
3. Run this on Android - the video you capture will be saved to the device's gallery.

It would be great if this was an option - potentially as a setting in your MediaPickerOptions().

Thank you!

Tracking this one - I have numerous customers using our MAUI app that are upset about this behaviour. Would love to be able to communicate a deliverable timeline on the fix.
