With SwiftUI

        VStack {
            CameraPickerView(cameraSessionDelegate: viewModel,
                             captureMode: .video,
                             cameraDirection: .front,
                             captureResolution: .fullHd,
                             videoFilter: .removeBackground) { controller in
                cameraController = controller
            }
            
            Circle()
                .fill(.red)
                .frame(width: 70, height: 70)
                .onTapGesture {
                    cameraController.recordVideoTapped()
                }
        }

With UIKit

    func setupCamera() {
        let cameraViewController = CameraViewController(captureMode: .photo,
                                                        cameraDirection: .back,
                                                        captureResolution: .uhd4K, 
                                                        videoFilter: .none,
                                                        delegate: self)
        self.cameraController = cameraViewController
        addChild(cameraViewController)
        cameraViewController.view.frame = view.frame
        view.addSubview(cameraViewController.view)
        cameraViewController.didMove(toParent: self)
    }

Callbacks

Your object needs to conforms CameraSessionDelegate

extension DemoCameraView: CameraSessionDelegate {
    
    func isReadyToRecord() {
        self.state = .readyToRecord
    }
    
    func didStartRecording() {
        self.state = .recording
    }
    
    // Video
    func didCapture(videoURL: URL) {
        self.state = .recorded
        self.videoUrl = videoURL
        presentPreview = true
    }
    
    // Photo
    func didCapture(imageData: Data) {
        self.state = .recorded
        self.photoData = imageData
        presentPreview = true
    }
    
    func failed(withError error: any Error) {
        self.state = .failed
        self.errorMessage = error.localizedDescription
    }
}
