+### Consuming image streams on Android
+
+Until https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/145961 is resolved, the most recent version of the camera package doesn't support the required image formats. To make things work, manually add the legacy plugin via the instructions from https://pub.dev/packages/camera_android.
