Esp32 cam via bluetooth

Can we program ESP32 cam for streaming video via Bluetooth?

I'm not sure about if you, as in we, can program an ESP32CAM to do BT but I am sure I could. What happens when you try?

You can get some ideas from here: ESP32CAM | BLUETOOTH CLASSIC | FLUTTER - TWO-WAY Serial BT Communication (ft. uint8_t* buffer)🖼️ - YouTube

I tried to stream video but currently, only I can share photos

In this video he is only sharing photos

The ESP32CAm can do 4 or 5 shots per second.

it's good can you please share with me how I can?

this is my code to ftp stuff from the esp32cam.

Just change the code to use instead of WiFi/FTP.

ok thanks, I will try to change code. But I think I have to change many things
