We suggest removing UI control from your form and adding VideoView control instead of with the name VideoView1. Also, add the core class (for example, VideoCaptureCore) with the name of the previously used UI control.

Independent VideoView allows us to add additional UI platforms like UWP, MAUI, Eco, and Avalonia.
