I hope that in a little while we get an actual video like we got when the whole thing was descending onto the ground. I am not expecting much from Ingenuity but I would be very disappointed if we didn’t see any video from Perseverance. I know doing video requires a lot of power, but I really feel it is justified for something like this. It would become a historic video.

We'll get a full video once they have time to uplink it. Unsurprisingly, you can't stream high-quality video from Mars.

If I recall correctly, Perserverence was recording images at roughly 7hz and will be sending them back over the coming days. I don't think they are compressed as video, since perseverance has pretty wimpy main computers and isn't running FFmpeg like they had for the descent videos, which came from a separate system.
