How it Works:
This ability allows users to take a picture using their deviceās camera through their browser.
The
getUserMedia()function in JavaScript is used to access the deviceās camera and capture an image.Users must give consent through the browser to allow the app access to their camera before taking a picture.
Note:
While testing your app, this functionality may not be available in the testing tab. Open your app in a new browser tab to enable camera access and allow users to give consent.
Use Case:
You want to implement a feature that allows users to take pictures directly through their device's camera. This ability is ideal for apps that require photo submission or image capturing, such as profile picture updates, document uploads, or real-time photo sharing.
For example, if you are developing a photo-sharing app or need users to upload images directly from their devices, this ability enables seamless camera access and image capture without requiring external software.
