Hi Team, any update if this feature will be solved?

Hi there,

This behavior should be resolved now. When I test this web app on mobile (Google Chrome browser, iOS), I can take a photo and show it in the app: https://thunkable.site/w/DQwE6BJNN

This web app is based on the following project https://x.thunkable.com/projects/60117e39d547b700111a8b96/1d29742c-5f96-4dec-baf2-10377007191c/designer

Does this behavior seem to be resolved for you?

Hi

Ive published the app as a respondive webapp and its still not working, the issue is there is no preview stream of the camara so you dont know what you are taking the photo to.

OK, I understand that you are making a feature request and not a bug report. I have updated this Github issue accordingly. We are not currently working on this feature. I will update here when this feature is being worked on.

Im not sure this is case...if you deploy the app as a mobile app either for iOs or Android, when you press take photo the camera preview will show up allowing you to point at what you are making the photo. It will also allow you to selecte the camera you want yo use.

In the webapp you cant either select the camera nor see the preview.
