There's no way to launch the mobile camera app from Power Apps.
It's possible to add a camera control to an app, which would enable the user to take a photo using the mobile device camera. However, it isn't possible to launch the built-in camera app from an app
@timl but using "Launch" command i can launch other applications and like sms ,teams etc.
like this can we do?
In terms of lauching apps such as SMS, Teams, we can launch apps using an internet URI to open the associated app.
On a Windows device, you can do this to launch the Windows 10 camera. However, there is no standard URI as far as I'm aware to open the built in camera across all mobile operating systems.
Launch("microsoft.windows.camera:")
@timl hi one more help is there any custom control available for the same?
Hi @AR_88
As far as I'm aware, there's no custom control that's available to launch the camera app on a mobile device.
