Hi everyone,
Is it possible to connect powerapps to a windows scanner (not the bar code scanner)? I mean to create a button in an app (scan button) that connects to an exernal scanner machine and automatically scan a document?
I've been trying to search for an answer to this but can't seem to find it.
Thanks for your help.
Hi @Jadday ,
Do you want to connect PowerApps with other scanners except barcode scanner?
I'm afraid it's not supported in PowerApps currently.
For now, PowerApps only supports one kind of scanner: barcode scanner.
I suggest you express your views about adding connected hardwares on PowerApps Ideas Forum. Your precious feedback will be very helpful for our work.
