Hello All,

 

Camera control is not working in Laptop. Please advise. Our company wants to use Laptop as the source for taking pictures using camera. Attached is the screen snip for your reference.

    Hi mate,

     

    Set the "Camera" value of your camera control to 1 or 0.

     

    If it's 0, use 1. If it's 1, use zero.

     

    This is how PowerApps knows whether to use the front or back camera

    I cross checked both 0 and 1, its not working. Please advise

    Please check the permissions for your camera on the website. You my have not accepted it. You also can only use the camera in one application at once.

    Can you use the camera on your PC on other apps? This may not be a PowerApps problem. 

     

    Is the webcam attached and functioning for other applications, like Skype/Teams/Facebook?

    The camera is working fine in all applications.

     

    I have attached screen snip of Teams camera . I am unable to figure it out where the problem is.

    I tried to add a camera control to a new screen, its not working.

     

    Is Chrome doesnt support camera ?

    Do you get an option like this when you first load into the PowerApp and add the camera control?

    Chrome definitely supports camera, I can use it perfectly fine on my session in Chrome.
