Can you please confirm that you have enabled camera permissions in your browser? If yes, please try to logout of the browser, clear cache and re login to verify if the issue still exist, sometimes this happens because of caching issues.

Hope this Helps!

I did a little digging and you are not able to see any images in your collection, because there is no image reference exist in Camera1.Photo

To click a picture, user needs to click on the camera control and then the image reference is set, until them Camera1.Photo is a blank reference.

You can use below settings if you want to click the picture on go:

Camera Control:

Stream Rate: 100

Collection -> Collect(MyPictures, {Filename: Text(Now(),"[$-en-US]yyyy-mm-dd--hh-mm-ss") & ".jpg", Picture: Camera1.Stream})

Hope this Helps!

The problem is you are trying to take the picture with a button. The camera control can only take a picture when you click on the camera control. Its not designed to support invoking the camera from a button. So you are getting a picture but its an empty one. Put the same code in the OnSelect for the Camera control. Then click on the Camera control and you'll see that it works.
