Perspective App front facing camera

Can we add the possibility to select the front facing camera on tablets?
We use the tablet as a visitor welcome app where they sign in, being able to take their picture and issue ID badges would be a great help.

Hello, any update on this idea? File upload is not ideal and since Ignition is tying to camera for barcode scan, need functionality to grab photo (maybe video one day). Please consider adding soon. Thanks!

Facing the same issue with our project.

We are trying to do the same thing. There is the "File Upload" component, but its clunky and not intuitive to the user of how to click camera, then switch to the front. The user experience is poor.

Ryan McLaughlin: This is a pretty common pattern but I understand that is not ideal.
Are you looking for an action that allows opening the camera directly and specifying which camera? What is the expectation for where that image ends up? typically something like this would come through the Session Events.

jcoffman: we are looking for similar functionality. We want to take pictures to be uploaded to an AI processing engine for review. Ideally for us it would work similarly to the barcode feature.
