Camera Capture for AppSheet

Adds a camera capture button to AppSheet photo fields. Take, preview, and upload webcam photos without leaving your browser.

CAMERA CAPTURE FOR APPSHEET Tired of having to open your phone camera app, save a photo, and then upload it manually every time AppSheet asks for a photo? Camera Capture for AppSheet adds a Camera button directly inside your AppSheet application, right below every photo or image upload field. Click it, take your photo from your webcam, preview it, and save it — all without leaving the page. ───────────────────────────────── WHY YOU NEED THIS ───────────────────────────────── AppSheet does not have built-in webcam capture on desktop.
