What are the options to directly access the camera in the Universal GUI on Windows to take photos? For example, we have Micorosft Surfaces where we want to directly add a photo to a table (e.g., using the multiple upload HTML page that I have working now), but also with a normal form, but with the Image Upload control, I can only choose files instead of taking a photo. On iOS, I do get that option.

Hi
Technically it might be possible for Universal to build a feature like that, but then you'd get a camera implementation that is missing at least:
- Zoom possibility
- Clicking to focus
Because as a web application, we can't implement features like that due to missing APIs.
Kind regards,

+23Hi Patrick,
Currently the Universal GUI leaves it up to the device (browser + OS combination) to decide which options are available. Windows sadly does not provide the camera option.
