I’m guessing some sort of modal is supposed to appear… but if so, this is not happening. No sign of any error. Needs a bit more documentation!

Tested on desktop with common (NexiGo) webcam … works ‘out of the box!’

For this component we have “On Save Image Event“ handler. When we upload file or make snapshot from webcam the handler is called.

@viktor 1) when I click “Make photo”, I am asked for permission to grant camera access. When I grant access, I see the camera on my computer is activated (little red icon on Chrome browser tab), but there is no interface to snap photo. Nothing happens except my camera is activated?! 2) When I click “Upload”, I am asked to select a file…. I select a file. But then nothing happens. File is not found in our file system.

There are no errors or messages in console. Can you explain what is supposed to happen when clicking the buttons of this component?

Installed and tested on desktop — doesn’t seem to do anything or work at all. In preview, we just get a button “upload”, on click a popup asks us to select a file. After selection, popup closes and nothing happens. File is not found anywhere in our files directories, user is never asked to take a photo with a webcam… documentation is sparse and doesn’t explain how this component is supposed to work. Perhaps it is not working?

Doesn’t seem to work, no documentation on how to configure or use this component.
