Using Your Device's Camera

Article summary

Infoodle enables you to use the camera on your device when taking photos. This can be really helpful when conducting an audit of people in your organisation and you want to quickly capture their image. Rather than going via your regular camera and uploading the photo, you can do this directly to the screen.

When you edit your photos, you are given the option to 'Use camera' (if a camera is found on your system and your browser supports it - there is limited support at this point, see below.).

Clicking 'use camera' will launch a popup window. The first time you do this, your browser will ask if you want to give permission to infoodle to use your camera. You should only need to do this once.

Depending on which browser you use will determine how you do this. Normally there is a message at the top of your screen.

Chrome

  • You are presented with a single line beneath the address bar at the top asking to 'Allow' or 'Deny'. Click 'Allow'. See chrome for more help.

Firefox

  • You are shown a large message beside the address bar asking if you wish to share your camera. You can choose to 'always' share. If you wish to review this later you can check your permissions. More information is available on the firefox site.

Internet Explorer

  • This feature is not yet available (as of version 11). It is apparently going to be available in v 12.

Safari

  • This feature is not yet available.

Opera

  • This feature isn't reliable as yet.
