In this example, I've created a Windows Forms application which uses MediaCapture class to capture a photo using your laptop camera. you can extend the applictaion to capture video as well.
The example contains two projects, one for .NET 6 and one for .NET Framework 4.8.
The basic trick to use MediaCapture api in a WinForms or a WPF application, is setting up the project to target the right windows versions:
- For .NET 6, you can set the Target OS in properties to 10.0.17763.0 or above (or set the TargetFramrwork in project file to net6.0-windows10.0.17763.0)
- For .NET 4.8, you can enable PackageReference for package manager, and install Microsoft.Windows.SDK.Contracts package. (10.0.17763.0 or above).
