Switch between multiple camera's

[thibaultmol]

Hi,

It seems like the webapp doesn't have any feature to swtich between the front and back camera's?
(also would be nice if it auto selected the back camera, as that's usually the one that people use when scanning QR codes)

Tested on a Google Pixel 2: https://www.whatsmybrowser.org/b/H42RV

Cheers

@thibaultmol Just wondering how helpful it will be to scan from a front-facing camera? I mean why do we need it?. usually, people scan with a back camera.

The weird thing (and reason why i asked) is because for some reason it didn't show the back camera for me. But the front camera instead. Really weird

@thibaultmol I see. Got your point.

@thibaultmol This issue should be fixed now. Feel free to reopen this issue if not. Thanks

Seems like it's 'only' doing front camera now? Default being back camera is fine, but being able to use the front camera with a button would be nice

@thibaultmol Back camera is the default camera. Are you saying it is still front for you in pixel 2?

I am not sure having a front camera for scanning would be that useful but will keep this on an enhancement list.

Hello, on Android 12 beta/Chrome it's correctly selecting back camera. However, on iPad/Safari it's the front camera and on Windows 10/Chrome it uses the built in camera (display is closed) and I am not able to switch to external camera:

Still no plans to add camera selection? Thank you!
