Camera preview
A Capacitor plugin for embedding a live camera preview and capturing photos/videos directly within HTML in hybrid mobile apps.
What is Camera preview?
Capacitor Camera Preview is a plugin for the Capacitor runtime that allows developers to embed a live camera preview directly into the HTML of their hybrid mobile applications. It provides JavaScript APIs to start/stop the camera, capture photos and videos, switch cameras, and control flash modes, enabling native camera functionality without leaving the web view context.
Mobile developers using Capacitor (often with Ionic) to build cross-platform hybrid apps that require integrated camera functionality, such as for scanning, augmented reality, or custom photo/video capture interfaces.
It offers a straightforward way to add native camera previews to HTML-based apps, with extensive platform-specific customization and a focus on maintaining UI interactivity, avoiding the need for separate native modules or full-screen camera takeovers.
