TL DR
Can html5 camera inputs work on windows 10 tablets?
More details
- Device: Dell Venue 8 Pro Tablet
- OS: Windows 10
- Browser: Chrome
Customization
Create and host a page with the following html and open in Chrome:
<input type="file" accept="image/*" capture="camera">
Make sure Windows 10 allows apps to use the camera.
Problem
Pressing the input does not start the camera. Instead, it launches a file browser.
Study
The above code works great on Android and iOS devices.
I connected the javascript library of the webcam that works on the Win10 tablet. My suspicion is that Windows does not recognize the built-in camera as a camera just like Android / iOS, and instead considers it to be a web camera (since mobile Windows 10 is essentially just desktop Windows 10 in a smaller form factor)
