Cameras, sound, motion, and the physical world.

With permission, a browser can hand your app the camera, the microphone, and the user's location. The demos let you request each one and see exactly what the browser asks — and what you get back.

Always ask for permission at the moment the user needs it, with a one-line reason. A camera prompt on page load with no explanation gets denied. The same prompt at 'scan a QR code' gets accepted.

What makes this work

The pieces underneath

Try it

15 min

Add a photo upload to any app: the user picks an image, the app resizes it, stores it, and shows a thumbnail with a gentle fade-in. Try it with a real camera photo on your phone.

  • Ask for a file size limit and an accepted-format list.
  • Keep animation under 300 milliseconds unless it is a page transition.
