AlyssaParticipant@mln83 unlike the consistency with mobile devices doing this for desktops would be a much larger undertaking that just isn’t practical for an internet application. Sorry.
October 4, 2015 at 3:01 am #47864@mln83I see what you are saying. I thought it would be quite easy with HTML5:
<input type=”file” accept=”image/*;capture=camera”>But I guess it only works on mobile devices.
In the meantime I have found one plugin that supposedly does what I was asking for:
http://codecanyon.net/item/imagepicker-uploader-webcam-cropper/6722532using Flash but I am not convinced that it will work on certain mobile devices.
Anyway it is interesting to note how difficult it is to make something like this cross-platform compatible 🙂
October 4, 2015 at 3:04 am #47865@mln83I wonder if the feature could be implemented on mobile device simply as:
—-Begin pseudo code—-
if ”mobile device”
<input type=”file” accept=”image/*;capture=camera”>
else
end—-end pseudo code—-
October 6, 2015 at 8:40 am #48044@mln83I have been in contact with the developer behind ImagePicker. He is currently working on a new version that may include support for WordPress. He may also be interested in developing a version specifically for BuddyBoss. I will forward the link here:

MichaelNovember 9, 2015 at 3:26 pm #51150@mln83I see that you have added support for grabbing a profile photo using webcam in Boss 2.0.0.
This is great news! Thanks!
Keep up the good work 🙂
