Instructions

Add the Native camera element to the page where you want users to capture a photo. Run Open camera from a workflow, choose the preferred camera, image format, and quality, then use the Photo captured event to preview, save, or download the result.
Use Save captured photo to upload the compressed image to Bubble storage. When the Photo saved event runs, read the Saved image URL state and store it in your database.

This plugin uses the browser camera capture flow. On supported mobile browsers it opens the device camera; on desktop browsers it may open the file picker instead.

I have been using this plugin for a while now with no problems. It uses native cameras if you are using a mobile device, and allows you to save images from files if you aren't. Just make sure to follow the setup instructions carefully.
