You can read more about this here. For now, I like this project BarcodeScanning.Native.Maui, in source code you can find front/back camera option. I found one discussion which might help you too. We tested also this library, but the first library I posted works better for QR code reading, at least for us. |

Description
In the MediaPicker, the CapturePhotoAsync method currently does not provide an option to select either the rear or front camera. Please consider adding a parameter inside MediaPickerOptions to specify the desired camera type (front or back). This would make it easier to use the camera.
In my project, I need to use the front camera for taking pictures when the user punches in the system. I've tried multiple approaches without success. I also attempted the following code for Android:
intent.PutExtra("android.intent.extras.CAMERA_FACING", 1);However, it did not work. I want this same functionality for both Android and iOS, as I plan to integrate it into my two mobile applications.
Public API Changes
new MediaPickerOptions { Title = GlobalResource.SELECT_A_IMAGE, CameraLocation=CameraLocation.Front })Intended Use-Case
FileResult photo = await MediaPicker.Default.CapturePhotoAsync(new MediaPickerOptions { Title = GlobalResource.SELECT_A_IMAGE });Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
