demo outward facing camera is showing white screen.

[laurencefass]

The demo at:

https://purple-technology.github.io/react-camera-pro/

does not work with the outward facing camera of mobile phone with front and rear cameras - shows only a white screen.

Ive tested this alongside phone camera app and other react camera solutions so sure the camera is working

thanks

i've set up a sandbox for this and it is not showing the video stream for the camera. This displays no camera video stream and the facingMode does not work. The code is taken from your example so should be correct.

Hi @laurencefass. On which platform did you experience the issues? Platform/browser?

Chrome in Android not working.

@halffunction Android chrome requires secure connection to access media devices. Try hosting your app with HTTPS.
If you are using react-scripts, set HTTPS=true before the start ("start": "HTTPS=true react-scripts start")
