Doesn't work

April 23rd, 2020

Hello
When I put the mobileCameraInput on my design and parametre it, it seems to be ok 
But when I go to preview mode, there is nothing on the page.

This plugin is meant to provide the ability to control opening the Mobile Camera through Bubble Actions, so it is expected that dragging the Plugin to the Design Page alone would not add anything to the page.

Here's an example design page of how to use the Plugin:
https://bubble.io/page?name=index&id=mobile-camera-input-demo

If you'd like some help with how to get the plugin to work in your App, feel free to email me at [email protected] (plugin author)
