Webcam Photo Import

Is it possible to (directly) take and import a photo with a webcam? I’d like my students to be able to create pen-and-paper diagrams and easily add them to a board.

(I realize that they could take a photo in another app, save it on their device, and then upload it to the board. But it would be a lot faster and easier if they could do this directly.)

@Aaron Weinberg - Only the mobile and tablet versions of Miro will search for a camera source to upload a picture to a board.

If your students are going to be uploading images on a regular basis, it would probably be worth their installing the Miro mobile app on their devices. From there they could open the board, click the “+” symbol, and add a picture from their camera (or phone’s gallery):

There’s no direct way to do this so I’d suggest adding it as a wish list item following the guidelines here: Wish List: Everything You Need to Know 🌠 | Miro
