Hi!
How to use the front camera to scan barcodes?
Any ideas?
Regards

Place an Action called "Barcode Scan".
Run the flow, and hold any barcode it front of your camera.

When the barcode is captured, it will generate a value within the variable "barcode_text".
From there you can do whatever you want with that text.

There is no option to select the front cam yet, because most of the time we scan using main cam. But maybe it is nice to have the option there. I would like also to have the scan limited to certain code only, example only QRCode. This is to optimize the scanning and reducing the false scan result (QRcode detected as barcode). I think this should be in the Feature requests section.

Oh ... boruciak said "front cam".
I didn't read that right.

Thanks for the help.
I gave up. I used NFC_TAG reader.

I am totally agree with Digitalstone's ideas and thoughts.
