Android, in Chrome: photos and videos taken without leaving the page
On an Android phone short of memory, opening the camera from Chrome could reload the page and lose the photo. Photos and videos are now taken within the page itself.
For agents who use The Big One in Chrome on Android (without the app), the “Add a photo” and “Film a video” buttons open a full-screen camera within the page. The photo or video appears straight away under the requirement, with no reload.
What changes
- Photo: the large white circle takes the photo; the cross or the phone’s back button closes the camera.
- Video: the red circle starts the video and the square stops it. The time is shown at the top, and the video stops by itself at 60 seconds. It is filmed without sound.
- A video once started is never lost: the back button or a phone call stops it and keeps it.
- The first time, Chrome asks you to allow the camera. If it is refused, a button offers the phone’s camera, as before.
Since then, the same camera also opens in the iPhone and Android apps and in Safari: see “Photos: the same camera on every phone”. Nothing changes on a computer.
