could you elaborate?

[Simon-Laux]

do you mean you have multiple cameras and want to select which one to use for the qr code scan?

if there are multiple webcams installed, there is no way within the application to select the correct one. See device manager screenshot. ( attached ) DeltaChat defaults to the laptops usb 2.0 built-in webcam. This can not be used in the docking station it has. I have an external usb webcam. The Logitech one in the bottom of the screenshot. The only way to select the Logitech camera is to disable the usb 2 camera. There is no setting in deltachat to pick the correct camera. On the Desktop version of deltachat, I would recommend a dropdown selection option of webcams to pick on the scan qr code screen.

as this is part of "QR Scanner Refactor" - is there something planned/possible that goes beyond MediaTrackConstraints - because this is also exposed to https://github.com/JodusNodus/react-qr-reader/#component-api and just using this might remove pressure from a refactoring requirement

ftr: i also ran into that issue with the continuous camera of macos/iphone, however, at the end it turns out, it was more my fault as the iphone was used for "facingMode: user" - and switching this is part of the system, not even sure if an app has access to that

I want to add a button to switch to the next Camera. This button is disabled if there is just one or no camera. Another alternative would be a dropdownlist.

If there are only 2 cameras, the former is better, if there are more, a dropdownlist is better. I believe that most desktop PCs have got at most 2 cameras.

Additionally, DC must detect the should used camera of the user for QR scanning purpose.

I also already stated this on a local branch
