Many thanks I've been looking for 3 entire days to learn how to upload and take a photo by clicking on icon or button, just like what have have done. Thank u again Raza
That's awesome, Reza. I spent sooo many hours 18 months ago trying to make something like this, but failed! Will now be able to complete that project. Cheers!
Reza - I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your videos or how many times I have had a question about how something works and I find a video line this that you have done showing exactly what I need to know. Thank you.
Thank you very much for this video, I used this method with "add picture" control and this even worked with pen input control to send signatures as attachments to a SharePoint list!
@@RahulKumar-tf8ti I did the same steps shown in the video, only in the Collect formula at 12:16 instead of using ".Photo" in the Value, used ".Media" and referenced the add picture control.
Hi Reza, thank you again for this video. This adds great functionality to the app I've created. Do you know of any changes with the web editor that would prevent the attachments from updating? I've started experiencing an issue where I can add photos with your design but it absolutely will not remove photos from SharePoint after deleting them from the collection after submitting the form. This started with no changes on my part to the design you showcased, now I'm stuck trying to find a way to update the attachment separately from the SubmitForm function. Can the attachments be patched independently in addition to submitting the form?
Hi Reza, This is great. Can the same be done with the "Add Picture" control instead of the Camera? I'd like to do something similar but be able to upload images or files as well instead of just taking pictures with the camera.
I got around this by creating two screens. One for the addition of attachments via camera, and basically a duplicate of that but no camera and attachment part is normal.
That's awesome, Reza. I got a problem to follow your instruction and stuck in the middle of the video. But I will retry to learn it from your video. Thanks a lot anyway.

This is not a tutorial for newbies. Skipped alot and not really the typical tutorial order of sequence of events. But it will help those who are already very familiar with PowerApps. Still one of the better Power Apps Camera Control Tutorial around. Thanks Reza
Great Tutorial! One important question which I think might be helpful for others following your approach is "How can we check and confirm what the schema of our attachments data card is?"
Very helpful Reza, thanks. How did you add the horizontal gallery and display the images from the collection at the bottom of the edit screen. i.e. at the 16:26 mm:ss
Hi Reza. This video, just like your others, is amazing. I'm having problems with the OnSelect function of the camera (12:17) I copy the code you have used: et( varName, GUID() ); Collect( colImages, { DisplayName: varName & ".jpg" Id:varName & ".jpg" Value(Camera.Photo } ); The only thing that doesn't work is 'ColImages' Is this making reference back to an item in the app or sharepoint that you have created? I've looked back and can't find where this is referencing
I will have to look at your App in action to provide guidance. I would recommend posting your issue/query with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com
Hi Reza, your video is so Amazing. Please, let me know about "varName" when set up on Camera "On Select". Where else I can set up varName in other places/screen/card?
My friend you are the maximum, I could migrate a sharepoint list to another with everything and its attachments without to flow, (pdf, jpg, etc) with this explanation
You have taught me so much more than any other person or training program. I am a total newby and need it explained in very simple terms. Thank you. do you offer training services?
Many thanks for your video, Reza. The limit capacity of attachment files for a SharePoint list is 250MB (as per MS document), it isn't enough for an simple app like IT inventory - for example. Maybe decreasing image quality to save file size is the short term solution.
True on the attachments size limit. Those limits are further reduced when working with Power Apps. Better solution would be to use a document library to store the related files in IT Inventory tracking scenarios.
Thank You so much Reza! very helpful. but my image can't stored to SharePoint list. can you share your submit button function. I would like to see how you add the collection to the form please.
@@RezaDorrani Thank you Reza, after I click the import button.

Hi Reza, great tuturial. Just a question, from what I understood from other comments, in edit mode remove photos will not work right? any knews regarding this since you made this tuturial?
I Reza thaks a lot, other question, I am trying to put a button to take the picture with the actual code that you are using on taping the camera control but it doens't work and I already change to Camera.Stream insted of Camera.Photo and continues not working.

Here is the App link - github.com/rdorrani/PowerApps/blob/master/InspectionApp_20210518155834.zip Lists and their relationships would have to be created. You can follow the video on that part.
Hi Reza. Thank you for the excellent video. I can get everything to work EXCEPT the delete picture code you mentioned at 12:28. If I take a picture and delete it right away, it works. The problem occurs on photos taken beforehand. in other words: If I take a photo > submit the form > then go back to the camera control and delete the photo > submit form, the photo is still there. it does not get deleted. Any hints as to what i might be doing wrong? Thanks.
That is one limitation with this approach. You cannot delete once you go back to the item. That would have to be done from the backend list item or flow.
Great tutorial, easy to follow and really effective. Is there a way to get all pictures attached in the sharepoint list to the document section of sharepoint site? Or to download automatically all pictures attached in the sharepoint list?
I do not have a video reference on download scenario. List item attachments and document libraries are 2 different things. I don’t believe there is any option to download all pictures in one go. Il recommend checking on forums in case someone has done something similar powerusers.microsoft.com
thank u for this video, however, I am struggling to take a photo and ad title and description fields to it. if you can make a video on that pls. it s similar to the last part of your video but did not work with me for some reason. pls make a simple video on take a photo and add a title and description field ( gallery maybe)
The concept in this video is to save images as list item attachments. There is no option for adding image metadata. For that you would need to store the images in a document library and associate it with your main list item. Check this video - th-cam.com/video/r3UC3TMXhlI/w-d-xo.html You will need to use a mixture of the concepts shown in this video and the one linked in this reponse.
Hey Reza! can't tell you how much you have helped me over the past couple of years in my power apps journey. You have a unique way of taking an idea, and adding a real world application to it. The one thing I am having a problem with is patching the data into SharePoint. I can capture the pictures, and view my collection in the variables, and see the Display name and ID, but when I try to patch, I get a network error, and says there is no ID. I know I am missing something, (probably something basic), but not sure what it is?
Hi Michael, Thank You so much for the appreciation! I have not experienced the mentioned issue and hence not sure what is the cause or fix for it. I recommend posting your issue/query with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com in case someone has experienced something similar
Reza: Thanks for all your work. Up to now, a large part of what I've needed to create the app a construction company is now using daily came from your videos. I've spent some time on the trashcans and the RemoveIf function. I'm missing something. I can delete them from the Attachment Data Card and the collection in OnRemoveFile, but SubmitForm and/or Patch don't save the changes. Ideas? Thanks, JP
Hello Reza. Thank you for all those wonderful videos. I would like to to know on the Inspection Photo Screen how do you relate to the parent form, When Take a picture my pictures does not link to the user that it supposed to be linked
The pictures are added as list item attachments. That’s how they are related to the main form. Its all part of the same list item. If your pictures are not being linked, there must be an issue with the way you configured it. I did a more recent video on this, the description of the video includes link to download sample App. Check th-cam.com/video/pI8saVXEDE4/w-d-xo.html

Awesome Work Reza thanks a million for sharing, I tried everything and it was good at the begining but then I got some trouble, my edit form when I try to save it does not save the pictures, also how can I add the gallery at the bottom of the form to see the pictures
I have made the sample App available. You can check the code in it github.com/rdorrani/PowerApps/blob/master/InspectionAppUpdated_20210822173502%20(1).zip
No native feature in power apps to edit images. I will recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something around this with workarounds.
Hi Reza, this is fantastic! What about situations when I want the user to add "typical" attachments from the computer as well as the images they take in the app as well?? Haven't been able to find a way to get both to work as the collection overrides any attachments the user selects to be added (i.e. pdf files). Any suggestions?
This approach has a limitation in which images cannot be edited or deleted. You can only add images. If you need other attachments types, you would need to use the attachment control as is. Its like a catch 22 situation.
Hi Reza, I want to thank you for your videos which are very instructive and easy to understand, I am very fan of your explanation, I just have a small question, I followed step by step your video all is correct but at the time that I submit the images are not saved in my SharePoint do you know why? I use the app in tablet mode , Thank you very much
Hi Reza- Amazing Tutorial. I've run into an issue I'm struggling to resolve. At 11:14 in your tutorial, where you change the "on Select function for camera control to set Display Name, ID, Value, my Camera Control no longer captures the photos' into the collection.

Hello Reza, many thanks for sharing this helpful video. I got a question. is there a way to add markups to the photos and save those in PowerApps?. Does PowerApps has this posibility by itself? or do we need to use an external pin input application?.. Anything you can share with me will be appreciated and helpful. Thanks
I don’t think there is an out of the box option for markups. Not something I have tried or have a video reference for. I will recommend checking or posting your query on forums in case someone has done something similar powerusers.microsoft.com

Hi reza! this does exactly what I need! thanks for this great video man! I would also need the pictures to get saved to the camera roll when using the camera control, but I can't get that to happen. I did use this app on an LG phone and they do get saved to the phone's local camera roll by default when I take them, but this doesn't happen with Iphones or Samsung phones. Would you happen to know why this doesn't happen or of a way to achieve it? Thanks!
@Reza, your videos are so helpful! I really appreciate the content you produce, so thank you! One question about this one: would it be possible to alter this for a multi-question format, such that it it stores the pictures in such a way that I can trace them back to one of 30 questions?
Im assuming you mean a pic per question. That would not work with attachments control since it cannot store metafdata. I did a video where I used the file name as the metadata. Check my videos on sharepoint list attachments. I have done plenty of them.
@@RezaDorrani I think I have seen that one, about Attachment Control: th-cam.com/video/hJQjGE-oUpM/w-d-xo.html I have an audit app, where someone answers 30some multiple-choice questions and then has to add multiple pictures as proof of each answer. Which direction could I then best look if can't store the metadata of this way? Currently, I'm thinking of just making 250 columns (of which the majority will be image columns).

Good morning, first of all, thank you for the very helpful tutorial... Unfortunately, I'm missing a step and I can't figure it out. Once I've taken the pictures, I don't know how to update the record on SharePoint, a record that will later be displayed in the selection menu (the keyboard, the lawn, etc., etc.). Thank you very much for any help!!!
Its a form control. Once you submit form it will add or update record depending upon form mode. I have done several videos on form control. I would also recommend posting your query on forums with screenshots powerusers.microsoft.com

Hi Reza! Amazing, detailed video. Thank you. I have one quick question, is it possible to store the photos from the camera control inside a document library on SharePoint?
@@RezaDorrani I appreciate the response, I've looked into the video and have one last question. Would I be able to select specific subfolders (within the document library) from my PowerApp (maybe within a dropdown/choice card) that I could send the photo attachments to? If possible, I'll start digging and doing some research on how. Thanks so much!
Hi Reza. Thanks for your fabulous videos. You are helping me a lot. I am building a quality system based on SharePoint and inspection power app is interesting for me. However, I would like you to explain how to take pictures with camera control and add each picture as an item in a either dedicated pictures library or dedicated pictures list item. Thanks again!
Dedicated pictures in a library with metadata would have to be a separate video. I did a video on list relationships which would be something I can build upon in future th-cam.com/video/SCYY9ZL48Mw/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this video. Your video has a lot to it! My problem is that I can't use the formula for the image on the Browse screen. I think that what has happened is my browse screen is based on a collection and I think collections can't hold attachments. Am I close or am I way off base. I managed to take a photo and save it to attachments but I'm having trouble retrieving it! Any thoughts would be most welcome
Really useful video, it saved me a lot of time. I do have one question. When I open the app on my phone it gives me different camera views (in a list) but even though the camera names are different it always shows the image through the front facing camera. Do you know how I can resolve this?
Thanks for liking the video. Not sure about your camera related issue. Switching camera should work based on steps in video. I would recommend to post your issue/query with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com
Pictures removed or replaced is not supported with this technique. For that you may want to showcase the attachments control so the user can directly work with that.
Hi Reza, Well done, I really enjoy watching your video and learning the little secrets you are disclosing. I have an issue though with what you mentioned in this video. when uploading new photos everything is working perfectly but removing images is not working and when you look at SharePoint attachments they are not deleted. What do you think I have missed. I have followed your instructions step by step.
Hi Reza, Everything works well for me with uploading the attachments to SharePoint. But can you view the images in another power app that uses the same SharePoint datasource? Thanks in advance!
It should show option to switch camera as shown in video. Might be a device related issue. I will recommend posting your issue with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com
Hi Reza.. It was very useful.. Still I had struck up at submit form. While I submit form after attaching the photos generated thru' camera control, it is showing an error '"Field Id is required" and I am not able to figure this out...requesting your advice on this
HI There Thanks so much this works, but how can i update an existing record - add more images by combing using the update function of the Data card so the its equal to ThisItem.Attachments & ColImages combined

Thank you so much Reza. your video was extremely helpful. I have a question for you. How can I name each photo individually when saved as an attachment? For Ex. "Photo 1, Photo 2, Photo 3, etc. Is it possible to do that instead of giving it a random name like you did with the varName GUID() function?
Did you find any solution for this, even I am struggling the same, I am able to change the display name convention but I want to have names like something similar to this if I take 3 pictures wanted to name them as pic1, pic2, pic3. There is way to change the display name to picture but when we click the 3 pics it is giving the same and getting saved only1 as remaing2 treats as duplicates not sure how to overcome this
OnVisible of the PhotoScreen set a variable like Set(varIncrement;0) Add the variable in the title name, e.g. Displayname: "myTitle_" & "varIncrement" & ".jpg". after the collect, add ;;Set(varIncrement; varIncrement +1) works for me
Wow, just wow! No more flows to add attachments to items.

Hi Reza, your video is so Amazing. Please, let me know about "varName" when set up on Camera "On Select". Where else I can set up varName in other places/screen/card?
varName must be unique and used in the places shown in video. You can replace guid with a particular pattern or date etc.
The video I've been looking for!!!!!!
You found it 👍
Thank you Very much!!!!!!, your video is very good !!!!!
You are most welcome!
My friend you are the maximum, I could migrate a sharepoint list to another with everything and its attachments without to flow, (pdf, jpg, etc) with this explanation
Awesome! Thanks for watching.
Hi Reza, thank you very much, your videos are amazing.
Glad you like them!
You have taught me so much more than any other person or training program. I am a total newby and need it explained in very simple terms. Thank you. do you offer training services?
I do offer live training on TH-cam via channel memberships. On web browser, go to my channel, click on JOIN button to see the details.
Much appreciated.. Thanks for taking the time to always replying and helping your veiwier .. 🙏
My pleasure!
No more Parse JSON....in Flow!!! Very nice!!

Many thanks for your video, Reza. The limit capacity of attachment files for a SharePoint list is 250MB (as per MS document), it isn't enough for an simple app like IT inventory - for example. Maybe decreasing image quality to save file size is the short term solution.
True on the attachments size limit. Those limits are further reduced when working with Power Apps.
Better solution would be to use a document library to store the related files in IT Inventory tracking scenarios.
@@RezaDorrani thanks Reza ! but just 50mb to upload ? or 50mg for all l'app ? (sorry for my english)
@@Nyny_77 I believe max file size is 20 MB. But you could add multiple. Im not sure of total limit.

That is correct. Remove photos will not work in edit mode. No news since :)

Here is the App link - github.com/rdorrani/PowerApps/blob/master/InspectionApp_20210518155834.zip
Lists and their relationships would have to be created. You can follow the video on that part.
I really liked this approach. Thanks Reza.
Glad you liked it!
Hi Reza. Thank you for the excellent video. I can get everything to work EXCEPT the delete picture code you mentioned at 12:28. If I take a picture and delete it right away, it works. The problem occurs on photos taken beforehand. in other words: If I take a photo > submit the form > then go back to the camera control and delete the photo > submit form, the photo is still there. it does not get deleted. Any hints as to what i might be doing wrong? Thanks.
That is one limitation with this approach. You cannot delete once you go back to the item.
That would have to be done from the backend list item or flow.
@@RezaDorrani Thank you so much for replying promptly.
Great tutorial, thanks

Thanks for the amazing tutorial.

Great tutorial, easy to follow and really effective. Is there a way to get all pictures attached in the sharepoint list to the document section of sharepoint site? Or to download automatically all pictures attached in the sharepoint list?
I do not have a video reference on download scenario. List item attachments and document libraries are 2 different things. I don’t believe there is any option to download all pictures in one go.
Il recommend checking on forums in case someone has done something similar
powerusers.microsoft.com
thank u for this video, however, I am struggling to take a photo and ad title and description fields to it. if you can make a video on that pls. it s similar to the last part of your video but did not work with me for some reason. pls make a simple video on take a photo and add a title and description field ( gallery maybe)
The concept in this video is to save images as list item attachments. There is no option for adding image metadata. For that you would need to store the images in a document library and associate it with your main list item.
Check this video - th-cam.com/video/r3UC3TMXhlI/w-d-xo.html
You will need to use a mixture of the concepts shown in this video and the one linked in this reponse.
Hey Reza! can't tell you how much you have helped me over the past couple of years in my power apps journey. You have a unique way of taking an idea, and adding a real world application to it.
The one thing I am having a problem with is patching the data into SharePoint. I can capture the pictures, and view my collection in the variables, and see the Display name and ID, but when I try to patch, I get a network error, and says there is no ID. I know I am missing something, (probably something basic), but not sure what it is?
Hi Michael,

Reza: Thanks for all your work. Up to now, a large part of what I've needed to create the app a construction company is now using daily came from your videos. I've spent some time on the trashcans and the RemoveIf function. I'm missing something. I can delete them from the Attachment Data Card and the collection in OnRemoveFile, but SubmitForm and/or Patch don't save the changes. Ideas? Thanks, JP
Glad to hear that!
I have not come across this issue hence not sure what changes is needed.
Hello Reza. Thank you for all those wonderful videos. I would like to to know on the Inspection Photo Screen how do you relate to the parent form, When Take a picture my pictures does not link to the user that it supposed to be linked
The pictures are added as list item attachments. That’s how they are related to the main form. Its all part of the same list item.
If your pictures are not being linked, there must be an issue with the way you configured it.

Hi Reza, this is fantastic! What about situations when I want the user to add "typical" attachments from the computer as well as the images they take in the app as well?? Haven't been able to find a way to get both to work as the collection overrides any attachments the user selects to be added (i.e. pdf files). Any suggestions?
This approach has a limitation in which images cannot be edited or deleted. You can only add images.
If you need other attachments types, you would need to use the attachment control as is. Its like a catch 22 situation.
Hi Reza, I want to thank you for your videos which are very instructive and easy to understand, I am very fan of your explanation, I just have a small question, I followed step by step your video all is correct but at the time that I submit the images are not saved in my SharePoint do you know why?

Hi reza! this does exactly what I need! thanks for this great video man! I would also need the pictures to get saved to the camera roll when using the camera control, but I can't get that to happen. I did use this app on an LG phone and they do get saved to the phone's local camera roll by default when I take them, but this doesn't happen with Iphones or Samsung phones. Would you happen to know why this doesn't happen or of a way to achieve it? Thanks!

@Reza, your videos are so helpful! I really appreciate the content you produce, so thank you!
One question about this one: would it be possible to alter this for a multi-question format, such that it it stores the pictures in such a way that I can trace them back to one of 30 questions?
Im assuming you mean a pic per question. That would not work with attachments control since it cannot store metafdata.
I did a video where I used the file name as the metadata.
Check my videos on sharepoint list attachments. I have done plenty of them.
@@RezaDorrani I think I have seen that one, about Attachment Control: th-cam.com/video/hJQjGE-oUpM/w-d-xo.html
I have an audit app, where someone answers 30some multiple-choice questions and then has to add multiple pictures as proof of each answer. Which direction could I then best look if can't store the metadata of this way?
Currently, I'm thinking of just making 250 columns (of which the majority will be image columns).
I would probably use a document library to store related files.

Collections cannot hold attachments.
Really useful video, it saved me a lot of time. I do have one question. When I open the app on my phone it gives me different camera views (in a list) but even though the camera names are different it always shows the image through the front facing camera. Do you know how I can resolve this?

Thanks a lot for the video content. ¿Could you please tell me if we can remove pictures? after submit, on edit mode.
Pictures removed or replaced is not supported with this technique. For that you may want to showcase the attachments control so the user can directly work with that.
Got it, thanks for quickly answer.
Hi Reza, Well done, I really enjoy watching your video and learning the little secrets you are disclosing. I have an issue though with what you mentioned in this video. when uploading new photos everything is working perfectly but removing images is not working and when you look at SharePoint attachments they are not deleted. What do you think I have missed. I have followed your instructions step by step.

But can you view the images in another power app that uses the same SharePoint datasource?

Thank you so much Reza. your video was extremely helpful. I have a question for you. How can I name each photo individually when saved as an attachment? For Ex. "Photo 1, Photo 2, Photo 3, etc. Is it possible to do that instead of giving it a random name like you did with the varName GUID() function?
Possible. Just use the naming standard of your choice.
Did you find any solution for this, even I am struggling the same, I am able to change the display name convention but I want to have names like something similar to this if I take 3 pictures wanted to name them as pic1, pic2, pic3. There is way to change the display name to picture but when we click the 3 pics it is giving the same and getting saved only1 as remaing2 treats as duplicates not sure how to overcome this
OnVisible of the PhotoScreen set a variable like Set(varIncrement;0)
Add the variable in the title name, e.g. Displayname: "myTitle_" & "varIncrement" & ".jpg".
after the collect, add ;;Set(varIncrement; varIncrement +1)
works for me
