Camera Field for Elementor Forms is an advanced field type that allows users to capture photos or record videos directly inside Elementor Forms — without needing to open their device’s native camera app.
If the device doesn’t support camera access, the field automatically switches to a standard file upload option, ensuring a smooth user experience on all platforms.
