It should be nice to have a sample of how to analyse or modify (opencv....) images in the stream of the camera

[@ademineshat]

Since you asked 😊 It's definitely time to build a small app with nvvm.

[@jfversluis]

What are you building?

[@ademineshat]

@@jfversluis I mean you not me 😀 I have some side projects. But I want to see something you do and how you do it 😊

Great Video! Wanted to ask how to remove the black lines on the left and right of the CameraView?

[@jfversluis]

I haven’t seen that? Maybe select a different resolution?

[@simonmardine6414]

Is there a way to use 2 cameras at the same time (also called director's view) ?

[@jfversluis]

I don’t think so simply because it’s not supported by the hardware?

[@PierreH1968]

@@jfversluis I have seen it on Android and iPhone, in my Samsung fold it's called director's view and I have seen apps on iPhone doing it too. using concurrent streaming.

[@PierreH1968]

It has been available on iPhone since 2019 and introduced by Nokia in 2017 and later by Samsung, but you might be right, the API might have restricted it since newer phones have so many cameras playing together (in the back in particular)
