somebody asked how to add new photos, this my question too but I want to add one more thing to my question. How I change of the photo name using by spesific date & time. Thanks.

At 5.34 i could see on your face you were perplexed by why it displayed the same photo you took earlier. Me too. Some of this Power App stuff is not intuitive at all. You escaped to One Drive, then rerturned and it took a different photo. Selecting different webcams is a nightmare too. Where can we learn the commands that Power Apps uses? Thanks

Hmmm, maybe a whole lot has changed since this video. I finally got it to work with this code in the Power App: Set(str, JSON(Camera1.Photo, JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData));
Set(str, Right(str, Len(str)-23)); //trim the front of the string to remove "data:image/png;base64,
Set(str, Left(str, Len(str)-1));SavePic.Run(str) //trim the final " off the end of the string

Then in the flow there is no "Ask in PowerApps" so I had to add a text input to the PowerApps (V2) trigger.
Finally this expression in the compose step:

I would like to add pictures to my one drive but I need a formula so that I can add multiple images and have the file names change. any help here?

[vitordigitizing]

How do you then retrieve the photo to show it on a View Screen?

Does anyone know how to set it up such that if you take another photo, it creates a new file name like, "me pic 1.png" instead of overwriting the current pic. Thanks
