Description

Webcam Addon for Contact Form 7 is a lightweight plugin that enables site visitors to take a snapshot with their webcam or phone camera and send that image along with their Contact Form 7 submission.

Key features:
* Easy shortcode: add [camera] anywhere in your Contact Form 7 form to show the camera UI.
* Captured image is embedded in the email sent by Contact Form 7.
* Mobile and desktop compatible (uses device camera when available).
* Minimal setup — no external services, images are embedded in email as an tag.

Usage

1) Place [camera] inside your Contact Form 7 form where you want the camera widget to appear.

Example form:

Your name
[text* your-name]
Your email
[email* your-email]
Subject
[text* your-subject]
Message (optional)
[textarea your-message]
[camera]

[submit “Submit”]

2) Mail tab example (use HTML content type):

Name: [your-name]
Email: [your-email]
Message: [your-message]

Frequently Asked Questions

I don’t see the camera on mobile/desktop.

Make sure your browser allows camera access and that the page is served over HTTPS (some browsers block camera access on insecure pages).

The image is not included in the email.

Ensure “Use HTML content type” is enabled in the Mail tab. Also confirm you included in the mail body.

Can users upload files instead of using the camera?

This addon is focused on capturing images via camera. If you need file upload features, consider using a separate file-upload plugin or custom Contact Form 7 fields.
