Hi shmedmohiuddin,

As I know Windows Store App WebView use IE render engine and you could work with HTML5 features if IE support it. I saw IE10 support getUserMedia method from HTML5 to communicate with camera, I believe that WebView in Windows Store App should be ok with HTML5 camera feature.

Probably you should also enable the "Webcam" option in Capability.
