camera under Windows 10

Question

Hi,

I'm interested in knowing how camera works under Windows 10.

My understanding store app will lost camera when user switch to other app under Windows 8. I did a quick test under Windows 10 desktop mode, it seems to work the same way. My question is, for app like video communication, that means users can't have video call and working on something else at the same time with store app. Or am I missing something?

Answer 1

For the video call scenario take a look at the Real-time communication sample. This allows a video call alongside another app on Windows 8.1 as well.       

Answer 2

Thanks!

I did look at it earlier with localhost streaming. If I minimize and restore the app, it stops.
