How are you scanning the barcode?

This might not be a native tool in all browsers, just taking a photo =/= reading the text in said photo, it requires the browser to have features for reading text (or the app which has these features)

> Hi All, I got my Bar Code scanner working but it only works on Perspective App from Playstore. All permissions of Google Chrome Browser is permitted including Camera, but still it doesn't open the camera, I also tried adding a script for logging status at gateway logger in the same button and it is perfectly working. Is anyone here got the same problem or experienced the same issue? Your input is very much appreciated. Thank you.

you might be able to install an extention for this though  
you could try adding this

but if you have to install something, you might aswell install the app xd
