Is it possible to capture an image from a live camera feed in Perspective like you could in Vision using the system.print.captureImage() function?

This is basically equivalent to being able to capture a screenshot, [which is tricky](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-screenshot-capture/24312/2), and I don’t think it’s possible still.

It may be possible in the future via some integration with the browser screen capture API or using Perspective Workstation.

Thanks Kevin,

I found that a good workaround, at least for the time being, is with using Firefox to right-click and save a screenshot, then drop that screenshot on a FileUpload component. Takes a little user training, but should get the job done.
