File upload directly from webcam
For some forms use cases it would be great to be able to take a picture using the devices camera / webcam. For mobile platforms this works well already, but on full operating systems you can only upload a document from the file system.
Webcam based upload is a native HTML5 functionality, and an example can be found toward the bottom of this page:

Thank you for your idea. We added it to our collection of ideas and features and will further investigate it. We currently cannot say exactly when this idea will be implemented. As soon as we have more information we will update its status.

When using UWP browsers like Legacy Microsoft Edge, you can actually access the camera directly in the File Explorer application when adding files. Unfortunately, this limits you to using Edge as a default browser, and signatures do not work in Legacy Edge, but there's a workaround if you need it.
