Is it possible to use computer camera from windows phone emulator 8.1?

Question

I am very newbie to the windows phone development. I try to come up with a simple app taking photos. For testing I need to run emulator and take photos from the emulator by using computer camera. However, if I start to camera it shows very interesting shapes and does not use computer camera. Is there any way to exploit PC camera directly from emulator and take photos?

Answer 1

No way to do this, you just get the "interesting shapes" and that is it.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, it currently isn't possible to use a webcam or other built in PC camera to use with the camera on a Windows Phone emulator.
