I would like to request a feature (or at least open up a conversation relating to the particular feature mentioned in the header of this post). Also whilst choosing a category I found it surprising that there is not category for ‘request/suggest a feature’.
Obviously I have just turned up like 'bobby out of the shower (for those old enough to get the pun), and I don’t want to seem demanding. Just picking up from where I left off.
Namaste

Hello @FamousMrThomas, thanks for sharing this request. Would you be ok to share a bit more about what you are wanting to see?
We do have a specific category for feature requests that you can always access and post to here:
> **[Feature Requests](https://community.thunkable.com/c/thunkable/feature-requests/84)**
>
> We want to hear from you. Although we can’t make promises that we will get to all of these (we hope there’s a lot) NOR can we make promises on timeframes for the ones we will work on we feel it’s important to get community feedback because at the end of the day, it’s all of you that are building on our platform and not the other way around!
I’ve gone ahead and updated the category on this post to a feature request.

Hi Matt,
Great to speak with you. Thank you for the category change, I must not have seen it looking through so sorry and thanks.
As for what I think would be awesome, is if there was a camera and mic sensor that sat with the other sensor blocks. It could be a block that maybe had restrictions as far as a developer having access to the camera and sound from a recording point of view, but able to use the mic and camera to act as a simple switch for macros to be performed. therefore it would be safe for everyone to use.
Hope this explains things more.
Namaste

Worth mentioning, I know these things can take time to develop if at all, but i was hoping to open a dialogue with developers to see if this is a possibility. As users, when we see an opportunity to further exploit the already available features of android and apple devices, it feels right to pursue it to help make Thunkable a complete solution to code free app design.

Are any of the main developers of Thunkable able to contribute to this topic?
