We are currently unable to capture lens information immediately, let alone such a large database!

Currently the only extension: js, but web code is more difficult to do this  
The live broadcast needs to read the camera return value for a long time, but it needs permission

I think @tony.ycy.program is saying that Thunkable doesn’t support live camera view (except when taking a photo) and there isn’t enough server capacity to support streaming video apps.
