Take Photo Widget: Browser asks for permission to camera for each widget.

    I'm using the 'Take a Photo' widget. My device asks me if I'm happy to have the website have access to my camera, but it does so for each photo field.

    This isn't too bad on the phone because it only does so as I unhide each photo field, although it would be much better if it was only once per form.

    On my Mac though it asks once per field regardless of whether they are hidden or not. This makes building my form ridiculously time consuming.

    Is there a way to have it remember my choice and ask me much less often or better still not at all once I've accepted once.

    I can see the same you're reporting and I think this happens due to the way how widgets work, basically the widgets are separated pages embedded on each form using an iFrame, so the browser interprets that like if you need to allow permission to each page. 

    I'm forwarding this to our second level in order to ask our developers what can be done on this, we will keep you updated via this thread. 

    Thanks.
