      Are you able to use the webcam normally, as described here? If you’re having trouble making it work, I would ensure it’s first working as expected outside of MM.

      Problem with config or JavaScript? Copy/paste it into JSHint.

        thank you. yes, I’ve tested it first as described in the link you’ve provided although I’ve tested only capturing an image and not live stream.
        The thing is that i’m not sure is the voice component works for me at all and I don’t even know how to test it.
        thank you for your help!

          @xela What modules are you using? This seems like voicecontrol, but what are you using for a camera module? Does it already include receivers for those notifications?

            i’m getting all of that which I have no idea what it means but I think it is related to the voicecontrol:

              @xela Which modules are you using? Did you run npm install in both folders? Do you also have the camera module in your config.js?

              Problem with config or JavaScript? Copy/paste it into JSHint.

                thank you very much! it’s working!

                do you know by any chance if it’s possible to have the camera picture as vertically full screen?
                Or is not, is it possible to hide all other modules when the camera picture is on?
                I want to use the camera as my mirror so when I say the magic work everything disappears and only the camera picture stays.

                  Have a look at MMM-pages. Install it, and you can then send a PAGE_CHANGED notification either when you send the camera notifications (voicecontrol module) or when you receive and process them (camera module). That should page between the camera and everything else.

                    Thank you very much! That’s great.
                    Do you know by any chance if it’s possible to have the camera image 90 degree rotated and on full screen? I want to use the camera as the mirror instead of applying a glass or a film.

                        Sorry… the modules I’m using are:
                        Alert
                        updatenotification
                        helloworld
                        clock
                        calendar
                        MMM-WunderGround
                        MMM-Traffic
                        MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic
                        MMM-ImageSlideshow
                        voicecontrol
                        camera
                        compliments
                        newsfeed
                        MMM-Remote-Control

                        I also intend to use MMM-buttons so when I press a button it will start the image slideshow of artistic pictures (so it will act as a wall art).

                        thank you for your help!
