Hi MS team,

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/samples/microsoft/windows-universal-samples/camerafacedetection/

The link above is MS demo for UWP app, but I want to use it in WinUI3 app.

When i merge the code to WinUI3, there are some elements not supported in WinUI3, such as CaptureElement.

Do you have the camera face detection sample for WinUI3? or can you guide me to adapt it?

Thanks.

    In WinUI 3, CaptureElement is replaced by MediaPlayerElement, like in the MS sample : https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-Camera/tree/master/Samples/MediaCaptureWinUI3

    You can also read frames as explained at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/develop/camera/process-media-frames-with-mediaframereader
