Windows Camera is an image and video capture utility included with the most recent versions of Windows and its mobile counterpart. It has been around on Windows-based mobile devices since camera hardware was included on those devices and was introduced on Windows PCs with Windows 8, providing users for the first time a first-party built-in camera that could interact with webcam hardware. It is similar in structure and features to the iOS and Android Camera apps.

Starting with Windows 10, Windows Camera not only captures photos and videos but also scans QR codes, barcodes, physical documents, and whiteboards.
