capture.devices

capture.devices readonly

Returns a table listing all available capture devices on the system. The table contains two fields:

video: an array of string values, each being the name of an available video capture device (e.g. a webcam)
audio: an array of string values, each being the name of an available audio capture device (e.g. a microphone)

The device names returned here can be passed directly to the Camera constructor to select a specific device.

Example

import capture

print("Available video devices:")
for name in each(capture.devices.video) do
    print("\t${name}")
end

print("Available audio devices:")
for name in each(capture.devices.audio) do
    print("\t${name}")
end
