Webcam Snapshot
It's a brand new functionality for users in their Moodle environment. The plugin is free to download and in open source.
Briefly, the MFreak plugin avatar gives the user the possibility to take a snapshot with a live webcam. The user can then upload the picture and modify his profile picture at any time.
Besides this, there is also the facility to auto-generate Avatars.
As a bonus, an easy to follow tutorial was created, on how the user can install the block to his Moodle site and ultimately deploy it to a page for use.
Notes:
- The Plugin makes no database changes.
- The Plugin was developed with coding standards of Moodle.
Installation
Automatic avatar
Fix capabilities
If your students or some other role can't create an avatar.

Have I missed something?
There are no settings needed for this block.
Also in your version you can only add the block to http://yourmoodle/my [My moodle page].
New version can be download above.
- invalid setting link remove
- block can added to more pages then my home only
Thanks for the great block, 2 things
1 - On iPhone and iPad it shows the 'Install Flash' icon.
2 - The main page of taking a snapshot does not look like the screenshots above.. all I get is a box to show the camera and when we click save snapshot it adds a smaller box of the snapshot with saved across it.
I am facing the same issue (#2) of the large box and smaller box as Simon Bertoli. And my snapshot, after saving as the image inside the smaller box, doesn't show up in the block.
@simon: If you know how I can let it work on IOS would be create, they don't support WebRTC. And even think there is no browser based solution for only from a app this should be possible.
Will Webcam Snapshot work on Moodle 2.9? I would really like to use it.
