How do I pick photos and videos from the gallery in .NET MAUI?▼

To pick media in .NET MAUI, use MediaPicker.Default to present the native gallery and process the returned FileResult for cross-platform photo and video selection. It supports single and multi-select workflows.

Can I capture photos directly from the camera in a MAUI app?▼

Yes, you can capture photos in a MAUI app using MediaPicker.Default. First check IsCaptureSupported to verify device camera availability, then execute the capture request on the UI-thread to ensure proper cross-platform execution.

The MAUI MediaPicker provides cross-platform permission guidance for Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows, ensuring consistent FileResult handling and proper access when selecting media or capturing from the camera across different operating systems.

How do I configure image resizing and selection limits when picking media in MAUI?▼

You can configure image resizing, selection limits, metadata preservation, and titles in MAUI by passing MediaPickerOptions to MediaPicker.Default, allowing fine-grained control over the media selection and capture process.

Why does my MAUI media picker throw an exception when capturing photos?▼

MAUI media picker exceptions during capture often occur when UI-thread usage is not enforced or IsCaptureSupported is not checked first. Always run MediaPicker.Default operations on the UI-thread to prevent cross-platform errors.
