Description

The wpforms_pro_forms_fields_camera_field_wait_time_seconds filter adjusts the countdown timer that appears before the Camera field captures a photo or video.

By default, the Camera field uses a 3-second countdown. You can use this filter to increase or decrease that wait time, or even remove it completely.

Parameters

parametertypedescription
$wait_timeint (required)Number of seconds before the snapshot. Default is 3

Source

wpforms/src/Pro/Forms/Fields/FileUpload/Field.php

More Information

This filter is applied to the countdown timer value shown in the Camera field before a snapshot or video recording begins.

Developers can use this to:

  • Shorten the countdown for faster captures
  • Lengthen the countdown to give users more prep time
  • Set it to 0 for instant captures with no wait

Example

/**
 * Change the Camera field countdown timer before capturing.
 *
 * @link   https://wpforms.com/developers/wpforms_pro_forms_fields_camera_field_wait_time_seconds/
 *
 * @param int $wait_time Number of seconds before the snapshot (default is 3).
 * @return int

function wpf_dev_camera_field_wait_time( $wait_time ) {
    
    // Set countdown to 5 seconds
    return 5;
}
