Question about barCode.scanBarCode
Dear sir
I'm developing Teams mobile application, static tab(Personal app Tab).
We need a QR scan feature. However I can't use that.
barCode.isSupported() is always false.
Is there any restriction on static tab app?
Here are my conditions.
-. "import { app, authentication, barCode } from '@microsoft/teams-js';" . version : 2.37.0
-. manifest.json : "devicePermissions": ["media"],
-. app.initialize() is sucessfully done. I can see the barCode object
Unfortunatly, barCode.isSupported() shows false.
Android, iOS has the same result.
Can you advise how I can use the barCode camera.?
Many thanks

Hi BHS ,
according to the official documentation, Microsoft Teams support for QR or barcode scanner functionality is only available on mobile clients. However, there is no explicit mention of whether this feature is supported specifically for Static Tabs (Personal App Tabs).
We noticed that the sample provided in the documentation also uses a Personal Tab. Could you please try running this sample (Microsoft-Teams-Samples/samples/TeamsJS/tab-product-inspection at main · OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples) on your end and let us know if it works for you?
Dear Sir
Thank you for your reply
Yesterday, I found barCode module is beta(... "Do not use this API in a production environment.")
(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/%40microsoft/teams-js/barcode?view=msteams-client-js-latest&viewFallbackFrom=msteams-client-%E2%80%A6).
Instead, I can successfully scan a QR code by using the existing media.scanBarCode.
However, It has another issue . API deprecated (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/@microsoft/teams-js/media?view=msteams-client-js-latest)ㅇI wonder if MS Teams will provide a sufficient grace period for a gradual migraition
Many thanks
