Hello All,

I have been searching over forums to automate an option eg: `/take_picture` on Telegram bot. Which starts mobile's/Webcam(laptop)'s camera ON and takes photo automatically(like banks doing for video KYC etc these days), once photo is taken its sent to Telegram bot.

I have been searching in here forums and looked into couple of threads eg: [From webcam image to file [for Telegram bot]](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/from-webcam-image-to-file-for-telegram-bot/50300) AND [Taking a picture and sending it via telegram](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/taking-a-picture-and-sending-it-via-telegram/27905) but not getting much help from them.

Thank you for your guidance and help here as always 👍

Thanks,  
Ravinder Singh
