Update an image on live using the camera

Hi everyone!

Is that possible to change an image from my app using the camera and update it on live? What I want to do is change/replace my game’s background image using the device camera. Is this possible with Corona?

I doubt that’s going to be possible. To use the camera, the app loads the camera app to collect the image. After it’s saved to your camera roll, Corona is able to open that photo and show it as a display object. The camera control will stay in the foreground until it’s dismissed.
