The new Media Injection widget for Genymotion SaaS is here!

2026-06-04

Testing camera-dependent features on cloud-based virtual devices has always been a bit of a challenge. Whether an application requires scanning a QR code, capturing a live photo for KYC verification, or testing video streaming capabilities, simulating real-world camera inputs in the cloud is mandatory for thorough testing.

With this in mind, the latest addition to the toolset is introduced: the Media Injection widget; now officially live on Genymotion SaaS!

What is the Media Injection widget?

Until now, manipulating the camera feed on virtual cloud devices often required complex tweaks and workarounds. The process was intended to be made seamless and flexible for workflows.

The Media Injection widget gives two ways to feed the camera of Genymotion SaaS virtual devices:

1. Upload media files: Instantly inject custom images or video files directly from a computer. 2. Stream live feed: Connect and stream directly from an own physical host webcam straight into the virtual device in real-time.

The feature is accessible right from a web browser’s device interface. The feature empowers developers, QA engineers, and security researchers to mock or live-stream camera inputs in just a few clicks.

How to get started

Using the new widget is easy:

1. Launch a virtual device on Genymotion SaaS. 2. Locate the new Media Injection icon in the interactive right-hand toolbar. 3. Choose an input: Choose a media from a computer or use your webcam (make sure to grant a browser permission!). 4. Open an Android app and trigger the camera. An uploaded media or live webcam feed will instantly appear as the live camera.

Our mission is to provide powerful, flexible, and reliable tools to build, test, and debug Android apps in the cloud. Integrating these capabilities directly into a browser workspace is another big step toward maximizing development efficiency.
