# Use the camera

> Let players take a profile photo in PixelGames.

export const AiPrompt = ({children}) => {
  return <CodeBlock className="relative block font-sans whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">
      <div className="pr-7">
        {children}
      </div>
    </CodeBlock>;
};

export const cameraPrompt = "Let players set a profile photo for the leaderboard using their camera or photo library.";

<AiPrompt>
  {cameraPrompt}
</AiPrompt>

Adds a button on the player's profile that opens the camera or photo library, whichever they
prefer.

On iOS, the system prompt appears once. If declined, PixelGames can only ask again by sending
the player to **Settings → PixelGames → Camera**. On Android, the runtime permission dialog
can reappear on the next attempt, until the player checks "Don't ask again".
