+x eljones96 - 2/24/2021I am planning to run an experiment in which I ask participants to upload a photo of themselves (that they believe other participants will be evaluating) but due to HIPAA I do not actually want to save the photo upload. Is there a way to automatically delete/not save participant data file uploads (but save the rest of the data from the task)?Thanks!

It does have the capability to take a snapshot with a device's built-in camera per /photocapture, but that does not appear to be what you're referring to. (Further, Inquisit would have no ability to actually display the image captured from the camera.)Could you please clarify your question?

Taking a snapshot with a device's built-in camera should work since I would not need Inquisit to display the snapshot.What does Inquisit do with the snapshot? Would it be possible for Inquisit to take a snapshot but not actually save it as part of the ultimate data file?Thanks!

I haven't tested this on all possible operating systems and devices, but something like this should theoretically work.
