Dual camera photos? (Front and back pics at same time)

I had an HTC phone years ago, which could take a picture from the front and rear camera simultaneously and place them side by side in the output image file. I loved this feature as it would capture my expression at the same time as a scene. If this mode is supported by Open Camera, I cannot figure out how to enable it. I read on some "blog" type website that it was supported, but I can't find any more info. Please help! If I need to raise a feature request, I'll do that next, if it isn't supported. P.S. simultaneous image capture isn't necessary, I think immediately sequential would also be perfectly fine.

It's not supported I'm afraid.
Maybe in future! Although note this is harder than it sounds - a lot of the Open Camera code assumes one camera being open at a time; also there's the problem that in general different cameras have different features, and one would have to work out what is a consistent subset of features to support. I don't know about the HTC example, but my Nokia 8 supported such a feature - IIRC both cameras had exactly the same features to avoid that problem - it's the sort of thing that manufacturers can do, but I don't have the luxury for a camera that's meant to work with any phone.
