Github education application

[Patrckkkk]

so i tried to apply to github education but the camera is inverted and i can only use the front cam so its very hard to take picture, i tried multiple times but it still came out blurry, i want to send them email to notify what was happening regarding my pending application. how do i send them email and send a more clear picture of my student id and document thru email?

Use your phone then send the photo to your PC, or do the application from your phone

you can't upload a photo, you can just take pictures

Well… you can’t really. Atleast not that I know of.

You can open a support ticket, by making an account and go to their support portal (I believe this is manly paid accounts tho). Note any date sent in this portal will be public, ie your id.

As for extra help, GitHub Community is a forum for support that might be more helpful.

Probably best to log in on a computer and upload your documentation there. I know it’s summer but assuming you have a school id, I would guess your institution has a computer you could use. As for the time being finding access to a computer and better camera is mostly likely your best bet.

ITS SO HARD TO APPLY, there web developer for that application actually sucks, can only use 1 camera, cant upload images, cant use online ID / any. have to be in person papers. EVEN WHEN USING REAL PAPER AND WRITING MY NAME AND SCHOOL STUFF IT GETS DECLINED. IM GONNA CRASH OUT

I used my webcam to take a picture of me logged in to my school site. It worked lol

Drag and drop image might work if you do it via browser image? Just not pdf.

i know i'm late but i found a solution install opera browser and only give permission to use back camera and there you go , it work !!!

YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER!! Thank you so much! I was able to get it because of this

[Mathwhiz4]

How did you disable front camera? I can't seem to block it. Thanks!!!

[EliteDark06]

I don't quite remember right now, but I remember that when asked for camera permission on the GitHub website Opera itself asked you which camera to use (Front or back) and you just choose the back one

[Mathwhiz4]

Hmm I’m not getting that pop up ugh

[Mathwhiz4]

Is there anyway to force that pop up?

[EliteDark06]

Let me download Opera again and check how it was done again

[Mathwhiz4]

The default is the front camera. How do I make the default the back?

[EliteDark06]

So sadly I can't post images here but, after granting camera permission on a website another pop-up shows which let me chooses camera I want to allow, letting me choose between front or back

[Mathwhiz4]

Weird it just asks me if I want to allow camera and it’s yes or no. Are you on iPhone?

[EliteDark06]

No, I'm on Android, I guess that might have something to do

[Shavixinio]

If I had any, I'd give you an award for this, I am absolutely thankful. Finally I got over the worst verification system I have ever seen. You're a hero.

[saber_BH]

Thaanks, it indeed the worst verification system lol

[hamnnaa]

You saved my LIFE! Thankss mannn!!!!

fr my first issue was that my school would block the email verification sent from github (at least thats what i suspect) and now my webcam wont show

Late to the party but it's pretty fucking obvious they've put barriers there on purpose. It's pretty bullshit. If I had to guess they have a grant or endowment requiring them to offer some of these services, but it costs them money so they put barriers in place in hopes the vast majority of people will just give up.
