Adding a barcode scanner to a Power Apps Canvas app is quite straightforward. If you're new to Power Apps, the easiest approach is to use the Barcode reader control.

Basic approach

In your Canvas app:

Open the app in Power Apps Studio.

Select Insert → Media → Barcode reader.

Add the Barcode reader control to your screen.

When the user scans a barcode, Power Apps makes the scanned value available through the control's Value property.
