navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia is not working

问题:

I've been using webkitGetUserMedia method (getUserMedia through adapter.js) to get the camera nad microhpone for webRTC on my web app. My server is not secure (no SSL certificate). It all worked fine until I started getting an error saying : "getUserMedia() no longer works on insecure origins. To use this feature, you should consider switching your application to a secure origin, such as HTTPS. See https://goo.gl/rStTGz for more details."

I googled and I saw that now in Chrome I need to use navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia(). I'm using Chrome 47.0.2526.80 m, and on this page https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaDevices/getUserMedia it says that this method should be supported for this version. However when I call navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia I get undefined. So now I cannot use either method in Chrome.

Can anyone please help me with this issue. Thanks

As per new chrome update (From Google Chrome 47), getUserMedia() is no longer supported in chrome browser over http:// (Unsecure Origin) , It will work on https:// (Secure Origin)

For development purpose,

1.localhost is treated as a secure origin over HTTP, so if you're able to run your server from localhost, you should be able to test the feature on that server.

2.You can run chrome with the --unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure="http://example.com" flag (replacing "example.com" with the origin you actually want to test), which will treat that origin as secure for this session. Note that you also need to include the --user-data-dir=/test/only/profile/dir to create a fresh testing profile for the flag to work.

The last google-chrome update makes getUserMedia work only on secure origins. There is a method to make it work, but only for developing purposes. Just run chrome using cmd with thoses options

--unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure="example.com"

and this option to use a new user profile

--user-data-dir=/test/only/profile/dir

FYI getUserMedia work on firefox until now, but in my opinion, it will recommend a secure origin like google-chrome.

You can still use the old method name in Chrome 47, as long as you use https. The name change is orthogonal to 47's new secure-origin requirement. See other answers.

On the missing methods: navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia was put back under a flag in Chrome, so you must either turn on chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features or use a recent version of adapter.js, like here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/34230983/918910.
