I am playing around with HTML Media Capture and the getUserMedia
method. It is not working with Chrome and I get the alert included on failure.
Here is the sample code I used:
if (navigator.getUserMedia) {
navigator.getUserMedia(
// constraints
{
video: true,
audio: true
},
// successCallback
function (localMediaStream) {
var video = document.querySelector('video');
video.src = window.URL.createObjectURL(localMediaStream);
// Do something with the video
video.play();
},
// errorCallback
function (err) {
console.log("The following error occured: " + err);
}
);
} else {
alert("getUserMedia not supported by your web browser or Operating system version");
}
The standard navigator.getUserMedia is not recognized on Chrome. it works with Microsoft Edge. You will need to add vendor prefixes.
for Chrome: navigator.webkitGetUserMedia
Here is a working code on JSFiddle
https://jsfiddle.net/RamiSarieddine/t9d3hpyr/
//browser support check "ms" vendor function is for IE8
navigator.getUserMedia = ( navigator.getUserMedia ||
navigator.webkitGetUserMedia ||
navigator.mozGetUserMedia ||
navigator.msGetUserMedia );
if (navigator.getUserMedia) {
navigator.getUserMedia(
// constraints
{
video: true,
audio: true
},
// successCallback
function (localMediaStream) {
var video = document.querySelector('video');
video.src = window.URL.createObjectURL(localMediaStream);
// Do something with the video
video.play();
},
// errorCallback
function (err) {
console.log("The following error occured: " + err);
}
);
} else {
alert("getUserMedia not supported by your web browser or Operating system version");
}
navigator.getUserMedia
has been superseded by navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia
.
The latter uses modern promises and is available natively in Edge, Firefox, and Chrome. There is also adapter.js, the official WebRTC polyfill that helps them catch up to the standard (e.g. srcObject
).
Here is a fiddle that works in all three: https://jsfiddle.net/srn9db4h/
var constraints = { video: true, audio: true };
navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia(constraints)
.then(stream => video.srcObject = stream)
.catch(e => console.error(e));
It is not working with Chrome
Try using webkit
, moz
prefixes , see Navigator.getUserMedia()
navigator.getUserMedia = navigator.getUserMedia ||
navigator.webkitGetUserMedia ||
navigator.mozGetUserMedia;
if (navigator.getUserMedia) {
//do stuff
}
