Hi folks, will access to the webcam / mic ever work inside a browser widget?

Whats the story / limitation with that?

Thanks,

Tom

Fortunately, this is meanwhile the same "problem" for all browsers (and thus the browser widget):
There is no way to get access without user's permission.

So you have to find a cross browser solution (javascript) that matches your needs, for example https://github.com/jhuckaby/webcamjs
and then can use that from LC by doing javascript in the widget.

thank you i will look into this possible workaround thanks

A couple years have passed by and I hope there is a solution for this. How can the user give permission? Normally, when accessing a website that requires some permissions it will prompt you a permission request dialog. The user clicks Allow and that's done. LC doesn't show the give permission popup window. Any ideas of how to show that popup?
