How to Activate HTML Webcam without using GetUserMedia()

Question

I'm trying to activate the user camera using HTML. All of the tutorials I've come across require GetUserMedia(), but it's deprecated and disabled on modern versions of Google Chrome. Is there a way to use the webcam on an HTML page without GetUserMedia()?

Answer 1

Yes you are right. The navigator.getUserMedia() has been deprecated. You have to use navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia() instead for this :)

Here's the MDN link:

Hope that works for you ^_^
