getUserMedia

You can access multimedia streams, such as camera, on a local device. The feature can be used, for example, for real-time communication, recording, and surveillance.

The main features of the getUserMedia API include:

• Retrieving multimedia streams

  You can use the navigator.webkitGetUserMedia() method to request user access to retrieve the multimedia streams of local devices, such as camera. The method returns the media as a JSON object.

• Capturing media

  You can capture media content and transform it to various formats.
