getUserMedia()

Finally on Chrome Stable.

http://www.html5rock...sermedia/intro/

This awesome API is finally on Chrome Stable, which means the other browsers are soon to follow (hopefully). Hooray! No more need to use plugins to capture video. I can't wait to see people cook up simple JavaScript-based video chatrooms.

Edit: I'm late to the party. Chrome 21 came out 6 days ago.

Firefox and Opera have already had support for a while, so we're just waiting on Safari and IE. ANYWAY, have you made anything cool with this?

Edit 2: This probably belongs in Tech News Talk, but oh well.

Why is no one else excited about this!? I am completely excited! Next stop, mobile.

Edit: Anyone know if this is plausible? I would guess that the iOS camera API would wouldn't be accessible via a webview. Since google is the mother of Android though, it seems they would be able to easily allow this.

Thanks for moving it.

I know; can you imagine using cameras as a kind of weak authentication for a WEB APP?

Microsoft is already throwing multiple spanners in the works: http://gigaom.com/20...oft-webrtc-w3c/
Having said that, if I'm getting the gist of that article right, I sort of agree with MS that it shouldn't be built to be VP8 codec specific.

In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years

Obviously, you'd need to give permission for the browser to access your camera and microphone, yeah? I mean, I don't want websites using that sort of thing without me knowing.

Although, Google will probably use it anyway for who knows what....

Yes, it asks permission just like it does when tracking location data.

Tracks what I search, tracks who I email, tracks who I talk to, tracks what videos I watch, tracks where I go (location/maps). Why not track what I look like?!

*bow*. Na seriously, half the time I'm just joking around. Trust me, I am NOT one of those conspiracy nutters that literally that just cannot accept reality for what it is. I do believe however, that there are many things we do not get told. Obviously.

Please inform me as to how those "blunt statements" were wrong.

In what way? I don't think I've ever brought up any conspiracies on this forum! All I've done is joke a couple of times about things such as this, and the fact that hard drives can't be erased.
