HTTP + Camera Access is deprecated
- HTTP + Camera Access is deprecated: As you may or may not know, most browsers supporting WebRTC will not grant access to the camera via WebRTC for host websites running on HTTP. Our recorder will automatically fallback to Flash which can still access the camera even when using HTTP. However, starting with Chrome v60, this will not work anymore. Chrome will now decline access to the camera when being accessed via HTTP, disregrading of whether it being Flash or WebRTC. Other browsers are likely to follow suit in the near future. Therefore, we highly encourage you to upgrade your website to SSL if you haven't done so already.
- LetsEncrypt: While there are different vendors that allow you to add SSL to your website, we suggest you to check out LetsEncrypt.org - they are open-source as well as a free certificate authority allowing you to quickly obtain a free SSL certificate for your website(s). How to install an SSL certificate on your webserver depends on your specific configuration and should be discussed with the technical adminstrator of your site.
- Safari will support WebRTC in version 11: Apple announced that Safari will finally get support for WebRTC in version 11 coming this fall. There is nothing you need to do about this, except to enjoy this news as much as we do.
- Revision 26 has support for streaming WebRTC: We also wanted to let you know that our JS SDK has beta support for streaming WebRTC. Read more about it here.
