One more clarification: this is for chromeDesktopSource - I do not believe you'll have to use chooseDesktopMedia or create an extension to get access to the webcam video or audio stream. This is just about desktop media (screen, tab or app window) access.
- cpncrunch 12y agoI can't find any reference to chromeDesktopSource anywhere - is that correct? Currently there is a prompt every time when you request the desktop chromeMediaSource: 'screen' - it says something like 'Allow this web page to share your screen'. It definitely does not just grab your screen automatically with no prior warning. According to the WebRtc bug report the ONLY way you will now be able to access the desktop is via an extension. Chrome are doing this because they believe there are too many risks in desktop sharing, and even putting a bigger, scarier warning isn't sufficient because many users apparently ignore warnings.
