Hi Kirupa,
Is it stopped to working at chrome in iPhone OS 13.4.1?
The website is hosted in https secured server. But when the users upgrade OS to 13.4.1 in their iPhone then it asking ‘Please install an external camera device’ when opening the site and doesn’t open camera. Please help to solve this issue.

Hi Kirupa,
DetectRTC.hasWebcam is getting false in chrome. Is the device.kind not considering “video”?. Can use any alternate one instead HTML5 video tag?
When testing with [https://webcamtests.com/](https://webcamtests.com/). It shows as in below screenshot. But I have checked this link after upgraded only.

No, there is no additional code needed. Just to clarify, does the example in this page work in your Android device?

Is that something about front camera or back camera? or about https:? because in localhost it runs on http:

Ah! The **http** part is the problem. It needs to be https, and there are articles online that explain how to get that enabled for localhost using whatever build/testing setup you have going 😀

Hey there - wondering if there is a way to display multiple streams on the same page? All from the same camera, same image. I tried to do this assigning a class instead of an id but I’m not getting much success:
https://codepen.io/kateladenheim/embed/preview/dyMdKOr?height=300&slug-hash=dyMdKOr&default-tabs=html,result&host=https://codepen.io
To be clear: I’m not trying to add a second webcam, just trying to get the same version to show up multiple times.
Thanks for your help!

Hello, do you have a tutorial about how to send that stream to a RTMP server?
Thanks

No - that gets too much into the weeds of whatever service you end up using. The closest is this article: [https://www.kirupa.com/html5/simple\_video\_chat\_with\_webrtc.htm](https://www.kirupa.com/html5/simple_video_chat_with_webrtc.htm)

Hey, This was awesome. I teach Carpentry and in 5 minutes with a little copy and pasting and some pruning I got it to work for my needs. 2 questions, can you select another video device? The default is the webcam on my laptop. I have a GoPro HERO 8 that I want to be able to display onto (into) chrome as a document camera work around. If I can do it, how? I basically need to identify a new source for the video… remember I’m a carpenter so go… s…l…o…w. Cheers, Peter

We’ll have to wait for the full instructions from Kirupa, but the short version is:
- You probably need [GoPro Webcam desktop utility](https://gopro.com/en/us/news/how-to-use-gopro-for-webcam).
- Use [`enumerateDevices`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaDevices/enumerateDevices) to pick from a list of video devices.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have the GoPro desktop utility and it will allow the go pro to be used in Zoom, go to meeting ect. I want to be able to use the camera outside of social media/meeting applications. I could use chrome to “host” the video.
I am not sure where in the HTML5 code to place the enumerateDevices command. I have tried several places but haven’t gotten it to execute. Any advice?
