Hi hello Krilnon, I saw your code on how to create and set up a live stream. I test it out and only the gray box is showing, I don’t see any popup or button for me allow the code access to the webcam. What should I do to fix the problem? I am using sublime text 3 on windows 7.

What browser are you using? Do you have a link to your example? 🙂

Hey schmolck! I honestly don’t remember posting code like that here. Mind sending a link? Or maybe it’s something @kirupa wrote?

Does it work in other browsers? What specific version of Internet Explorer are you using? It could be that Internet Explorer doesn’t support the APIs needed to display the webcam!
