GetUserMedia failed from extension

[Ramasundar Kandasamy]

Hi,

I am developing a chrome extension to (WebRTC) call someone.

But getusermedia fails with "[object NavigatorUserMediaError]" error.

Did any one experience such an error?

Is it possible to do webrtc (audio) call within an extension?

Thanks and BR

Is going the packaged apps the only workaround for this?

Correct, it is not supported for extensions currently, only packaged apps.

Hi,

One thing you might try is having your extension load a window.open popup window to utilize WebRTC.  For instance, in packaged apps, although getUserMedia can capture the camera and mic, it can't capture the screen, so as a workaround, I used a popup window for screen sharing.

Since getUserMedia isn't available at all in extensions, you could use that same workaround for capturing the mic and camera.  Hope this helps!

Before version 28 (not sure in the exact version, because it just suddenly stopped working), we were able to use getUserMedia without any issue in an extension on Windows. Now we have permission denied.
