4 years ago I understand the need, but I'm unfortunately not interested in adding this to Plash. First, it's only available for iOS at the moment, and second, it's a pretty big dependency, which comes with a lot of risks. For example, I will have to deal with any bugs in that implementation as users will not know or care that the fault is in a dependency.
Instead, I would follow https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=188360 and hope that Apple will realize it's important.

navigator.mediaDevices returns undefined.
See, e.g., https://webrtc.github.io/samples/src/content/devices/input-output/
Describe the solution you'd like
I don't know WebKit, but maybe this could be an approach:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=183201#c31
https://github.com/OpenTelecom/WKWebViewRTC
While that solution seems specific to iOS, maybe it could be adapted to macOS?
Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently, simply not using Plash but putting a QuickTime Player window behind all other windows. But using a web page in Plash for that would be much more convenient and configurable.
Additional context
Webcam support in Plash's browser would allow the creation of web pages that show the webcam on the desktop. This would be a great for online presentations: one can share the screen, use Plash with the webcam video as the desktop background, and play a presentation or do other things in windows on top.
