Is it possible to enable the microphone or camera without asking for permission? #257

Hello WebUi Team, is it possible to enable the microphone or camera without asking the user for permission? I would like to embed voice chat in my game, then it would be a bit annoying for lay users to have to worry about giving permission...

Is there any way to do this?

For now, no. Unless you find a command line switch that enables it. Even then, it wont work for every browser, and the WebUI needs to support at least the major browsers and they all need to have the same functionality.

As name says, Web UI, is a user interface. Yes, you can write JS apps and run them in the browser, but the right way would be to make your app record the microphone, not the browser. And for that you dont need any permissions.

If your entire app is written in JS, why use WebUI? There are alternatives, such as Electron, which IIRC has the option to interact with devices without asking the user.

I guess --use-fake-ui-for-media-stream won't work. But normally browsers don't ask for permissions when using localhost. Are you sure @skinkairewalker your app prompt the permission on localhost?

In this case, I'm using https://jam.systems/ to create a voice chat.

Is your game written in TS?

I used construct3

Use TLS version of WebUI, and add OpenSSL libraries to your game, and this is far as WebUI can go. We can't change the web browser behavior. Sorry.
