As you can see in the above example, the component will request permissions for video/audio input - so it prompts the user for access to their microphone and camera upon component mount.The getUserMedia browser API used to get the video/audio is only available in secure contexts (HTTPS).

​
Features

  • Synchronizes state with the HTML5 video element
  • Keyboard hotkeys (B to toggle whether the broadcast is enabled, L to toggle audio, V to toggle video, D to broadcast display media, C for next video source, M for next audio source)
  • Adheres to WAI-ARIA design patterns
  • Handles all common browser APIs, and old WebKit/Firefox APIs (see caniuse)
The Broadcast above will work with only keyboard shortcuts, without any custom controls.
