Assume one client wants to enable camera only and another client wants to enable microphone only.
How to set in Chrome / Firefox?
Firefox version >46.0 setting:
Right Click at the page you want > View Page Info > Permission (tab) > Use the Microphone -> Allow.
In Firefox, type about:permissions in the location/address bar to access the Permissions Manager, where you can set global as well as per-website permissions for several actions and devices including camera and microphone - See this support article.
I wouldn't know how to do so for Chrome.

i have a pwa where i am showing a standard input tag like below. this let user tap on it and get access to device camera. However, i want to open the camera as sooon as you open the webpage. is it possible?
current code:
<input type="file" accept="image/x-png,image/jpeg,image/gif" capture="camera"/>
Like Mathias said access to the camera is gated behind user permission.
Instead of an input tag like you are using you should really use the Media Capture API.
You have to get the user's permission to access the camera first. Once you have that permission you can connect to the camera and capture photos and video.
Note: Apple has disabled access to camera from homescreen web apps. No idea when they will turn this on. You can access the camera from regular Safari on iOS, just not from a homescreen web app even though it is the same engine.
I need to disable Flash for a test case where the user doesn't have Flash installed in Chrome.
Before updating, it worked fine with this option --disable-bundled-ppapi-flash.
But now it doesn't work.
How do I disable Flash?
Do the following on your Google Chrome, to disable Flash, or allow it for specific domains:
Option 1:
Navigate to chrome://settings/content and select the option you want in the Flash section.
Option 2:
Chrome Settings > Click Show advanced options... > Under Privacy click Content Settings... > See the Flash section.
There is an easy way.
Go to the url you want to block flash for
Click on icon "i" in front of the url
Change the flash to "Always block for this site"
I discovered something else that appears to disable Flash: Navigate to
chrome://flags/#prefer-html-over-flash
and set the flag that is highlighted (for "Prefer HTML over Flash") to "Enabled"
I have just done this and tested my computer on Do I Leak- and it reports that Flash is disabled
Sadly they removed interaction with plugins like that in chrome 57.
With web browsers being among the most frequently used pieces of
software out there, it's little wonder that there is so much concern
about security surrounding them. Browser plugins can be a major
security worry, and with Chrome 57 Google has taken the strange
decision to block users from disabling them or changing their
settings.
You can still get at the settings by navigating to: chrome://settings/content
Example:
Alternatively you can get there by visiting:
Chrome Settings > Show advanced options... > Content Settings > Flash
I am working on a product that uses the camera access from the browser. I need to create a help page for users so that if there is an issue they can check the browser camera settings.
Chrome browser has a very nice page for enabling and disabling camera access permissions for a website.
https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2693767?hl=en
Was wondering if there are similar pages for other browsers mainly Firefox or safari?
I am using HTML5 canvas, for a facial detection program. Every time I open the page, Chrome asks me if I want to allow access to my cam. I want to allow it and have Chrome remember so I don't have to keep confirming the prompt. I've already seen this link, but it doesn't work for me.
Yes, when Chrome asks you to allow the web app to use camera and microphone. The user must click in the options drop down menu and select "Always allow this site to use this microphone and this camera" instead of clicking on Allow or Deny buttons.
I am trying to get the Privacy Settings Tab to show in our flash/flex4 video chat application we are building. I have 2 systems with latest Flash installed (currently 11.1.102.62). However, the player always shows this (privacy popup question) instead of this (privacy settings tab) when loading the app. The reason i want the settings tab to show is because i need the end user to easily check the "remember" box.
I have tried to call Security.showSettings(SecurityPanel.PRIVACY); before as well as after the getCamera/getMicrophone calls but all that happens is we get 2 popups instead of 1. and still no "remember" option. Actually it doesnt show the privacy tab at all!
Searched tons of forums but have come up empty. I have also searched the adobe docs but all I find is a paragraph stating "if your computer or device doesn't support audio or video recording using Flash Player, you don't need to allow or deny access, and this panel doesn't appear". Which is hardly true since one of the systems we are testing with is a new Macbook Air running latest OSX.
Does anyone have any insight into why this might be happening and how to display the "Privacy Settings" and not the "Privacy pop-up question"?
It seems to be a bug in the current Flash player version. The popup freezes sometimes too.
I've educated users of my application to pre-set their settings.
