Enable microphone and webcam

[winapiwrapper]

Hello,

I'd like to activate the microphone for speech input on this page: https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/demos/speech.html (the Google's Web Speech API Demo).

I tried to pass --enable-media-stream via command line and handling OnBeforeCommandLineProcessing, but the microphone still doesn't work.

Code: Select all

void OnBeforeCommandLineProcessing(const CefString& process_type, CefRefPtr<CefCommandLine> command_line) OVERRIDE {
   command_line->AppendArgument("enable-media-stream");
}

So my question, how to actually enable the microphone and the webcam for CEF?

Thank you in advance.

Web Speech API is only available in Google Chrome. See https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/api-keys

Thank you for your answer!

I tried with other websites by passing --enable-media-stream directly to CEF and it works fine, but is there a way to do it with OnBeforeCommandLineProcessing? Seems that appended arguments in this method are not passed to CEF.

Use AppendSwitch instead of AppendArgument.

Thank you very much, it works like a charm!

Hi I am trying to enable the microphone functionality on unity with CEF and enabled --enable-media-stream as well but it does not work. May i get some help on this. Hoping to hear from you soon. Thanks in advance

Setting the chromium option --use-fake-ui-for-media-stream worked for me.

If you are using Microsoft Windows you also have to turn microphone access on and allow desktop apps to access it in windows settings.
Then for each site you want to allow access to, visit it first in chrome and allow it via the popup prompt.

A convenient site for testing is https://www.onlinemictest.com/

I tried using "enable-media-stream" which works good for me but is there a way to enable microphone & webcam separately instead of enabling both using a single flag?
