Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: Could not start video source openUserMedia

[sonricardo]

the error brings me to this function:
(when clicking on "cameraBtn" Button)

const stream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia(
{video: true, audio: true});

I tried on android browser and works fine, but in my pc doesnt work, any one knows why ???

Silly question but does your PC have a camera and microphone? Also, is this in IE or another browser?

I have same experience. My camera shows on Opera browser but shows error on Chrome and other browsers with this error on chrome ("navigator.getUserMedia error: DOMException: Could not start video source")

[jainketan6333]

("navigator.getUserMedia error: DOMException: Could not start video source")
("navigator.getUserMedia error: DOMException: Permission denied by system.")

these exception come only when your application don’t have webcam and mic permissions at system/os level.

If you are facing this issue with MAC PC, then please go in System Preferences-> Security & privacy -> privacy window-> go to camera option then select your browser name and restart your browser.

In case of windows, i dont know the exact steps but there should an option in settings to allow camera and mic permission for apps.

Hope this helps.

I did it by reinstalling the camera.
