How to access webcam from code?

Question

JavaScript

I'm just starting to learn JavaScript, so don't kick too hard.
I am writing a bot for Telegram on Node.js .
The task of the bot on command is to send a photo that is in the folder with the bot.
A snapshot should be taken by the webcam once every two minutes (ideally, by the same command), and added to a folder, replacing the previous one. At the moment, working with the webcam is done through special software for the camera, but I really want to avoid this kind of intermediaries, and work with the camera directly from the code.
Question:
1) Is this possible with Node.js?
2) What library \ module allows you to get the specified functionality?
3) Or is it better to look towards other languages? What?
