Hello,

an idea arose - to take screenshots from a computer webcam, a person enters the service - presses the button to take a screenshot, the camera is activated, takes a screenshot - it is saved.

How to implement this using a flash player is understandable, but I would like to get a cross-platform solution available on both tablets and smartphones (not native applications, but a mobile version of the service).

The question is, is it possible to take a screenshot without using a flash player, for example, using JS?

On mobile platforms, through JS, pull the camera of a smartphone (tablet) without native tools? Yah.

For example, you can record audio this way: wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Jetpack/JEP/18 Is there an alternative for video?
