Web viewer: Support webcam (and microphone)

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open web viewer
  2. Go to any site that requires camera (ie. meet.google.com)
  3. Turn on camera and select input source
    Notice how Google Meet doesn’t give you an error, but it’s clear that the camera doesn’t work.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Expected result

The camera to turn on and work

Actual result

The camera does not turn on. This is because Obsidian hasn’t requested access to the camera from the system

We currently do not support camera (nor microphone) in web viewer (and in website within canvas too).

Renamed and moved to FR.
