How to check if a user has webcam or not using JavaScript?
To check if a user has webcam or not using JavaScript, we can use the navigation.getUserMedia method.
For instance, we write:
navigator.getUserMedia({
video: true
}, () => {
console.log('has webcam')
}, () => {
console.log('no webcam')
});
to call it with { video: true } and callbacks that’s run if a webcam is present and if the webcam isn’t present respectively.
Therefore, if the user’s device has a webcam, then 'has webcam' is logged.
Otherwise, 'no webcam' is logged.
