Webcam doesn't work on safari

If someone that uses a mac could debug and fix this, that's be super cool

Be sure to put in "dead text" like if an <img> doesn't show up.
Second m'neils request, I tried super hard to get iOS and osx to be useful devices, but I failed. If it helps, look in to something called HLS for apple compat.
Well here you go: Safari (and several others) do not support the webm format. Unless we change the source (or provide an alternate) or do something crazy on the front-end, I think we're stuck.

I think this was probably fixed by our latest webcam edits. I don't see why it wouldn't work on Safari with our new design.
Doesn't work for my Safari

Yea that is part of another issue for getting certs for the cam computer
Does it actually not work on Safari or does it just print that message out?
Tested on jazz's phone it does not. I assume they block it completely . (Where chrome just gives you a warning)
Yeah nothing even showed up. @Squeakrats , I'm pretty sure it's an iOS problem and not a browser problem in the context of phones. But yeah, Safari didn't work on my laptop.
Closing for now, re-open if we intend to fix at some point.
