detach and reattach camera/canvas
KeiPG opened this issue · 3 comments
Hello @xavierjs ,
hope you can help us again.
We need to be able to use the camera in other parts of our project.Is there a way to to detach and reattach the camera to the JFT?
We are hoping you would be able to tell us how we could do this.
Many Thanks ,
Kei
Hi KeiPG,
I have added the JEEFACETRANSFERTAPI.get_video() method so that you can get the <video> element linked to the camera video feed.
Then you can pause Weboji to save resources, hide the canvas using CSS and use this video element for another use.
I advise to not do multiple getUserMedia request on the same page, many implementations of mediaStream API are not good. You should keep 1 getUserMedia request and use the same <video> element.
If you need front/back camera or different resolution it would be better to do a multi-page app (even if it is not encouraged by React and all these kind of shit) to force the browser to free the camera access.
Best,
Xavier

No worries, I was closing the issue since I had added a stuff to fix it.
Feel free to ask questions about the library here (or links to the demos you did with it).
