I have implemented a user-to-user audio call system using this guide:
http://wern-ancheta.com/blog/2015/05/03/implementing-audio-calls-with-peerjs/
It is now completed and works perfectly on my site when using Google Chrome.
However when I try to connect to a user on IE 8 I receive the error:
Your browser does not support the audio element.
In Mozilla that call initiates, but does not connect.
One of the reasons I wanted to use peerjs is because I thought it would be cross-browser (and device) compatible.
Has anyone encountered this issue and have a clue as to why it is happening?
Thanks
The implementation of the web audio api in Mozilla is buggy as well. You should be very careful using web audio api with mozilla.

I'm using a JS plug-in called Annyang, a Speech Recognition tool and of course it requires a working mic. Everything works just fine with normal Internet connection, but when I disable my Internet Connection, the plug in won't work at any level. (and I did check the plug-in's JS file and found nothing that needs any Internet Connection to be functioned.
Is Chrome microphone supposed to be not working if there is no Internet Connection ? Or something is wrong with the plug-in..?
Thanks a lot for reading this question. Have a good day :)
It's not the microphone that needs internet connection,
it's google's implementation of speech-recognition API, which sends the recorded data to their server to get the computed STT.
Nothing you can do on your side, not an Annyang bug either.
I was searching for some solution to record audio inside of the browser and send for a webservice. I have found some solutions, but they only work for Chrome or Firefox. So, I wanna know:
Is there someway to record audio in SAFARI?
PS: I don't wanna use the tag video
What you are looking for is the getUserMedia API from WebRTC to access the user's microphone without any plugins. You can check out what browsers currently support the webrtc functionalities here: http://iswebrtcreadyyet.com/
At the moment it is not ready for safari.
The best support for webrtc is given by google because they are pushing this standard a lot.
I am using a WebRTC demo application for screen sharing. The demo works perfectly fine but when I try to run the same code in localhost or my own remote server, the code doesn't run.
Any ideas on how can I fix this issue?
Screensharing in Chrome only works over an SSL connection(). You can use a self-signed cert and simply accept it in your browser(this is for Chrome < M36).
Also, for Chrome >M36 you must now use the Chrome.desktopcapture API and the usual way of modifying media constraints and enabling screen-sharing in Chrome internals will not work in newer versions of chrome.
The API is farely simple and MUCH more robust than the previous given option in the media constraints.
I want to stream my webcam to my website. Maybe inside < video >, < embed >, or even < img > tag.
What would be the best way? I've tried VLC-player and webrtc.
The problem with VLC is that I cannot manage to stream outside my LAN. Inside my LAN it is working fine, but I cannot connect through the internet. And I also don't know how to implement it to my website.
The problem with webrtc is that it is not supported by ios. It works fine on windows and android, but is failing to run on iphones and ipads (I didn't tried it on mac, but I think it will work).
Maybe there is some code in javascript, html or something else?
For iOS devices, webrtc is not fully supported. However, you CAN build the Native C/C++ API for them and build a locally running applications that can access your stream(not from a webpage but currently your only option on iOS).
OSX, Windows, and Android's versions of Chrome should all work well together(I have tested this myself and have gotten streams to work between all those devices without issue) and access you stream.
For grabbing your camera's stream, you could grab it through chrome, continually stream and dynamically handle peer connections as they come in from your signalling server(you can use the same local stream for numerous peer connections). You could also use a natively built application using the WebRTC API but that will be more complex than manipulating your stream in chrome.
I'm trying to implement audio recording in a website. Basically the user should be able to press a button and speak something into the microphone. The recorded audio should then be sent to the server for further processing. I realise that you can do this with Flash, but for now I'm trying to avoid that.
I found several resources on the internet about it (i.e. link) but as it seems, this functionality is not widly supported yet. I experienced differences betweet the used browser and between the used operating system. For instance, the Chrome Browser doesn't seem to access any microphone on Linux correctly. So i was wondering if anyone knows a good resource to dive into this. Or maybe someone tried to set up something like this himself, and can help with some suggestions about where the limitations of HTML5 and the JavaScript Web Audio API are right now.
Thanks!
As of Chrome Version 27.0.1453.56 beta Mac, audio recording works with this demo application https://github.com/mattdiamond/Recorderjs
This app returns back a WAV file for the user which can be uploaded to the server.
If you want a truly robust solution that works on most desktop web browsers, you may need to resort to Flash.
This article covers up pretty well the current state of audio video capture possibilites using HTML5:

Also for just audio capture, here's a gitHub project that records audio to mp3 directly from the browser:
