Thank you for your answer Tab Atkins. Indeed, as you say, I see this as a proposal for the future. getUserMedia is perfect for these features, as you indicate. I will be alert to any news that occurs on this subject, for if I can contribute something. I think other proposals that may help improve the websites. A greeting and thanks. 2012/6/25 Tab Atkins Jr. <jackalmage@gmail.com> > On Mon, Jun 25, 2012 at 9:10 AM, Jesús Ruiz García > <jesusruiz2007@gmail.com> wrote: > > I start indicating that this message can be considered useless.
