Webcam example don't work because of https

[jcubic]

In Google Chrome to use a webcam you now need to serve the website over https.

Came here to report this (that webcome isn't working, didn't look in to reason). Chrome 64 here.

I really don't see how this is related to the plugin. Normally browsers like chrome and firefox will never allow non-https sites to run webrtc after Chrome 47+ version. This is their secure origin policy.
Although you can do some hack for this with some changes in ngnix.cong file but am not sure you'd want to go that far.

the point is the demo/example is broken, and needs to be updated.

Obviously this is how Chrome works. The example just hasn't been updated since before chrome had that requirement.

@kylebakerio if that's the case then instead of waiting for the fix, you can install the free let's encrypt certificate on your server, it'll only take 5 minutes and lasts for 90 days.
Renewal is also free

Yes the issue is about demo that runs on http (see the title of the issue), it's not the code itself or your website that use the library.

Also, most of the demos are broken in general. Several work, but many don't.
