Can Progressive Web Apps leverage device cameras or microphones for capturing media?
Yes, Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) have the capability to leverage device cameras and microphones for capturing media. This capability is made possible through the use of the MediaStream API, which allows PWAs to access and manipulate audio and video streams from the device’s cameras and microphones. By requesting permission from the user, PWAs can utilize these device features to enable functionalities such as video calling, audio recording, or taking photos and videos. This enhances the user experience and enables PWAs to provide similar features as native applications without requiring installation from an app store.
