Instacam

Instacam is a jQuery plugin to perform instant canvas video through the WebRTC API with a fresh touch of CSS filters.

Compatibility

Instacam is fully tested on Google Chrome for desktop (latest public released version). The plugin is compatible with browsers that natively support the HTML5 canvas tag, requestAnimationFrame API, HTMLMediaElement API, navigator.mediaDevices and Promises API. The CSS filtering requires the CSS filter features to properly work.

Official support on Chrome 52+, Firefox 52+, Edge 15+ and Opera 52+. Many other browsers may work, but are not extensively tested. You can check at any time the support table about the partial or full support of these features.

Dependencies

To ensure a stable running of Instacam, you need to have some requirements setted on your website.

1. Javascript library jQuery 1.3 minimum required, tested on 1.11+ and working fine with 2.0+
2. HTML5 doctype, not required, but better for a good W3C validation

Note that jQuery 2.0 or higher doesn't support IE 6/7/8 anymore.
