Symptom

When using the Vonage Video API within embedded iFrames on Chrome 64, Chrome requests camera and microphone access.

Applies To

• Chrome 64
• Embedded iFrames
• Permissions

Resolution

If you are using webRTC applications embedded within iFrames that were created prior to the release of Chrome 64, you need to modify these applications to allow access to the camera and microphone by adding this code to your iFrame tag:

allow="microphone; camera"

An embed iFrame will now look like this:

<iframe
          src="https://...."
          width=640
          height=480
          allow="microphone; camera"></iframe>

Cause

With Chrome 64, there was a change introduced to force iFrames to explicitly request camera and microphone access. New embeds generated using the Account Portal after the Chrome 64 release are compliant with the change, however embeds in use prior to the release need to be modified.
