Hello,
A typical video chat application would contain some view finder code
similar to
the example in the Working Draft document:
<p>To start chatting, select a video camera: <device type=media
onchange="update(this.data)"></p>
<video autoplay></video>
<script>
function update(stream) {
document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0].src = stream.url; }
</script>
But assuming that the Stream is a combination of both audio and video
media this is
actually not what you want in a video chat, because you will also play
back your own
audio to yourself.
To solve this in our implementation we defined two fragments, "audio"
and "video",
for the Stream url. The application then can address a specific media
component
in the Stream like this:
document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0].src = stream.url + "#video";
Is there some other way to solve this?
You could mute the video element with
document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0].muted = true; (although a
muted="" attribute is probably also going to be added so you can do <video
autoplay muted>).
Anyone curiuos can find more information on what we have been
experimenting with here:
