- Param [refreshDevices]
Force a call to refresh available video devices even when information is already available, defaults to false
- Param [cameraAlreadyAccessed]
Hint that a camera has already been accessed before, avoiding a possible initial camera access permission request on the first call, in cases this cannot be already reliably detected, defaults to false
Get a list of cameras (if any) available on the device, a camera access permission is requested to the user the first time this method is called if needed.
If the browser is incompatible the returned promise is rejected with a UnsupportedBrowserError error.
When refreshing available devices, if updated deviceId information is detected, cameras’ deviceId are updated accordingly. This could happen after a camera access and stop in some situations.
