Error "Getusermedia Is Not Implemented in This Browser" When Using the Camera Widget On a Self-Hosted Instance?

Issue

I am trying to use the camera widget on my self-hosted instance of Appsmith, but it gives me an error message saying “getUserMedia is not implemented in this browser”. However, when I tried the camera widget on app.appsmith.com, it worked fine. I reached out to the Appsmith community for support and they advised me to add HTTPS to my instance, which solved the issue.

Resolution

The user was trying to use the camera widget on their self-hosted instance of Appsmith, but was receiving an error message stating that getUserMedia is not implemented in this browser. The widget worked fine on the cloud version of Appsmith. 

This error occurs if you do not use HTTPS. The solution to this issue is to configure SSL.
