public static function RequestUserAuthorization(mode: UserAuthorization): AsyncOperation;
public static AsyncOperation RequestUserAuthorization(UserAuthorization mode);

Parameters

Description

Request authorization to use the webcam or microphone in the Web Player.

For security reasons (to avoid implementing a web player spying on users), we require you to have the user explicitly allow these features in the web player. To do so, you need to call Application.RequestUserAuthorization, which shows a dialog box to the user, and wait for operation to complete before being able to use these features. Use Application.HasUserAuthorization to query the result of the operation.

	function Start() {
		// Request permission to use both webcam and microphone.
		yield Application.RequestUserAuthorization (UserAuthorization.WebCam | UserAuthorization.Microphone);

if (Application.HasUserAuthorization(UserAuthorization.WebCam | UserAuthorization.Microphone)) { // we got permission. Set up webcam and microphone here. } else { // no permission. Show error here. } }
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { IEnumerator Start() { yield return Application.RequestUserAuthorization(UserAuthorization.WebCam | UserAuthorization.Microphone); if (Application.HasUserAuthorization(UserAuthorization.WebCam | UserAuthorization.Microphone)) { } else { } } }

Note that web player is not supported from 5.4.0 onwards.
