Compatibility with web browsers

Some features or functionalities of FinSL-signbank are not supported by all web browsers. This page is intended to list some of the restrictions and propose solutions for fixing the issues (if any exist).

The video recording feature

This feature is not supported by all web browser + operating system combinations.

The feature is built on https://github.com/muaz-khan/RecordRTC which utilizes getUserMedia(), you can check the latest browser support for getUserMedia() from http://caniuse.com/#feat=stream

This is a list of working operating system + web browser combinations for this feature, according to our own tests. This list is not intended to be kept up to date, we hope that the support for this becomes better in the future by the efforts of web browser development.

• Chrome and Opera require HTTPS for getUserMedia()
• To get webm/vp8 videos to work in Internet Explorer, download https://tools.google.com/dlpage/webmmf/
• To get webm/vp8 videos to work in Safari, download http://perian.org/ Perian project has been abandoned, one could give it a try if desperate.
