No way to get access to user media devices (webcams and microphones) without having to use flag. Added a flag in PR #143. Would love to see this in the next release.

Any chances to be merged?
I need this feature to make face masks plugin. (needs web cam access from browser plugin).
Shall I start to make native plugin or there chances to merge?

Chromium/Chrome/CEF by default will prompt users for permission to use audio/video devices. This permission prompt can be bypassed by passing the --use-fake-ui-for-media-stream flag to Chromium/Chrome/CEF. Since we pass all user-specified flags to CEF, users can pass this flag to OBS to bypass the permissions prompt.

As we regard this to be unsafe default behavior, we will not add this to OBS as the default behavior. Furthermore, we don't consider this to be a bug, so I'll be closing this issue. For more information on our reasoning, see comments on #143.
