WebRTC Video Constraints Not Working

I'm trying to get a lower resolution from the webcam navigator.getUserMedia({audio: true, video: { 'mandatory' : {maxWidth : 320}, 'optional' : [] } }, fun

Solution 1:

There are numerous bugs that are being handled in Firefox for it not supporting programable video framerate and resolution changes.

• Allowing the framerate to be changed in the media constraints
• Support runtime change of video resolution
• Support plain numbers for the video resolution in the media constraints

You are supposedly able to set the constraints this way:

mediaConstraints = {
      "audio": true,
      "video": {
         width: {
             min: 320,
              max: 320
          },
          height: {
             min: 240,
              max: 240
          } }
    };

But I have never been able to get video resolution constraints to work it to work in Firefox through media constraints. I have had limited success with changing the default resolution in about:config in firefox.

These issues are known and I believe that numerous people are working on them to get them resolved.
