Uppy: IE11: Webcam icon not working on Dashboard

Created on 29 Jul 2019  路  2Comments  路  Source: transloadit/uppy

I stumbled upon the bug (?) that the webcam icon is not being displayed while using ie11.

Additionally, the "my device" icon is only visible if another icon besides "my device" is shown. (e.g.: "google drive" is visible, which means the dashboard is showing "my device" and "google drive")

I wanted to display "webcam" only but now neither "webcam" or "my device" are being shown.

The Webcam icon only shows if we are actually able to record from the webcam using the MediaDevices API, which unfortunately is not available in any version of Internet Explorer.

When only "my device" is available, users are supposed to use the "browse" link, but maybe that's not ideal. I think it could look fine if the My Device thing was shown at all times (and we could remove that "browse" link too to reduce duplication). Maybe @arturi has an opinion on that too (who just back from vacation so may take some time to catch up on other stuff first).

Hi! We are planning a UI update, where adding just 1 provider (Webcam, Instagram) will likely look like this:
