    This document discusses enabling access to a device's microphone and camera from local, unsecure origins in Chrome. It explains that Chrome's security policy only allows access to these devices from secure origins over HTTPS or localhost. However, this can cause issues when developing locally using Vagrant, where sites may be configured under different named origins. The document then provides steps to ignore Chrome's secure origin policy by navigating to a specific Chrome flag and enabling insecure origins to be treated as secure after adding any local addresses requiring access.

    Chrome’s security policy will only allow you to access your


    device’s microphone/camera when a site’s has a secure origin.
    See here for a detailed explanation about what a secure (and
    unsecure) origin is. In summary; you need to host your site on
    https or called localhost (for when in development).

    This can cause problems if you’re using a dev environment like


    Vagrant. You could have many named local websites configured.
    Moving them all over to localhost could be a real pain; both
    impractical and time consuming.

    To ignore Chrome’s secure origin policy, follow these steps.

    1. Navigate to `chrome://flags/#unsafely-
    treat-insecure-origin-as-secure` in Chrome.

    2. Find and enable the `Insecure origins treated


    as secure` section (see below).

    3. Add any addresses you want to ignore the


    secure origin policy for. Remember to
    include the port number too (if required).

    4. Save and restart Chrome.
