Describe the bug
The WebRTC testing feature is not accessing the user's video or audio, so the video/audio testing portion of the feature is not usable.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Download and open the app
  2. Navigate to WebRTC tab
  3. Select 'Video' from dropdown
  4. Click 'Connect'
  5. Note that no permissions are asked to access camera or microphone, so no way to test user media for WebRTC connection

Expected behavior
The app would ask permission to access your camera/microphone so it could host a video/audio stream from your computer and test a connection with another peer.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • MacOS Ventura 13.4.1
  • Chrome
  • Version 19
