How to access webcams through Internet Explorer (11)?

Context: I am creating a standalone website (html5, css, js) that I want to call through IE (11). To receive / save the image, I need to access the webcam.

Approach: I read that IE does not support getUserMedia; and the only way is to use the flash.

Question: Is the only way to access the webcam via IE using flash? If so, please recommend an example.

I would be grateful for your contribution.

Yes, IE 11 and below does not currently support getUserMedia , but there is access to polyfill on github, which you can find here

It uses flash reserve in case getUserMedia unavailable, so you can try.

Update 1

Several poly regiments are available and are listed in the section.

webrtc4all and Temasys WebRTC can provide backups through the NPAPI / ActiveX plugin.
