// Check if the browser supports the necessary APIs
if (navigator.mediaDevices && navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia) {
  // Access the user's camera
  navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ video: true })
    .then(function (stream) {
      // Create a video element and set the stream as its source
      var videoElement = document.createElement('video');
      videoElement.srcObject = stream;
      videoElement.autoplay = true;
      document.body.appendChild(videoElement);

      // Create a media recorder to record the video
      var mediaRecorder = new MediaRecorder(stream);
      var chunks = [];

      // Start recording when the media recorder is ready
      mediaRecorder.ondataavailable = function (e) {
        chunks.push(e.data);
      };

      // Save the recorded video when the recording is stopped
      mediaRecorder.onstop = function () {
        var blob = new Blob(chunks, { type: 'video/webm' });
        var videoUrl = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
        // Do something with the recorded video URL (e.g., display it on the page or upload it)
      };

      // Start recording when a button is clicked
      document.getElementById('startRecordingBtn').addEventListener('click', function () {
        mediaRecorder.start();
      });

      // Stop recording when a button is clicked
      document.getElementById('stopRecordingBtn').addEventListener('click', function () {
        mediaRecorder.stop();
      });
    })
    .catch(function (error) {
      console.error('Error accessing camera:', error);
    });
} else {
  console.error('getUserMedia() is not supported by this browser.');
