Audio and Video record buttons for webcam

[scottnash]

Currently the Webcam allows these options for the modes

video-audio - Record a video file, capturing both audio and video.
video-only - Record a video file with the webcam, but don’t record audio.
audio-only - Record an audio file with the user’s microphone.
picture - Take a picture with the webcam.

And it says, "By default, all modes are allowed." but if I include video-audio, I lose ability to record audio only. The record button always records video and audio together. Is it possible to include the option to record video with audio and the ability to record just audio?

Hi! Thanks for your suggestion! The issue has been raised and discussed here #198, #143.

I think our consensus was this:

1. Webcam records video+audio, we could add a “mute” button to not record sound.
2. “Audio only” gets it’s own plugin, because people won’t think to click on “Webcam” and then choose “audio only” there, vs having a separate “Mic” or “Audio” plugin with a waveform while recording.
3. We’ll also hopefully have a screencast recording feature as a separate plugin as well.
