OBS Browser: How to Use Chrome Instead of Chromium

[ContentDeveloper]

I am led to believe the OBS Browser is Chromium.
Is there a way to use Chrome instead?

 

[Harold]

no, the browser source modules are coded to use CEF.

Thanks for the reply @#Harold!

Do you know if there is a way to get OBS Browser to NOT launch in --app mode, so the Infobar will be there.?
I am developing an app that uses speech recognition, and either mic access is denied, or speech recognition is denied, or both.

 

[Harold]

There's a launch option you can use that allows you to run with the browser source having access to mic, etc

 --enable-media-stream

It is currently unclear if you need one or two hyphens for the start of the option.

I had been using that switch already. Did not work for me.

Although, I did find a reference to a switch, —enable-speech-input, which got me closer because now I see an actual session gets started… but the console shows me there is a speech recognition “network” error.

hmmm….

started… but the console shows me there is a speech recognition “network” error.

Maybe your speech recognition needs a special port/connection to upload the bites to an web service? Possibly that connection/port isn't allowed for obs due to your firewall (just guessing). So you could switch off your firewall for just a moment to check if such condition...

I am within a corporate firewall… I’ll contact IT about trying that. Thx!

Uppps. =D For using web service (even complex one like speech recog) this is very important information!

I apologize. Not sure what you mean by “Uppps. =D”.
