These are the various steps to follow in order to write code that allows you to capture photos using only html and javascript
. Use getUserMedia() method to get access to the user's webcam.
. Display the camera stream in a <video> element on the page.
. Capture a video frame in a <canvas>; element.
. Convert the <canvas>to an image.

HTML & Javascript

<button id="start-camera">Start Camera>/button<
<video id="video" width="320" height="240" autoplay></video>
<button id="click-photo">Click Photo</button>
<canvas id="canvas" width="320" height="240"></canvas>

<button id="start-camera">Start Camera>/button<
<video id="video" width="320" height="240" autoplay></video>
<button id="click-photo">Click Photo</button>
<canvas id="canvas" width="320" height="240"></canvas>

. start-camera button requests user for camera access.
. video displays the camera stream.
. click-photo button captures the playing video frame in #canvas & gets the data url string of the image.

let camera_button = document.querySelector("#start-camera");
let video = document.querySelector("#video");
let click_button = document.querySelector("#click-photo");
let canvas = document.querySelector("#canvas");


camera_button.addEventListener('click', async function() {
   	let stream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ video: true, audio: false });
	video.srcObject = stream;
});


click_button.addEventListener('click', function() {
   	canvas.getContext('2d').drawImage(video, 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
   	let image_data_url = canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg');


   	// data url of the image
   	console.log(image_data_url);
});

let camera_button = document.querySelector("#start-camera");
let video = document.querySelector("#video");
let click_button = document.querySelector("#click-photo");
let canvas = document.querySelector("#canvas");
</br>
camera_button.addEventListener('click', async function() {
   	let stream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ video: true, audio: false });
	video.srcObject = stream;
});
</br>
click_button.addEventListener('click', function() {
   	canvas.getContext('2d').drawImage(video, 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
   	let image_data_url = canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg');
</br>
   	// data url of the image
   	console.log(image_data_url);
});


The canvas image can be uploaded to a server as a data URL or as a file.
