I want to record the videos through my webcam and want to upload them to the server. I don't want to use any plugin. How can I atleast just record the videos.

There's a project on GitHub called RecordRTC. It also provides a live demo here. This tool could run on browsers supporting WebRTC and getUserMedia. It could record both audio and video.

However, according to data from Can I Use, currently WebRTC and getUserMedia are only supported by Firefox, Chrome, and other blink engine browsers.

The html5rocks.com article only covers accessing the webcam. It does not cover the recording part. – octavn Nov 07 '16 at 17:10
