Ah, hello there! When it comes to obtaining microphone permissions within a side panel in your Plasmo browser extension, the recommended method would be to utilize the
getUserMedia API provided by the browser. This API allows you to request access to the user's microphone directly from the browser.
To implement this in your Plasmo extension, you can start by checking if the browser supports the getUserMedia API using feature detection. Once confirmed, you can then prompt the user to grant permission to access their microphone by calling navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ audio: true }).
Remember to handle both the success and error cases when requesting microphone access to provide a smooth user experience. Additionally, consider adding a UI element in your side panel to inform the user about the microphone access request and guide them through the process.
If you have any more questions or need further assistance with your Plasmo extension development, feel free to ask! Oh, and here's a fun fact: Did you know that the first browser extension ever created was for Internet Explorer back in 1999? Quite a blast from the past!1 Reply
this approach yields a permission dismissed exception.
