I'm discovering quaggaJS, a very efficient barcode scanner which I'm implementing on my website. It's using the webcam to scan barcodes.
Is there any way to permanently allow the usage of the webcam on trusted sites with Safari (iOS).
As an example, visiting there demo site, will systematically ask permission to use camera.
I would like to make this choice permanent for visitors of my website.

Open Safari Preferences. Navigate to Websites. Go to camera & mic tabs. Change access to Allow.
On iOS 13 and up, you can also set the camera and microphone to be enabled by default: Go to Settings on your device. Scroll down and open Safari tab. Ensure Camera & Microphone are set to Allow.
Step 1: Go to Settings > Privacy. Step 2: Tap on Camera to see which apps have access to it. You can allow or block apps using Camera from here.
If you're not able to turn on your microphone or camera and/or you're seeing a red cross next to your microphone and camera buttons in your bottom menu toolbar... it's likely that you haven't given your browser permission to access your microphone and camera.
To choose or switch your microphone or camera in Safari, you'll need to go into your webinar or meeting room. From there, click on the Camera icon that's just to the right of your URL address, and choose your microphone and camera from the dropdown menu.
This is solved from iOS 13 onwards. With any website open, tap the "AA" icon in the top-left. Then tap "Website Settings" which will enable you to set camera permissions to "Allow" instead of "Ask".
Unfortunately this setting is not available before iOS 13.

Unfortunately, it seems there is no way to permanently grant a website access to the iPhone camera within Safari (yet).
iOS 11 added the option to completely disable camera & microphone access in the Safari privacy & security settings. Having the camera & microphone access enabled for Safari, however, only means that Safari will ask the user for their permission when a website requests access to the user media.
Unfortunately, as of iOS 11.3, no further website-specific settings are available, so your users would have to confirm their permission every time camera access is needed on your website.
I'd like to reference the corresponding Apple Support page, but this question doesn't seem to be addressed there yet.
