[webkit-dev] Webkit MediaRecorder Timeslice functionality on Safari 14.0.2 Mojave

[youenn fablet]

Hi Mark,

Thanks for reaching out.

For timeslice specific questions, it might be best to continue discussions
in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202233.

Timeslice support in older versions of MacOS and iOS is tricky.
On those OSes, including MacOS Mojave, MediaRecorder is not enabled by
default.

On the most recent BigSur and iOS versions, MediaRecorder should be enabled
by default and timeslice should be supported.

Hope this helps,
    Y
