MDN webRTC still photo capture demo stops working recently

I followed MDN's webRTC still photo capture in my own program. It worked well two months ago. Today, when trying the same program, I found that no video input from the webcam can be displayed. In fact, the demo provided by MDN cannot work too. I tried both Chrome Version 66 and Firefox Version 60.0.2 and met the same issue. Does anyone know what has happened on browsers' side causing webRTC failing?

Finally, found the error reason. In capture.js line 47, need to make the following update. Please see More information about the issue

// Don't do this
video.src = URL.createObjectURL(stream);

// Do this
video.srcObject = stream;

This attempts to set mozSrcObject which has been removed a few Firefox releases ago. Try setting the video elements srcObject to the stream instead -- in any (modern) browser.

The original article also contains relatively up-to-date code
