I've built a web app that uses WebRTC to allow people to video chat in the browser and not be forced to download an app.

However, it would be really helpful if iOS users could stream their video using their native camera app and not just the RTC element in the browser.

Is this possible?

I've found a way to open the native camera app using this HTML:

<input type="file" accept="video/*" capture="environment">

However, this only allows the user to upload their video and not stream it.

It is impossible. The APP routes the stream into the local storage (Photo Album). There is no streaming protocol implementation of any kind.
