We are trying to capture Biometric fingerprint using WebRTC without installing any plugin or software. Does the web browser have the capability to do it?

WebRTC is not related to biometrics in any way. It's just roughly an "UDP for browsers". – Velkan Apr 19 '18 at 06:52

Hi @velkan, Does web browser have the capability of getting fingerprint scanner access over phone? – Tarun Apr 19 '18 at 07:29

The most likely candidate API in the browser is WebUSB, currently being experimented with in Chrome:
https://wicg.github.io/webusb/
https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2016/03/access-usb-devices-on-the-web
That's assuming that the fingerprint scanner is an USB device. WebRTC has no API to deal with fingerprint scanners.
