Im looking for to way to show my webcam on a web page. (Learning purposes) I tried these codes :

<html lang="fr">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=1024 initial-scale=1">
        <!--JS-->
        <script src="script.js"></script>
    </head>

    <body>
        <main>
            <p>just a webpage to insert JS and see console returns</p>
            <video id="retourUtilisateur" autoplay playsinline></video>
        </main>
    </body>
</html>
const contraintes = {
    video: {
    width: {
        min: 1280,
        ideal: 1920,
        max: 2560,
    },
    height: {
        min: 720,
        ideal: 1080,
        max: 1440
    },
    }
};

//is getUserMedia available ?
if ('mediaDevices' in navigator && 'getUserMedia' in navigator.mediaDevices) {
    console.log("Fonctionalités logicielles disponibles")
}
else(console.log("Fonctionalités logicielles indisponibles"))

//asking for camera access
try {
    const stream = navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia(contraintes);
    console.log("cam connected");
    // Utiliser le stream ici

    // Affichage du stream
    document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
        video = document.getElementById("retourUtilisateur");
        video.srcObject = stream;
    })
} catch (e) {
    console.log("Impossible d'accéder à la caméra", e);
}

it's, at a few details, the same thing I saw here or here.

But I've an error in console : caught TypeError: Failed to set the 'srcObject' property on 'HTMLMediaElement': The provided value is not of type '(MediaSourceHandle or MediaStream)'.

So... I checked Mozila datasheet, and... it's right, html do not have a srcObject attribute. So how in the world are these exemples working ? what am I missing ? I continued with this datasheet, and replaced my srcObject attribute by a src attribute. my error changed for : "GET http://127.0.0.1:5500/[object%20Promise] 404 (Not Found)" but... why have I a 404 error ? isn't it only when a web page is missing ? And I do not understand why it's speaking about a promise. What it is ?
