chrome banner thingie

This dialog is too subtle for some of my users (heck, I miss it myself sometimes). Is there a good way that I can force it to be more obvious in order to avoid support calls?

Edit: I know about the trick of using arrows or pictures to draw attention to the banner, but I'm wanting something less ugly.

    You could make an warning on your site with an image and arrows? – Andreas Furster Nov 03 '14 at 14:49
  • FYI in Chrome 41 the camera permission UI will change, you can try and see how it looks with `--enable-permissions-bubbles` (there are a few bugs at the moment, in Chrome 38 I had to open a new tab then go back to the original tab to see the UI if I called getUserMedia from the console.) – Rob W Nov 03 '14 at 21:26

No. But what you can do is have directions on your website that might even have a picture of the various "Allow" banners/buttons offered by various browsers and call attention to what the user should look for, perhaps esp. the first time they use the feature.

E.g., a (much) better version of this:

I don't know of a way to achieve what you want.

I can imagine two workarounds:

  • instruct the user what to do (like T.J. Crowder has already stated)

  • In case you control the clients using your webapp: Set a browser-policy. Then no prompt would appear.
