Interface MediaStreamTrack

The MediaStreamTrack interface of the Media Capture and Streams API represents a single media track within a stream; typically, these are audio or video tracks, but other track types may exist as well.

Properties

contentHint: string

The contentHint property of the MediaStreamTrack interface is a string that hints at the type of content the track contains.

MDN Reference

enabled: boolean

The enabled property of the true if the track is allowed to render the source stream or false if it is not.

MDN Reference

id: string

The id read-only property of the MediaStreamTrack interface returns a string containing a unique identifier (GUID) for the track, which is generated by the user agent.

MDN Reference

kind: string

The kind read-only property of the MediaStreamTrack interface returns a string set to 'audio' if the track is an audio track and to 'video' if it is a video track.

MDN Reference

label: string

The label read-only property of the MediaStreamTrack interface returns a string containing a user agent-assigned label that identifies the track source, as in 'internal microphone'.

MDN Reference

muted: boolean

The muted read-only property of the indicating whether or not the track is currently unable to provide media output.

MDN Reference

onended: ((this: MediaStreamTrack, ev: Event) => any) | null
onmute: ((this: MediaStreamTrack, ev: Event) => any) | null
onunmute: ((this: MediaStreamTrack, ev: Event) => any) | null

The readyState read-only property of the MediaStreamTrack interface returns an enumerated value giving the status of the track.

Methods

  • The applyConstraints() method of the MediaStreamTrack interface applies a set of constraints to the track; these constraints let the website or app establish ideal values and acceptable ranges of values for the constrainable properties of the track, such as frame rate, dimensions, echo cancellation, and so forth.

    MDN Reference

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<void>

  • The dispatchEvent() method of the EventTarget sends an Event to the object, (synchronously) invoking the affected event listeners in the appropriate order.

    MDN Reference

    Parameters

    • event: Event

    Returns boolean

  • The getCapabilities() method of the MediaStreamTrack interface returns an object detailing the accepted values or value range for each constrainable property of the associated MediaStreamTrack, based upon the platform and user agent.

    MDN Reference

    Returns MediaTrackCapabilities

  • The getConstraints() method of the MediaStreamTrack interface returns a recently established for the track using a prior call to constraints indicate values and ranges of values that the website or application has specified are required or acceptable for the included constrainable properties.

    MDN Reference

    Returns MediaTrackConstraints

  • The stop() method of the MediaStreamTrack interface stops the track.

    MDN Reference

    Returns void
