CaptureController: increaseZoomLevel() method

Syntax

increaseZoomLevel()

Parameters

None.

Return value

A Promise that fulfills with undefined.

Exceptions

InvalidStateError DOMException

Thrown when:

• The captured display surface is already at its maximum supported zoom level.
• An attempt is made to invoke increaseZoomLevel() without transient activation.

NotAllowedError DOMException

Thrown when:

• The page's captured-surface-control Permissions Policy does not permit the page to use the Captured Surface Control API.
• Permission to capture the display surface is explicitly denied by the user.

Examples

Basic increaseZoomLevel() usage

The following snippet adds an event listener to a button so that when it is clicked, the increaseZoom() function is called. This in turn calls the increaseZoomLevel() method, zooming the captured surface in.

// Create controller and start capture
const controller = new CaptureController();
videoElem.srcObject = await navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia({
  controller,
});

// ...

incBtn.addEventListener("click", increaseZoom);

async function increaseZoom() {
  try {
    await controller.increaseZoomLevel();
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(e);
  }
}

It is generally a best practice to call increaseZoomLevel() from within a try...catch block because the zoom level could be changed asynchronously by an entity other than the application, which might lead to an error being thrown. For example, the user might directly interact with the captured surface to zoom in or out.

See Using the Captured Surface Control API for a full working example.
