MediaSession: setCameraActive() method
Limited availability
This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
The setCameraActive() method of the MediaSession interface is used to indicate to the user agent whether the user's camera is considered to be active.
Call this method on the navigator object's
mediaSession object.
Note that the status of the camera is not tracked in the MediaSession itself, but must be tracked separately.
Syntax
js
setCameraActive(active)
Parameters
active-
A boolean indicating whether the camera is considered active or not.
Return value
None (undefined).
Examples
Below is an example of updating the camera active state of the current
MediaSession, as well as listening to requests to change the camera status with setActionHandler().
js
let cameraActive = false;
navigator.mediaSession.setCameraActive(cameraActive);
navigator.mediaSession.setActionHandler("togglecamera", () => {
cameraActive = !cameraActive;
navigator.mediaSession.setCameraActive(cameraActive);
});
