MediaSession: setScreenshareActive() method
Limited availability
This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The setScreenshareActive() method of the MediaSession interface is used to indicate to the user agent whether the user's screenshare is considered to be active.
Call this method on the navigator object's mediaSession object.
Note that the status of the screenshare is not tracked in the MediaSession itself, but must be tracked separately.
Syntax
setScreenshareActive(active)
Parameters
active-
A boolean indicating whether the screenshare is considered active or not.
Return value
None (undefined).
Examples
Below is an example of updating the screenshare active state of the current

let screenshareActive = false;
navigator.mediaSession.setCameraActive(cameraActive);
navigator.mediaSession.setActionHandler("togglescreenshare", () => {
screenshareActive = !screenshareActive;
navigator.mediaSession.setCameraActive(screenshareActive);
});
