Navigator: audioSession property
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 audioSession read-only property of the Navigator interface returns the AudioSession object for the current document.
The AudioSession interface can be used to control how audio from a web application interacts with other audio playing on a device, for example, allowing developers to specify whether their application's audio should play on its own, or along with other device audio.
Value
An AudioSession object.
Examples
Setting the audio session type
The following example sets the audio session type to "play-and-record" before starting a video call:
navigator.audioSession.type = "play-and-record";
// Start video call
const stream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({
audio: true,
video: true,
});
localVideo.srcObject = stream;
