Navigator: presentation property

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

Secure context: This feature is available only in secure contexts (HTTPS), in some or all supporting browsers.

The presentation read-only property of Navigator serves as the entry point for the Presentation API and returns a reference to Presentation object.

Value

A reference to Presentation object.

Examples

Currently, the navigator.presentation property is most useful for feature checking, and, for the receiving user agent, to access the PresentationReceiver.

js
// Check if the Presentation API is available in the current browser
if ("presentation" in navigator) {
  footer.textContent = navigator.presentation.receiver
    ? "Receiving presentation"
    : "(idle)";
} else {
  console.error("Presentation API is not available in this browser.");
}
