PressureObserver()-
Creates and returns a new

Static properties
PressureObserver.knownSourcesRead only-
Returns an array of
sourcevalues supported by the user agent.

Invokes the pressure observer's callback function when a pressure record for the specified

Returns the current list of pressure records stored in the pressure observer, emptying it out.
Examples
Log current pressure
This example creates a PressureObserver and takes action whenever there is a pressure change. The sample interval is set to 1000ms, meaning that there will be updates at most every second.
function callback(records) {
const lastRecord = records[records.length - 1];
console.log(`Current pressure ${lastRecord.state}`);
if (lastRecord.state === "critical") {
// disable video feeds
} else if (lastRecord.state === "serious") {
// disable video filter effects
} else {
// enable all video feeds and filter effects
}
}
try {
const observer = new PressureObserver(callback);
await observer.observe("cpu", {
sampleInterval: 1000, // 1000ms
});
} catch (error) {
// report error setting up the observer
}
