RTCPeerConnection: getReceivers() method

Baseline Widely available *

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since January 2020.

* Some parts of this feature may have varying levels of support.

The getReceivers() method of the RTCPeerConnection interface returns an array of RTCRtpReceiver objects, each of which represents one RTP receiver. Each RTP receiver manages the reception and decoding of data for a MediaStreamTrack on an RTCPeerConnection.

Syntax

js
getReceivers()

Parameters

None.

Return value

An array of RTCRtpReceiver objects, one for each track on the connection. The array is empty if there are no RTP receivers on the connection.

The order of the returned RTCRtpReceiver instances is not defined by the specification, and may change from one call to getReceivers() to the next.

The array does not include receivers associated with transceivers that have been stopped (following offer/answer).
