MediaStream.getVideoTracks()
The getVideoTracks() method of the
MediaStream interface returns a sequence of
MediaStreamTrack objects representing the video tracks in this stream.
Syntax
var mediaStreamTracks[] = mediaStream.getVideoTracks();
Parameters
None.
Return value
An array of MediaStreamTrack objects, one for each video track contained
in the media stream. Video tracks are those tracks whose
kind property is video. The array
is empty if the stream contains no video tracks.
Note: The order of the tracks is not defined by the specification,
and may not be the same from one call to getVideoTracks() to another.
Early versions of this API included a special VideoStreamTrack interface
which was used as the type for each entry in the list of video streams; however, this
has since been merged into the main MediaStreamTrack interface.
Example
The following example, extracted from Chrome's
Image Capture / Photo Resolution Sample, uses getVideoTracks() to
retrieve a track for passing to the ImageCapture() constructor.
var imageCapture;
navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({video: true})
.then(mediaStream => {
document.querySelector('video').srcObject = mediaStream;
const track = mediaStream.getVideoTracks()[0];
imageCapture = new ImageCapture(track);
return imageCapture.getPhotoCapabilities();
})
