The reset() method of the VideoEncoder interface synchronously cancels all pending encodes and callbacks, frees all underlying resources and sets the state to "unconfigured". After calling reset(), configure() must be called before resuming encode() calls.
Note: To avoid discarding frames queued via encode(), flush() should be called and completed before calling reset().

None.
None (undefined).
InvalidStateError DOMException
