track

The track event is sent to the ontrack event handler on RTCPeerConnections after a new track has been added to an RTCRtpReceiver which is part of the connection.

By the time this event is delivered, the new track has been fully added to the peer connection. See Track event types in RTCTrackEvent for details.

Properties

streams Read only Optional

An array of MediaStream objects, each representing one of the media streams which comprise the track that was added to the connection. By default, the array is empty.

Examples

This example shows code that creates a new RTCPeerConnection, then adds a new "track" event handler.

pc = new RTCPeerConnection({
  iceServers: [
    {
      urls: "turn:fake.turnserver.url",
      username: "someusername",
      credential: "somepassword"
    }
  ]
});

pc.addEventHandler("track", e => {
  videoElement.srcObject = e.streams[0];
  hangupButton.disabled = false;
}, false);

The event handler assigns the new track's first stream to an existing <video> element, identified using the variable videoElement.
