Firefox: navigator.getUserMedia is not a function

rated 0 times [ 160] [ 7] / answers: 1 / hits: 47055 / 9 Years ago, wed, march 11, 2015, 12:00:00

I'm playing with browser and audio.

I'm doing this

        var session = {

          audio: true,

          video: false

        };

        var recordRTC = null;

        navigator.getUserMedia(session, initializeRecorder, onError);

But, using latest FF available I got a javascript error, saying that

navigator.getUserMedia is not a function

I copied this code from this blog post: https://blog.groupbuddies.com/posts/39-tutorial-html-audio-capture-streaming-to-nodejs-no-browser-extensions

And similar on latest Chrome:

Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function

But I know that this api is supported from both browser

What am I doing wrong?

Navigator.getUserMedia() is deprecated, advised to use MediaDevices.getUserMedia()

async function getMedia(pc) {

  let stream = null;



  try {

    stream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia(constraints);

    /* use the stream */

  } catch(err) {

    /* handle the error */

  }

}
