navigator.getUserMedia function is undefined

Question

Navigator.getUserMedia()

Can the navigator.getUserMedia function be undefined because the camera or access to the microphone is not granted access?

Answer 1

From the documentation:

This is a legacy method. Please use the newer navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia() instead.

For example:

async function getMedia(constraints) {
  let stream = null;

  try {
    stream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia(constraints);
    console.log('1')
    /* use the stream */
  } catch (err) {
    /* handle the error */
  }
}

getMedia({audio: true, video: true})
