This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The OverconstrainedError constructor creates a new OverconstrainedError object which indicates that the set of desired capabilities for the current MediaStreamTrack cannot currently be met. When this event is thrown on a MediaStreamTrack, it is muted until either the current constraints can be established or until satisfiable constraints are applied.
Syntax
var OverconstrainedError = new OverconstrainedError()
Parameters
- constraint
- The constraint that was not satified.
- message
- Text for the error's
messageproperty.
