VideoTrack.selected

The VideoTrack property selected controls whether or not a particular video track is active.

Syntax

isVideoSelected = VideoTrack.selected;

VideoTrack.selected = true | false;

Value

The selected property is a Boolean whose value is true if the track is active. Only a single video track can be active at any given time, so setting this property to true for one track while another track is active will make that other track inactive.
