This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.
The HTMLCanvasElement.captureStream() method returns a CanvasCaptureMediaStream that is a real-time video capture of the surface of the canvas.
Syntax
MediaStream = canvas.captureStream(frameRate);
Parameters
frameRateOptional- A double-precision floating-point value that indicates the rate of capture of each frame. If not set, a new frame will be captured each time the canvas changes; if set to
0, a single frame will be captured.
Return Value
A reference to a MediaStream object.
Example
// Find the canvas element to capture
var canvasElt = document.querySelector("canvas");
// Get the stream
var stream = canvasElt.captureStream(25); // 25 FPS
// Do things to the stream
// E.g. Send it to another computer using an RTCPeerConnection
// pc is an RTCPeerConnection created elsewhere
pc.addStream(stream);
