Instructs the User-Agent to expose a user interface for controlling playback of the audio stream.

controls = 'controls' or '' (empty string) or empty.

'auto': Hints to the User-Agent that optimistically downloading the entire audio stream is considered desirable.

'metadata': Hints to the User-Agent that the user is not expected to need the audio stream, but that fetching its metadata (duration and so on) is desirable.

'none': Hints to the User-Agent that the user is not expected to need the audio stream, or that minimizing unnecessary traffic is desirable.

Represents a hint to the User-Agent about whether optimistic downloading of the audio stream itself or its metadata is considered worthwhile.

preload = 'none' or 'metadata' or 'auto' or '' (empty string) or empty.

Instructs the User-Agent to automatically begin playback of the audio stream as soon as it can do so without stopping.

autoplay = 'autoplay' or '' (empty string) or empty.

It is commonly used to play back a single audio file within a web page, showing a GUI widget with play/pause/volume controls. The element represents a sound, or an audio stream.

3 Web Audio API and MediaStream Processing API.

This is also where I’m specifying the desired video resolution for the recording.

At the time of writing, audio recording is not supported in Chrome when using the Media Recorder API.

The way the audio and video constraints need to be defined differs in Chrome and Firefox.

In the demo code the 1st thing I’m doing is I’m detecting whether the code is run on Chrome or Firefox. Now let’s go over the JavaScript code a bit.

Check it out here or download it from GitHub. I’ve created a cross browser demo (Chrome + Firefox) that implements the API. HTML5 Video Recorder – Quick Implementation This is where all the data can be saved as a video file (webm) or played back immediately in a tag.

When the MediaRecorder‘s stop method is called, the onstop event is triggered.

MediaRecorder‘s ondataavailable event gets triggered with new audio and video data that’s pushed in an array.

A new MediaRecorder JS object is created and starts the recording process.

Webcam input (audio and video) is accessed by getUserMedia.

So how does video recording work using this new API ? The document draft contains all the details, but the gist of it is:

The new MediaRecorder object relies on the (existing) getUserMedia JavaScript function to access to the webcam and microphone but, as we’ll see next, that’s where the touch points with WebRTC end. The API defines the new MediaRecorder JS object, its functions: Until recently it was just a proposal by the Media Capture Task Force (a joint task force between the WebRTC and Device APIs working groups) that attempts to make basic audio and video recording in the browser very simple.īut recent versions of Chrome and Firefox have started implementing this proposed API. In this article we will dig deeper into what the Media Recorder API is, it’s current state, browser support and what it could mean for the future of the web. This is still true at the moment, but the new JavaScript Media Recorder API (previously known as the MediaStream Recording API) is slowly crawling its way in today’s modern browsers – and it will allow video recording using just HTML 5 and JavaScript.
