MediaRecorder: stop() method
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since April 2021.
The stop() method of the MediaRecorder interface is
used to stop media capture.
When the stop() method is invoked, the UA queues a task that runs the
following steps:
- If
MediaRecorder.stateis "inactive", raise a DOMInvalidStateerror and terminate these steps. If theMediaRecorder.stateis not "inactive", continue on to the next step. - Set the
MediaRecorder.stateto "inactive" and stop capturing media. - Raise a
dataavailableevent containing the Blob of data that has been gathered. - Raise a
stopevent.
Syntax
js
stop()
Parameters
None.
Return value
None (undefined).
Exceptions
InvalidStateErrorDOMException-
Thrown if the
MediaRecorderis currently"inactive"; you cannot stop the recording if theMediaRecorderis not active.
Examples
js
stop.onclick = () => {
mediaRecorder.stop();
console.log("recorder stopped, data available");
};
