Peerjs: Switch Camera During Call

Created on 27 May 2017  ·  6Comments  ·  Source: peers/peerjs

I want to switch camera stream while in a call, without closing the connection to the other peer. Is this possible?

Currently doing something like this:

navigator.webkitGetUserMedia({video: true, audio: true}, (stream) => {
  peer.call(key, stream);
});

It is possible. Take a look at skyway examples or this example:

You need to establish a new connection, this is because of how WebRTC works.

You can use replaceTrack of RTCRtpSender.

this.call.peerConnection.getSenders()[0].replaceTrack()
