Web/API/RTCRtpReceiver

The RTCRtpReceiver interface of the WebRTC API manages the reception and decoding of data for a MediaStreamTrack on an RTCPeerConnection.

Properties

RTCRtpReceiver.track Read only

Returns the MediaStreamTrack associated with the current RTCRtpReceiver instance. 

RTCRtpReceiver.transport Read only

Returns the RTCDtlsTransport instance over which the media for the receiver's track is received.

Obsolete properties

rtcpTransport '

RTCRtpReceiver.getParameters() 

Returns an RTCRtpParameters object which contains information about how the RTC data is to be decoded.

RTCRtpReceiver.getStats()

Returns a Promise whose fulfillment handler receives a RTCStatsReport which contains statistics about the incoming streams and their dependencies.

RTCRtpReceiver.getSynchronizationSources() 

Returns an array including one RTCRtpSynchronizationSource instance for each unique SSRC (synchronization source) identifier received by the current RTCRtpReceiver in the last ten seconds.

Static methods
