RecordRTC.js | Live Demo

WebRTC JavaScript Library for Audio+Video+Screen+Canvas (2D+3D animation) Recording

Chrome Extension or Dozens of Simple-Demos and it is Open-Sourced and has API documentation

npm downloads Build Status: Linux

A demo using promises:

let stream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({video: true, audio: true});
let recorder = new RecordRTCPromisesHandler(stream, {
    type: 'video'
});
recorder.startRecording();

const sleep = m => new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, m));
await sleep(3000);

await recorder.stopRecording();
let blob = await recorder.getBlob();
invokeSaveAsDialog(blob);

A demo using normal coding:

navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({
    video: true,
    audio: true
}).then(async function(stream) {
    let recorder = RecordRTC(stream, {
        type: 'video'
    });
    recorder.startRecording();

    const sleep = m => new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, m));
    await sleep(3000);

    recorder.stopRecording(function() {
        let blob = recorder.getBlob();
        invokeSaveAsDialog(blob);
    });
});

Global APIs

// "bytesToSize" returns human-readable size (in MB or GB)
let size = bytesToSize(recorder.getBlob().size);

// to fix video seeking issues
getSeekableBlob(recorder.getBlob(), function(seekableBlob) {
    invokeSaveAsDialog(seekableBlob);
});

// this function invokes save-as dialog
invokeSaveAsDialog(recorder.getBlob(), 'video.webm');

// use these global variables to detect browser
let browserInfo = {isSafari, isChrome, isFirefox, isEdge, isOpera};

// use this to store blobs into IndexedDB storage
DiskStorage = {
    init: function() {},
    Fetch: function({audioBlob: Blob, videoBlob: Blob, gifBlob: Blob}) {},
    Store: function({audioBlob: Blob, videoBlob: Blob, gifBlob: Blob}) {},
    onError: function() {},
    dataStoreName: function() {}
};

How to fix echo issues?

  1. Set <video>.muted=true and <video>.volume=0
  2. Pass audio: {echoCancellation:true} on getUserMedia
