The audioSession read-only property of the Navigator interface returns the AudioSession object for the current document.

The AudioSession interface can be used to control how audio from a web application interacts with other audio playing on a device, for example, allowing developers to specify whether their application's audio should play on its own, or along with other device audio.

Value

An AudioSession object.

Examples

Setting the audio session type

The following example sets the audio session type to "play-and-record" before starting a video call:

navigator.audioSession.type = "play-and-record";

// Start video call
const stream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({
  audio: true,
  video: true,
});
localVideo.srcObject = stream;
