DetectRTC | Is WebRTC Supported In Your Browser?

Live Demo: https://www.webrtc-experiment.com/DetectRTC/

if (DetectRTC.isWebRTCSupported === false) {
    alert('Please use Chrome or Firefox.');
}

if (DetectRTC.hasWebcam === false) {
    alert('Please install an external webcam device.');
}

if (DetectRTC.hasMicrophone === false) {
    alert('Please install an external microphone device.');
}

if (DetectRTC.hasSpeakers === false && (DetectRTC.browser.name === 'Chrome' || DetectRTC.browser.name === 'Edge')) {
    alert('Oops, your system can not play audios.');
}

What is this?

A tiny JavaScript library that can be used to detect WebRTC features e.g. system having speakers, microphone or webcam, screen capturing is supported, number of audio/video devices etc.

Free?

It is MIT Licenced, which means that you can use it in any commercial/non-commercial product, free of cost.

How to use it?

// for node.js users
var DetectRTC = require('detectrtc');

// non-nodejs users can skip above line
// below code will work for all users

    DetectRTC.hasMicrophone; // (has microphone device!)
    DetectRTC.hasSpeakers; // (has speakers!)
    DetectRTC.isScreenCapturingSupported; // Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge and Android

    DetectRTC.isWebSocketsSupported;
    DetectRTC.isWebSocketsBlocked;
    DetectRTC.checkWebSocketsSupport(callback);

    DetectRTC.isWebsiteHasWebcamPermissions;        // getUserMedia allowed for HTTPs domain in Chrome?
    DetectRTC.isWebsiteHasMicrophonePermissions;    // getUserMedia allowed for HTTPs domain in Chrome?

    DetectRTC.audioInputDevices;    // microphones
    DetectRTC.audioOutputDevices;   // speakers
    DetectRTC.videoInputDevices;    // cameras

    DetectRTC.osName;
    DetectRTC.osVersion;

    DetectRTC.browser.name === 'Edge' || 'Chrome' || 'Firefox';
    DetectRTC.browser.version;
    DetectRTC.browser.isChrome;
    DetectRTC.browser.isFirefox;
    DetectRTC.browser.isOpera;

DetectRTC.version

DetectRTC is supporting version property since 1.3.6.

``javascript if(DetectRTC.version === '1.3.6') { alert('We are using DetectRTC version 1.3.6'); }

# Why `load` method?

If you're not detecting audio/video input/output devices then you can skip this method.

`DetectRTC.load` simply makes sure that all devices are captured and valid result is set for relevant properties.

# How to fix devices' labels?

You need to check for `device.isCustomLabel` boolean. If this boolean is `true` then assume that DetectRTC given a custom label to the device.

You must getUserMedia request whenever you find `isCustomLabel===true`. getUserMedia request will return valid device labels.

```javascript
if (DetectRTC.MediaDevices[0] && DetectRTC.MediaDevices[0].isCustomLabel) {
    // it seems that we did not make getUserMedia request yet
    navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({
        audio: true,
        video: true
    }).then(function(stream) {
        var video;
        try {
            video = document.createElement('video');
            video.muted = true;
            video.src = URL.createObjectURL(stream);
            video.style.display = 'none';
            (document.body || document.documentElement).appendChild(vide);
        } catch (e) {}

        DetectRTC.load(function() {
            DetectRTC.videoInputDevices.forEach(function(device, idx) {
                // ------------------------------
                // now you get valid label here
                console.log(device.label);
                // ------------------------------
            });

            // release camera
            stream.getTracks().forEach(function(track) {
                track.stop();
            });

            if (video && video.parentNode) {
                video.parentNode.removeChild(video);
            }
        });
    });
} else {
    DetectRTC.videoInputDevices.forEach(function(device, idx) {
        console.log(device.label);
    });
}

How to select specific camera?

Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/cf90az9q/

<script src="https://cdn.webrtc-experiment.com/DetectRTC/CheckDeviceSupport.js"></script>
<script>
function selectSecondaryCamera() {
    checkDeviceSupport(function() {
        var secondDevice = videoInputDevices[1];
        if(!secondDevice) return alert('Secondary webcam is NOT available.');

        var videoConstraints = {
            deviceId: secondDevice.deviceId
        };

        if(!!navigator.webkitGetUserMedia) {
            videoConstraints = {
                mandatory: {},
                optional: [{
                    sourceId: secondDevice.deviceId
                }]
            }
        }

        navigator.getUserMedia = navigator.mozGetUserMedia || navigator.webkitGetUserMedia;
        navigator.getUserMedia({ video: videoConstraints }, function(stream) {
            //
        }, function(error) {
            alert(JSON.stringify(error));
        });
    });
}
</script>
