removeVideoTracks

removeVideoTracks(stream) removes the stream's video tracks without stopping the underlying capture — the tracks are detached, not stopped. Pair it with copyVideoTracks to swap a device live, or use stopStream when you actually want to release the hardware. Part of pota/use/stream.

Arguments

Argument	Type	Description
stream	MediaStream	Stream to detach all video tracks from.

Returns: nothing — it mutates stream in place.

Examples

Detach every video track from a capture stream while leaving its audio running.

import { removeVideoTracks } from 'pota/use/stream'

const stream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({
	audio: true,
	video: true,
})
removeVideoTracks(stream)
