RTCSessionDescription()

This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for the proper prefixes to use in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the spec changes.

The RTCSessionDescription() constructor creates a new RTCSessionDescription.

Syntax

 sessionDescription = new RTCSessionDescription(rtcSessionDescriptionInit);

Values

rtcSessionDescriptionInit Optional

Is a RTCSessionDescriptionInit dictionary, having the following fields:

"type", optional and defaulting to null, of type RTCSdpType, that is "offer", "answer" or "pranswer".
"sdp", optional and defaulting to null, of type DOMString and containing a SDP message describing the session.

Example

navigator.getUserMedia({video: true}, function(stream) {
  pc.onaddstream({stream: stream});
  // Adding a local stream won't trigger the onaddstream callback
  pc.addStream(stream);

  pc.createOffer(function(offer) {
    pc.setLocalDescription(new RTCSessionDescription(offer), function() {
      // send the offer to a server to be forwarded to the friend you're calling.
    }, error);
  }, error);
}
