MediaDeviceInfo.label

Syntax

var label = MediaDeviceInfo.label;

Value

A DOMString which describes the media device. For security reasons, the label is always an empty string ("") if the user has not obtained permission to use at least one media device, either by starting a stream from the microphone or camera, or by persistent permissions being granted.
