stop the webcam streaming of getUserMedia without page refreshing [duplicate]

Answer 1

You need to stop the LocalMediaStream object by executing its stop() method. I had similar problems. What you need to do is:

Keep a reference to the LocalMediaStream in the onSuccess callback function of the getUserMedia() execution:

var localStream;

onUserMediaSuccess = function(stream) {
   // attach to a video element
   ...
   // keep a reference
   localStream = stream;
};

Stop the LocalMediaStream where needed:

localStream.stop();
