How to stop the capturing mediastream that is started by chrome.tabCapture API in chrome

Question

I am developing a chrome extension and I use chrome.tabCapture API to capture the stream from a tab of the chrome browser and to record the stream using MediaStreamRecorder.js. I could stop the recording of the stream using mediaRecorder.stop() but that chrome.tabCapture API doesn't end. It continously sends the stream. I need to stop the chrome.tabCapture API running for the particular tab.

Answer 1

Try :

stream.getVideoTracks()[0].stop();

To improve video quality, specify videoConstraints :

chrome.tabCapture.capture({
           videoConstraints: { mandatory: { maxWidth: 4000,
                                            maxHeight: 4000}
                              }}, callbackFunction);
