Collects information about the media input devices available on the system. You can pass property deviceId of a Device object as value of audioSource or videoSource properties in initPublisher method

Get a MediaStream object that you can customize before calling initPublisher (pass MediaStreamTrack property of the MediaStream value resolved by the Promise as audioSource or videoSource properties in initPublisher)

Parameter options is the same as in initPublisher second parameter (of type PublisherProperties), but only the following properties will be applied: audioSource, videoSource, frameRate, resolution

To customize the Publisher's video, the API for HTMLCanvasElement is very useful. For example, to get a black-and-white video at 10 fps and HD resolution with no sound:

var OV = new OpenVidu();
var FRAME_RATE = 10;

OV.getUserMedia({
   audioSource: false,
   videoSource: undefined,
   resolution: '1280x720',
   frameRate: FRAME_RATE
})
.then(mediaStream => {

   var videoTrack = mediaStream.getVideoTracks()[0];
   var video = document.createElement('video');
   video.srcObject = new MediaStream([videoTrack]);

   var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
   var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
   ctx.filter = 'grayscale(100%)';

   video.addEventListener('play', () => {
     var loop = () => {
       if (!video.paused && !video.ended) {
         ctx.drawImage(video, 0, 0, 300, 170);
         setTimeout(loop, 1000/ FRAME_RATE); // Drawing at 10 fps
       }
     };
     loop();
   });
   video.play();

   var grayVideoTrack = canvas.captureStream(FRAME_RATE).getVideoTracks()[0];
   var publisher = this.OV.initPublisher(
     myHtmlTarget,
     {
       audioSource: false,
       videoSource: grayVideoTrack
     });
});
