enumerateDevices()

enumerateDevices() This is a wrapper around navigator.mediaDevices.enumerateDevices(). It is especially required for iframe embeds, which return different device IDs than the parent page and must be enumerated from within the iframe context. To get the devices currently active in the call, use getInputDevices() instead.

Return value

Returns a Promise<{ devices: DailyMediaDeviceInfo[] }>. Each DailyMediaDeviceInfo extends the browser’s MediaDeviceInfo with an optional facing field:

string

Unique identifier for the device. Persists across sessions for the same browser and origin.

string

Devices that share a physical unit (e.g. a combined camera and microphone) have the same groupId.

string

Device type: 'audioinput', 'audiooutput', or 'videoinput'.

string

Human-readable device name (e.g. "Built-in Microphone"). Only populated after the user has granted media permissions.

string

Optional. Camera facing mode on mobile devices: 'user' (front-facing) or 'environment' (rear-facing).

Example

const { devices } = await call.enumerateDevices();

const cameras = devices.filter(d => d.kind === 'videoinput');
const mics = devices.filter(d => d.kind === 'audioinput');
const speakers = devices.filter(d => d.kind === 'audiooutput');

console.log('Cameras:', cameras.map(d => d.label));
