RTCErrorEvent

Baseline 2026
Newly available

Since April 2026, this feature works across the latest devices and browser versions. This feature might not work in older devices or browsers.

The RTCErrorEvent interface of the WebRTC API represents an error event sent to a WebRTC object.

It inherits from the standard Event interface, adding RTC-specific information describing the error. Note that WebRTC defines other error event interfaces, which are used for errors that have other special information sharing requirements.
