Accessing Your Webcam in HTML5

I think you are on the right track :smile:

You may need to set the video source to null in addition to calling stop on the track object. Check out the following snippet:

function stop(e) {
  var stream = video.srcObject;
  var tracks = stream.getTracks();

  for (var i = 0; i < tracks.length; i++) {
    var track = tracks[i];
    track.stop();
  }

  video.srcObject = null;
}

Here is a working example: https://www.kirupa.com/snippets/examples/stop_webcam_stream.htm

Does this help?
