Hi,

As per me, it should turn off automatically once you stop recording.

If it is not happening so, then please do the cache & cookie clear, refresh the browser, then try again with start/stop recording.

Please let me know if you find the same issue again after doing the above step.

Solution 2

Try thios one, since stream.stop() is deprecated.

if (stream!= null) {
stream.getTracks().map(function (val) {
val.stop();
});
}
