How to verify if your application is running in a web browser supported by Azure Communication Services

There are many different browsers available in the market today, but not all of them can properly support audio and video calling. To determine if the browser your application is running on is a supported browser, you can use the getEnvironmentInfo to check for browser support.

A CallClient instance is required for this operation. When you have a CallClient instance, you can use the getEnvironmentInfo method on the CallClient instance to obtain details about the current environment of your app:

const callClient = new CallClient(options);
const environmentInfo = await callClient.feature(Features.DebugInfo).getEnvironmentInfo();

The getEnvironmentInfo method asynchronously returns an object of type EnvironmentInfo.

• The EnvironmentInfo type is defined as:

{
  environment: Environment;
  isSupportedPlatform: boolean;
  isSupportedBrowser: boolean;
  isSupportedBrowserVersion: boolean;
  isSupportedEnvironment: boolean;
}

• The Environment type within the EnvironmentInfo type is defined as:

{
  platform: string;
  browser: string;
  browserVersion: string;
}

A supported environment is a combination of an operating system, a browser, and the minimum version required for that browser. For more information on the browsers that are supported, see here.
