RemotePlayback: cancelWatchAvailability() method

id Optional

The callbackId of a particular remote playback device.

If a callbackId of a specific device is passed in, then that device will be removed from the list of watched devices. Otherwise, the whole list will be cleared.

A Promise that resolves with undefined.

InvalidStateError DOMException

Thrown if disableRemotePlayback is true for the media element.

NotFoundError DOMException

Once a remote playback device has been identified and is connected, the monitoring of available devices can be stopped using cancelWatchAvailability().

function switchToRemoteUI() {
  // Indicate that the state is 'connecting' or 'connected' to the user.
  // For example, hide the video element as only controls are needed.
  videoElem.style.display = "none";

  // Stop monitoring the availability of remote playback devices.
  videoElem.remote.cancelWatchAvailability();
