A gatheringstatechange
event is sent to an RTCIceTransport
when its ICE candidate gathering state changes. The gathering state, whose actual status can be found in the transport object's gatheringState
property, indicates whether or not the ICE agent has begun gathering candidates, and if so, if it has finished doing so.

Event handler property | ongatheringstatechange |
The key difference between gatheringstatechange
and icegatheringstatechange
is that the latter represents the overall state of the connection including every RTCIceTransport
used by every RTCRtpSender
and every RTCRtpReceiver
on the entire connection. In contrast, gatheringstatechange
represents changes to the candidate gathering state for a single transport.
Examples
This example creates a handler for gatheringstatechange
events on each RTCRtpSender
associated with a given RTCPeerConnection
. Here, the addEventListener()
method is called to add a listener for gatheringstatechange
events:
pc.getSenders().forEach(sender => { sender.transport.iceTransport.addEventListener("gatheringstatechange", ev => { let transport = ev.target; if (transport.gatheringState === "complete") { /* this transport has finished gathering candidates, but others may still be working on it */ } }, false);
Likewise, you can use the ongatheringstatechange
event handler property:
pc.getSenders().forEach(sender => { sender.transport.iceTransport.ongatheringstatechange = ev => { let transport = ev.target; if (transport.gatheringState === "complete") { /* this transport has finished gathering candidates, but others may still be working on it */ } }; });
