MediaRecorder: pause() method

The MediaRecorder.pause() method (part of the MediaStream Recording API) is used to pause recording of media streams.

When a MediaRecorder object's pause()method is called, the browser queues a task that runs the below steps:

1. If MediaRecorder.state is "inactive", raise a DOM InvalidState error and terminate these steps. If not, continue to the next step.
2. Set MediaRecorder.state to "paused".
3. Stop gathering data into the current Blob, but keep it available so that recording can be resumed later on.
4. Raise a pause event.

pause()

pause.onclick = () => {
  mediaRecorder.pause();
  console.log("recording paused");
};
