negotiationneeded

This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.

An negotiationneeded event informs that a negotiation will be needed in the near future. It can also be sent before a first negotiation happened.

An event handler for this event can be added via the RTCPeerConnection.onnegotiationneeded property.
