javascript getUserMedia get media stream time

How can I obtain a current stream time of the stream object in javascript ?

navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia(constraints) .then(function(stream) { console.log("get stream time here") })

Is there any possible way to get stream time ??

You can get the playback time using currentTime (use fiddle to make getUserMedia work):

var wait = ms => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));

(async () => {
  video.srcObject = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({video: true});
  while (true) {
    console.log(video.currentTime);
    await wait(100);
  }
})().catch(e => console.log(e));
<video id="video" width="160" height="120" autoplay></video><br>
<div id="div"></div>

There is no inherent stream time without hooking it up to a sink and playing it. E.g. if you join a WebRTC video call late, there's no stream time that tells you when the meeting started.
