Error codes

Since 0.3.0, error codes have been renumbered and error messages are in English (breaking change). This page lists codes for 0.3.0 and later; older versions used 206000 for everything except 206001–206004. See Changelog · v0.3.0 for the old-to-new mapping.

How to check an error

Errors thrown by the conferencing SDK can come from three places. Tell them apart by the full code:

`code`	Source	Description
`206xxx`	Meeting-layer SDK	See “Meeting-layer error codes” below
`106xxx`	Underlying SRTC SDK, passed through unchanged	Capture failures, device permission denied, publish / subscribe failures, and so on; see SRTC Web error codes
`1000`–`99999`	Server business errors, passed through unchanged	For the meeting server, see Server API error codes; show the `message` returned by the server directly to users

The error object has the same fields as SRTC’s SdkError: code (full code), baseCode (low 3 digits), and message / msg (English details). The package exports SdkError and MeetingErrorCode (meeting-layer low 3 digits).

Check code, not the message text—messages are for developers and logs and change between versions. For messages shown to end users, map codes yourself using the “Suggested user message” column below; don’t show message directly
The low 3 digits of the meeting layer and the SRTC layer are two independent tables (206003 is “not in a meeting”, 106003 is “track doesn’t exist”). In the conferencing SDK, compare the full code; comparing only baseCode mixes them up
Don’t use instanceof: with the UMD bundle, the SDK ships its own copy of SRTC, which isn’t the same class as an SRTC you import separately

import { SMeeting } from '@seastart/smeeting-web-sdk';

try {
  await smeeting.requestOpenCamera(container);
} catch (e: any) {
  switch (e?.code) {
    case 206004: // the host has disabled turning on cameras
      showToast('The host has disabled turning on cameras');
      break;
    case 106231: // passed through from SRTC: camera permission denied
      showToast('Please allow camera access in your browser');
      break;
    case 106018: // passed through from SRTC: device in use
      showToast('The device may be in use by another app. Close it and try again');
      break;
    default:
      if (e?.code >= 1000 && e?.code < 100000) {
        showToast(e.message); // server business error; its language follows language
      } else {
        console.error(e?.code, e?.message);
      }
  }
}

The language parameter

The language init parameter sets the SDK language (a language tag such as zh-CN or en). It’s a process-wide global setting and also applies to the underlying SRTC:

const smeeting = new SMeeting({
  language: 'en',   // if omitted, follows navigator.language; falls back to zh
});

Requests to both the meeting server and the SRTC server carry Accept-Language, and the message of server business errors (1000–99999) comes back in Chinese or English accordingly
The prompt shown when the browser blocks autoplay uses Chinese or English according to language; override the text with the autoPlayDialogText init parameter
The SDK’s own errors (206xxx, and passed-through 106xxx) are always in English and aren’t affected by language

Meeting-layer error codes

For the cross-platform meaning of the low 3 digits, see Error code format and unified table.

Code	`MeetingErrorCode`	Meaning	Common causes	Suggested user message
`206000`	`Unknown`	Unclassified error	Fallback code that shouldn’t normally appear; check `message` and the logs	——
`206001`	`NotLoggedIn`	Not logged in	`login` wasn’t called, or a method that requires login was called after login failed	——
`206002`	`TokenExpired`	The token has expired	The token was past its validity period at `login`; issue a new one	Your session has expired. Please rejoin
`206003`	`NotInMeeting`	Not in a meeting	An in-meeting method was called before entering the meeting or after exiting it	——
`206004`	`Unauthorized`	No permission	A non-host performed a host operation, or the room has disabled turning on the camera / mic / screen sharing	The host has disabled this action
`206005`	`TokenInvalid`	Invalid token	The `login` token can’t be parsed; check that it was copied completely and was issued for this environment	——
`206006`	`AlreadyInMeeting`	Already in a meeting	Entered a meeting again; exit the current meeting first	——
`206007`	`NetworkError`	Network error	The request to the meeting server failed or HTTP wasn’t 200 (the status is in `message`)	Network error. Check your connection and try again
`206010`	`UserNotFound`	No such member in the meeting	The uid being queried isn’t in the room	——
`206011`	`InvalidState`	Not allowed in the current state	Turning on the camera / mic / screen sharing when it’s already on, switching devices before it’s on, turning on the document camera without turning off the camera first, and so on	——
`206012`	`InvalidArgument`	Invalid argument	Reserved; not used in this version	——
`206356`	`ResponseParseFailed`	Failed to parse the response	The meeting server’s response isn’t JSON or is missing the `code` field—usually a misconfigured service URL, or a proxy is rewriting responses	——

Passed-through SRTC error codes

Failures related to capture, permissions, and publishing / subscribing are thrown by the underlying SRTC and passed through unchanged. Common ones:

Code	Meaning	Suggested user message
`106231`	Camera permission denied	Please allow camera access in your browser
`106251`	Microphone permission denied	Please allow microphone access in your browser
`106039`	Screen sharing was denied	Screen sharing was canceled. If no picker appeared, allow screen recording for the browser in system settings
`106021`	The device doesn’t exist	No camera or microphone found. Check the device connection
`106018`	Capture failed (device in use, and so on)	The device may be in use by another app. Close it and try again
`106006` / `106007` / `106014` / `106015` / `106300`–`106303`	Network / media connection failure	Network error. Check your connection and try again
