Use stream.getTracks().forEach(track => track.stop());.

stream.stop() was deprecated.

Is it possible to launch tracks again once they are stopped? – igorpavlov Jan 23 '16 at 19:59

No, stopped tracks are [ended](http://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-main/getusermedia.html#widl-MediaStreamTrack-stop-void). – jib Jan 23 '16 at 23:46

For all browsers

if (microphone_data.media_stream) {
    microphone_data.media_stream.getTracks().forEach(function (track) { track.stop(); });
}

What is `microphone_data` and what is `media_stream`? Those are not defined in the HTML5 media API. – Dai Nov 13 '20 at 08:11
