Hi guys, this is my code, I followed a tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EejpxMtDg8M

and I get this error message: enter image description here

does anyone know whats the problem? I did everything as followed and I have no idea whats wrong, thanks so much for the help!

Solution

  • The erorr was videoRef.current was null, just need to wrap it in

    if(videoRef.current){
}
