# errors$

> Observable stream of errors from media, signaling, and peer connection layers.

```ts
get errors$(): Observable<CallError>
```

Observable stream of errors from media, signaling, and peer connection layers.

Each emission is a [`CallError`](/docs/browser-sdk/v4/reference/interfaces/call-error) envelope, not a bare `Error`. Two of its fields decide how much a consumer has to care:

* `fatal` — when `true` the call transitions to `'failed'` and is destroyed; the SDK sends its own `verto.bye` so the server releases the leg. Nothing further is required of you.
* `leg` / `legId` — which peer connection failed. **An auxiliary leg is never fatal**, so a `leg` of `'screenshare'` means "the screen share failed, the call continues" and should be surfaced as such. Both fields are absent for call- and session-level errors, and `callId` is always the call's own ID — never the leg's.

## **Examples**

```ts
call.errors$.subscribe(({ error, fatal, leg }) => {
  if (leg === 'screenshare') {
    toast('Screen share failed — you are still connected.');
    return;
  }
  if (fatal) {
    showCallEnded(error);
  } else {
    console.warn('Recoverable call error:', error);
  }
});
```

## **See**

* [`CallError`](/docs/browser-sdk/v4/reference/interfaces/call-error) — the emitted shape.
* [`MediaAccessError`](/docs/browser-sdk/v4/reference/errors/media-access-error) — the most common non-fatal error to branch on.
