{{APIRef("WebVR API")}}{{Deprecated_Header}}{{Non-standard_Header}}
The maxLayers read-only property of the {{domxref("VRDisplayCapabilities")}} interface returns a number indicating the maximum number of {{domxref("VRLayerInit")}}s that the VR display can present at once (e.g., the maximum length of the array that {{domxref("VRDisplay.requestPresent()")}} can accept.)
[!NOTE] This property was part of the old WebVR API. It has been superseded by the WebXR Device API.
A number, which must be 1 if {{domxref("VRDisplayCapabilities.canPresent")}} is true, or 0 otherwise.
See VRDisplayCapabilities for example code.
This property was part of the old WebVR API that has been superseded by the WebXR Device API. It is no longer on track to becoming a standard.
Until all browsers have implemented the new WebXR APIs, it is recommended to rely on frameworks, like A-Frame, Babylon.js, or Three.js, or a polyfill, to develop WebXR applications that will work across all browsers. Read Meta's Porting from WebVR to WebXR guide for more information.
