The `WebTransportReceiveStream` interface of the {{domxref("WebTransport API", "WebTransport API", "", "nocode")}} is a {{domxref("ReadableStream")}} that can be used to read from an incoming unidirectional or bidirectional {{domxref("WebTransport")}} stream.

The stream is a [readable byte stream](/en-US/docs/Web/API/Streams_API/Using_readable_byte_streams) of [`Uint8Array`](/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Uint8Array), and can be consumed using either a BYOB reader ([`ReadableStreamBYOBReader`](/en-US/docs/Web/API/ReadableStreamBYOBReader)) or the default reader ([`ReadableStreamDefaultReader`](/en-US/docs/Web/API/ReadableStreamDefaultReader)).

Objects of this type are not constructed directly.
Instead they are obtained using the [`WebTransport.incomingUnidirectionalStream`](/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebTransport/incomingUnidirectionalStreams) property.

`WebTransportReceiveStream` is a [transferable object](/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API/Transferable_objects).
