Set Participant Video Quality - Android

This feature allows participants to set other participants' video quality during the meeting.

info

setQuality() picks one of the simulcast layers that a participant's webcam publishes, so it only has an effect when that participant publishes with multiStream on. In the Android SDK, multiStream is on by default. A webcam sent with a codec other than VP8 publishes a single layer.

Set Quality

• setQuality method will accept low, med or high as string parameter. Any other value throws IllegalArgumentException.
• It is a suspend function, so call it from a coroutine.

private fun setQuality() {
  lifecycleScope.launch {
    // copy the participants: the map changes as participants join and leave
    for (participant in meeting.participants.values.toList()) {
      try {
        participant.setQuality("low")
        //or
        participant.setQuality("med")
        //or
        participant.setQuality("high")
      } catch (e: VideoSDKException) {
        Log.e("VideoSDK", "setQuality failed: ${e.code} ${e.name}")
      }
    }
  }
}
