  console.log(`Stream ${kind} paused due to: ${reason}`);
  // reason: "muted" or "leastDominance"
});

// Listen for video stream resume events
participant.on("stream-resumed", ({ kind, reason }) => {
  console.log(`Stream ${kind} resumed due to: ${reason}`);
  // reason: "adaptiveSubscriptionsDisabled" or "networkStable"
});

3. Player Components (BETA)​

Intelligently manages video streams based on viewport visibility to reduce bandwidth usage.

Video Rendering​
const videoElement = participant.renderVideo({
  type: "video", // or "share" for screen sharing
  maxQuality: "auto", // auto-adjusts based on container size
  videoStyle: {},
  containerStyle: {
    width: "1280px",
    height: "720px",
  },
});
document.getElementById("video-container").appendChild(videoElement);
Audio Rendering​
const audioElement = participant.renderAudio({
  type: "audio", // or "shareAudio" for screen share audio
});
document.body.appendChild(audioElement);

Benefits​

  • Reduced bandwidth consumption for large meetings
  • Smart prioritization of active speakers
  • Improved call quality for users with network constraints

v0.1.5​

Release Date : 20th Feb 2025

Change Log :

1. Enhanced Meeting Connection Flow:​
  • The CONNECTED state will now trigger only after both WebSocket and media connections are successfully established, ensuring a more accurate meeting state. Previously, it was triggered upon WebSocket connection alone.
