note

This page uses the following asynchronous methods. Refer to their API reference for the errors each Promise may reject with, and handle these rejections appropriately based on your use case.

• uploadBase64File()
• fetchBase64File()

uploadBase64File()

• By using the uploadBase64File() function of the Meeting class, you can upload your file to Videosdk's Temporary storage.

• The uploadBase64File() function only works with base64. Therefore, it is necessary to convert your file into base64 format.

• You have to pass base64Data,token,fileName as parameter in uploadBase64File() function.

• The function will return the corresponding fileUrl, which you can then use to retrieve the file.

let meeting;

// Initialize Meeting
meeting = VideoSDK.initMeeting({
  // ...
});

let fileUrl;
try {
  fileUrl = await meeting.uploadBase64File({
    base64Data: "<Your File's base64>", // Convert your file to base64 and pass here
    token: "<VIDEOSDK_TOKEN>",
    fileName: "myImage.jpeg", // Provide name with extension here,
  });
} catch (err) {
  console.error("uploadBase64File failed:", err);
}

fetchBase64File()

• By using the fetchBase64File() method of the Meeting class, you can retrieve your file from the Videosdk's Temporary storage.

• You have to pass the fileUrl which is returned by uploadBase64File() function, and the token as parameters to retrieve a file.

• This method will return the image in the form of base64.

let meeting;

// Initialize Meeting
meeting = VideoSDK.initMeeting({
  // ...
});

let base64;
try {
  base64 = await meeting.fetchBase64File({
    url: "<Your FileUrl>"; // Provide fileUrl which is returned by uploadBase64File(),
    token :"<VIDEOSDK_TOKEN>",
  });
} catch (err) {
  console.error("fetchBase64File failed:", err);
}

console.log("base64", base64);

note

The file stored in the system will be automatically deleted once the current room/meeting comes to an end.
