Upload and Retrieve the Temporary File - Javascript

This guide demonstrates how to upload and retrieve files from VideoSDK's temporary file storage system.

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({
  // ...
});

const 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,
});

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 = await meeting.fetchBase64File({
  url: "<Your FileUrl>"; // Provide fileUrl which is returned by uploadBase64File(),
  token :"<VIDEOSDK_TOKEN>",
});

console.log("base64", base64);

note

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