Change Log :
-
The default value of the
preferredProtocol
property ininitMeeting()
has been changed to UDP_OVER_TCP. This means meetings will attempt to use UDP for faster data transfer, but will gracefully fallback to TCP if UDP encounters issues in your network environment. -

preferredProtocol
parameter ofinitMeeting()
