Custom Video Track - React Native

  • You can create a Video Track using createCameraVideoTrack() method of @videosdk.live/react-native-sdk.
  • This method can be used to create video track using different encoding parameters, camera facing mode, bitrateMode, maxLayer and optimization mode.

Parameters

  • cameraId:

    • type: String
    • required: false
    • It will be the id of the camera from which the video should be captured.
  • encoderConfig:

    • type: String
    • required: false
    • default: h360p_w640p
    • You can choose from the below mentioned list of values for the encoder config.

note

Above mentioned encoder configurations are valid for both, landscape as well as portrait mode.

  • facingMode:

    • type: String
    • required: false
    • Allowed values : user | environment
    • It will specify whether to use front or back camera for the video track.
  • optimizationMode

    • type: String
    • required: false
    • Allowed values: motion | text | detail
    • It will specify the optimization mode for the video track being generated.
  • multiStream

    • type: boolean
    • required: false
    • default: true
    • It will specify if the stream should send multiple resolution layers or single resolution layer.
  • bitrateMode:

    • type: String
    • required: false
    • Allowed values : bandwidth_optimized | balanced | high_quality
    • Controls the video quality and bandwidth consumption. You can choose between high_quality for the best picture, bandwidth_optimized to save data, or balanced for a mix of both. Defaults to balanced.
  • maxLayer:

    • type: Number
    • required: false
    • Allowed values : 2 | 3
    • default: 3
    • Specifies the maximum number of simulcast layers to publish. This parameter only has an effect if multiStream is set to true.
