Interface IAgoraRTCClient

An interface providing the local client with basic functions for a voice or video call, such as joining a channel, publishing tracks, or subscribing to tracks.

An AgoraRTCClient object is created by the [[createClient]] method.

Hierarchy

  • EventEmitter
    • IAgoraRTCClient

Properties

channelName?: string

The current channel name.

The value is undefined if the local user has not joined a channel.

connectionState: ConnectionState

Connection state between the SDK and the Agora server.

localTracks: ILocalTrack[]

Since
   4.0.0

The list of the local tracks that the local user is publishing.

  • After a success method call of [[publish]], the published track object is added to this list automatically.
  • After a success method call of [[unpublish]], the unpublished track object is removed from this list automatically.
remoteUsers: IAgoraRTCRemoteUser[]

A list of the remote users in the channel, each of which includes the user ID and the corresponding track information.

The list is empty if the local user has not joined a channel.

uid?: UID

The ID of the local user.

The value is undefined if the local user has not joined a channel.

Methods - Agora Core

  • Allows a user to join a channel.

    Users in the same channel can talk to each other.

    When joining a channel, the [AgoraRTCClient.on("connection-state-change")]__type callback is triggered on the local client.

    After joining a channel, if the user is in the communication profile, or is a host in the Live Broadcast profile, the [AgoraRTCClient.on("user-joined")]__type callback is triggered on the remote client.

    Parameters

    • appid: string

      The App ID of your Agora project.

    • channel: string

      A string that provides a unique channel name for the call. The length must be within 64 bytes. Supported character scopes:

      • All lowercase English letters: a to z.
      • All uppercase English letters: A to Z.
      • All numeric characters: 0 to 9.
      • The space character.
      • Punctuation characters and other symbols, including: "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", " {", "}", "|", "~", ",".
    • token: null | string

      The token generated at your server:

    • Optional uid: null | UID

      The user ID, an integer or a string, ASCII characters only. Ensure this ID is unique. If you set the uid to null, the Agora server assigns a number uid and returns it in the Promise object.

      • If you use a number as the user ID, it should be a 32-bit unsigned integer with a value ranging from 0 to (232-1).
      • If you use a string as the user ID, the maximum length is 255 characters.
      To ensure a better end-user experience, Agora recommends using a number as the user ID.

      Note:

      • All users in the same channel should have the same type (number or string) of uid.
      • You can use string UIDs to interoperate with the Native SDK 2.8 or later. Ensure that the Native SDK uses the User Account to join the channel. See Use String User Accounts.
      • To ensure the data accuracy in Agora Analytics, Agora recommends that you specify uid for each user and ensure it is unique.

    Returns Promise<UID>

    A Promise object with the user ID.

    • If you pass a number as the user ID, the SDK returns a number uid.
    • If you pass a string as the user ID, the SDK returns a string uid.
    • If you leave the uid parameter empty or set it as null, the Agora server assigns a number uid and returns it.
  • Leaves a channel.

    When leaving the channel, the [AgoraRTCClient.on("connection-state-change")]IAgoraRTCClient.event_connection_state_change callback is triggered on the local client.

    When a user (in the communication profile) or a host (in the live-broadcast profile) leaves the channel, the [AgoraRTCClient.on("user-left")]IAgoraRTCClient.event_user_left callback is triggered on each remote client in the channel.

    Returns Promise<void>

  • Publishes local audio and/or video tracks to a channel.

    After publishing the local tracks, the [AgoraRTCClient.on("user-published")]__type callback is triggered on the remote client.

    Note:

    • In an interactive live streaming, call setClientRole to set the user role as the host before calling this method.
    • You can call this method multiple times to add tracks for publishing.
    • An AgoraRTCClient object can publish multiple audio tracks. The SDK automatically mixes the audio tracks into one audio track. Exception: Safari does not support publishing multiple audio tracks on versions earlier than Safari 12.
    • An AgoraRTCClient object can publish only one video track. If you want to switch the published video track, for example, from a camera video track to a scree-sharing video track, you must unpublish the published video track.

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<void>

  • Subscribes to the audio and/or video tracks of a remote user.

    await client.subscribe(user"audio");
    user.audioTrack.play();

    Parameters

    • user: IAgoraRTCRemoteUser

      The remote user.

    • mediaType: "video"

      The media type of the tracks to subscribe to.

      • "video": Subscribe to the video track only.
      • "audio": Subscribe to the audio track only.

    Returns Promise<IRemoteVideoTrack>

    When the subscription succeeds, the SDK adds the subscribed tracks to [user.audioTrack]audioTrack and [user.videoTrack]videoTrack. You can go on to call [audioTrack.play]play or [videoTrack.play]play to play the tracks.

    The Promise object throws the TRACK_IS_NOT_PUBLISHED error if the specified tracks do not exist.

  • Subscribes to the audio and/or video tracks of a remote user.

    await client.subscribe(user"audio");
    user.audioTrack.play();

    Parameters

    • user: IAgoraRTCRemoteUser

      The remote user.

    • mediaType: "audio"

      The media type of the tracks to subscribe to.

      • "video": Subscribe to the video track only.
      • "audio": Subscribe to the audio track only.

    Returns Promise<IRemoteAudioTrack>

    When the subscription succeeds, the SDK adds the subscribed tracks to [user.audioTrack]audioTrack and [user.videoTrack]videoTrack. You can go on to call [audioTrack.play]play or [videoTrack.play]play to play the tracks.

    The Promise object throws the TRACK_IS_NOT_PUBLISHED error if the specified tracks do not exist.

  • Subscribes to the audio and/or video tracks of a remote user.

    await client.subscribe(user"audio");
    user.audioTrack.play();

    Parameters

    • user: IAgoraRTCRemoteUser

      The remote user.

    • mediaType: "audio" | "video" | "datachannel"

      The media type of the tracks to subscribe to.

      • "video": Subscribe to the video track only.
      • "audio": Subscribe to the audio track only.
      • "datachannel": Reserved for future use.
    • Optional channelId: number

    Returns Promise<IRemoteTrack | IRemoteDataChannel>

    When the subscription succeeds, the SDK adds the subscribed tracks to [user.audioTrack]audioTrack and [user.videoTrack]videoTrack. You can go on to call [audioTrack.play]play or [videoTrack.play]play to play the tracks.

    The Promise object throws the TRACK_IS_NOT_PUBLISHED error if the specified tracks do not exist.

  • Unpublishes the local audio and/or video tracks.

    After the local client unpublishes, the [AgoraRTCClient.on("user-unpublished")]__type callback is triggered on each remote client in the channel.

    Note: In an interactive live streaming, after a host unpublishes the local tracks, the SDK does not automatically change the role of this host to the audience. To change the user role, you must call setClientRole.

Methods - Channel Media Relay

  • Starts relaying media streams across channels.

    After this method call, the SDK triggers the following callbacks:

    • [AgoraRTCClient.on("channel-media-relay-state")]__type, which reports the state and error code of the media stream relay.
      • If the media stream relay fails, this callback returns state 3. Refer to code for the error code and call this method again.
    • [AgoraRTCClient.on("channel-media-relay-event")]__type, which reports the events of the media stream relay.
      • If the media stream relay starts successfully, this callback returns code 4, reporting that the SDK starts relaying the media stream to the destination channel.

    Note:

    • Contact sales-us@agora.io to enable this function.
    • We do not support string user IDs in this API.
    • Call this method only after joining a channel.
    • In a live-broadcast channel, only a host can call this method.
    • To call this method again after it succeeds, you must call stopChannelMediaRelay to quit the current relay.
    client.startChannelMediaRelay(config).then(() => {
    console.log("startChannelMediaRelay success");
    }).catch(e => {
    console.log("startChannelMediaRelay failed", e);
    })

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<void>

    A Promise object, which is resolved if the media relay starts successfully.

  • Stops the media stream relay.

    Once the relay stops, the user leaves all the destination channels.

    Returns Promise<void>

    A Promise object, which is resolved if the relay stops successfully.

  • Updates the destination channels for media stream relay.

    After the channel media relay starts, if you want to relay the media stream to more channels, or leave the current relay channel, you can call this method.

    Note:

    • Call this method after startChannelMediaRelay.
    • You can add a maximum of four destination channels to a relay.

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<void>

    A Promise object, which is resolved if the update succeeds. If the update fails, the media relay state is reset, and you need to call startChannelMediaRelay again to restart the relay.

Methods - Dual Stream

  • Disables dual-stream mode.

    Returns Promise<void>

  • Enables dual-stream mode.

    Enables dual-stream mode for the local stream. Dual streams are a hybrid of a high-quality video stream and a low-quality video stream:

    • High-quality video stream: High bitrate, high resolution.
    • Low-quality video stream: Low bitrate, low resolution. The default video profile of the low-quality stream is: A resolution (width × height) of 160 × 120 px, a bitrate of 50 Kbps, and a frame rate of 15 fps. Call setLowStreamParameter to customize the video profile of the low-quality stream.

    Note:

    • enableDualStream does not apply to the audio-only mode.
    • On Android Chrome, the Web SDK cannot send high-quality and low-quality streams in H.264.
    client.enableDualStream().then(() => {
    console.log("Enable Dual stream success!");
    }).catch(err => {
    console.log(err);
    })

    Returns Promise<void>

  • Sets the video profile of the low-quality video stream.

    If you have enabled the dual-stream mode by calling enableDualStream, use this method to set the low-quality video stream profile.

    If you do not set the low-quality video stream profile, the SDK assigns the default values based on your stream video profile.

    Note:

    • Firefox: Frame rate settings do not take effect. The browser sets the frame rate as 30 fps.
    • iOS Safari: The browser does not support setting LowStreamParameter.bitrate. The resolution of the low-quality stream must be proportional to the resolution of the high-quality stream.
    • Due to limitations of some devices and browsers, the resolution you set may get adjusted by the browser. In this case, billings are calculated based on the actual resolution.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Sets the video type of all of the remote stream.

    If a remote user enables dual-stream mode, after using this method, local client will subscribe the specified streamType by default. The local client subscribes to the high-quality video stream by default.

    • Agora suggests calling setRemoteDefaultVideoStreamType before joining the channel.
    • The method call of setRemoteVideoStreamType to set the video stream type of a specified remote user overrides this method.

    Parameters

    • streamType: RemoteStreamType

      The remote video stream type:

      • 0: High-bitrate, high-resolution video stream.
      • 1: Low-bitrate, low-resolution video stream.

    Returns Promise<void>

  • Sets which video stream of a remote user to subscribe to.

    If a remote user enables dual-stream mode, the user sends a hybrid of a high-quality video stream and a low-quality video stream. Use this method to set which video stream to subscribe to. The local client subscribes to the high-quality video stream by default.

    This method works only if the remote user has enabled dual-stream mode (enableDualStream). If both this method and setStreamFallbackOption are called, the actual video stream that the user subscribes to depends on the fallback option set in setStreamFallbackOption.

    Parameters

    • uid: UID

      The ID of the remote user.

    • streamType: RemoteStreamType

      The remote video stream type:

      • 0: High-bitrate, high-resolution video stream.
      • 1: Low-bitrate, low-resolution video stream.

    Returns Promise<void>

  • Sets the stream fallback option.

    Use this method to set the fallback option for the subscribed video stream. Under poor network conditions, the SDK can subscribe to the low-quality video stream or only to the audio stream.

    If the auto-fallback option is enabled, the SDK triggers the [AgoraRTCClient.on("stream-type-changed")]__type callback when the remote stream changes from a high-quality video stream to a low-quality video stream or vice versa, and triggers the [AgoraRTCClient.on("stream-fallback")]__type callback when the remote stream changes from a video stream to an audio stream or vice versa.

    This method works only if the remote user has enabled the dual-stream mode by enableDualStream.

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<void>

Methods - Live Streaming

  • Publishes the local stream to the CDN.

    See Push Streams to the CDN for details.

    Note:

    • This method adds only one stream HTTP/HTTPS URL address each time it is called.
    • Pushing streams to the CDN is not supported on mobile devices.

    Parameters

    • url: string

      The CDN streaming URL in the RTMP format. ASCII characters only.

    • Optional transcodingEnabled: boolean

      Whether to enable live transcoding. Transcoding sets the audio and video profiles and the picture-in-picture layout for the stream to be pushed to the CDN. It is often used to combine the audio and video streams of multiple hosts in a CDN live stream.

      If set as true, setLiveTranscoding must be called before this method.

      • true: Enable transcoding.
      • false: (Default) Disable transcoding.

    Returns Promise<void>

  • Removes a URL from CDN live streaming.

    This method removes only one URL address each time it is called. To remove multiple URLs, call this method multiple times.

    Parameters

    • url: string

      The URL to be removed.

    Returns Promise<void>

Methods - Other

  • Enables the volume indicator.

    This method enables the SDK to regularly report the local and remote users who are speaking and their volumes.

    After the volume indicator is enabled, the SDK triggers the [AgoraRTCClient.on("volume-indicator")]__type callback to report the volumes every two seconds, regardless of whether there are active speakers in the channel.

    If the local user leaves the channel and rejoins the channel, you need to call enableAudioVolumeIndicator again.

    client.enableAudioVolumeIndicator();
    client.on("volume-indicator", volumes => {
    volumes.forEach((volume, index) => {
    console.log(`${index} UID ${volume.uid} Level ${volume.level}`);
    });
    })

          Events

    Returns void

  • Parameters

    • event: "user-joined"

      The event name.

    • listener: ((user) => void)

      See [user-joined]__type.

        • (user): void
        • Occurs when a remote user or host joins the channel.

          • In a communication channel, this callback indicates that another user joins the channel and reports the ID of that user. The SDK also triggers this callback to report the existing users in the channel when a user joins the channel.
          • In a live-broadcast channel, this callback indicates that a host joins the channel. The SDK also triggers this callback to report the existing hosts in the channel when a user joins the channel. Ensure that you have no more than 17 hosts in a channel.

          The SDK triggers this callback when one of the following situations occurs:

          • A remote user or host joins the channel by calling join.
          • A remote audience switches the user role to host by calling setClientRole after joining the channel.
          • A remote user or host rejoins the channel after a network interruption.

          Parameters

          Events

    Returns void

  • Parameters

    • event: "user-left"

      The event name.

    • listener: ((user, reason) => void)

      See [user-left]__type.

        • (user, reason): void
        • Occurs when a remote user becomes offline.

          The SDK triggers this callback when one of the following situations occurs:

          • A remote user calls leave and leaves the channel.
          • A remote user has dropped offline. If no data packet of the user or host is received for 20 seconds, the SDK assumes that the user has dropped offline. A poor network connection may cause a false positive.
          • A remote user switches the client role from host to audience.

          In live-broadcast channels, the SDK triggers this callback only when a host goes offline.

          Parameters

          • user: IAgoraRTCRemoteUser

            Information of the user who is offline.

          • reason: string

          Events

    Returns void

  • Parameters

    • event: "user-info-updated"

      The event name.

    • listener: ((uid, msg) => void)

      See [user-info-updated]__type.

        • (uid, msg): void
        • Reports the state change of users.

          In most cases, you only need to listen for [user-published]IAgoraRTCClient.event_user_published and [user-unpublished]IAgoraRTCClient.event_user_unpublished events for operations including subscribing, unsubscribing, and displaying whether the remote user turns on the camera and microphone. You do not need to pay special attention to user states since the SDK automatically handles user states.

          This event indicating the media stream of a remote user is active does not necessarily mean that the local user can subscribe to this remote user. The local user can subscribe to a remote user only when receiving the [user-published]IAgoraRTCClient.event_user_published event.

          Parameters

          • uid: UID

            The ID of the remote user.

          • msg: "mute-audio" | "mute-video" | "unmute-audio" | "unmute-video" | "enable-local-video" | "disable-local-video"

            The current user state. Note that the "enable-local-video" and "disable-local-video" states are only for synchronizing states with the clients that integrate the RTC Native SDK.

      See [join-fallback-to-proxy]__type.

        • (proxyServer): void
        • DEPRECATED from v4.19.0. This callback will not be triggered because the SDK stops using proxy to ensure connectivity.

          Occurs when the SDK automatically switches to TCP/TLS 443.

          As of v4.11.0, if the SDK fails in the attempt to directly connect to Agora SD-RTN™ after you call [[join]], the SDK automatically switches to TCP/TLS 443 in order to ensure connectivity.

          Parameters

        • Since
             4.11.0

          If you enable support for 128 hosts in a channel, this callback is triggered when [[join]] is called. The callback reports remote users who publish audio and/or video tracks in the channel.

          Note:

          • For the published-user-list to be triggered, every user in the channel must use a number as their user ID (uid).
          • published-user-list has the following impacts on [AgoraRTCClient.on("user-joined")]__type and [AgoraRTCClient.on("user-published")]__type:
            • If you listen for the published-user-list event, users reported by the published-user-list callback are not reported by user-joined and user-published.
            • If you do not listen for the published-user-list event, the user-joined and user-published callbacks are not affected.

    Parameters

    • token: string

      The new token.

    Returns Promise<void>

  • Reports customized messages to Agora's data center.

    Temporarily, Agora supports reporting a maximum of 20 message pieces within 5 seconds.

    Parameters

    • reports: EventCustomReportParams | EventCustomReportParams[]

      Messages. You can report multiple messages one time.

      client.sendCustomReportMessage({

  • Sets the user role and level in a live streaming (when [mode]mode is "live").

    • The user role determines the permissions that the SDK grants to a user, such as permission to publish local streams, subscribe to remote streams, and push streams to a CDN address. You can set the user role as "host" or "audience". A host can publish and subscribe to streams, while an audience member can only subscribe to streams. The default role in a live streaming is "audience". Before publishing tracks, you must call this method to set the user role as "host".
    • The detailed options of a user, including the user level. The user level determines the level of services that a user can enjoy within the permissions of the user's role. For example, an audience can choose to receive remote streams with low latency or ultra low latency. Levels affect prices.

    Note:

    • When [mode]mode is "rtc", this method does not take effect and all users are "host" by default.
    • If the local client switches the user role after joining a channel, the SDK triggers the [AgoraRTCClient.on("user-joined")]__type or [AgoraRTCClient.on("user-left")]__type callback on the remote client.
    • To switch the user role to "audience" after calling publish, call unpublish first. Otherwise the method call fails and throws an exception.

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<void>

  • Sets the encryption configurations.

    Use this method to enable the built-in encryption before joining a channel.

    If the encryption configurations are incorrect, the SDK triggers the [AgoraRTCClient.on("crypt-error")]__type callback when publishing tracks or subscribing to tracks.

    Notes:

    • All users in a channel must use the same encryption mode, secret, and salt.
    • You must call this method before joining a channel, otherwise the method call does not take effect and encryption is not enabled.
    • As of v4.7.0, after a user leaves the channel, the SDK automatically disables the built-in encryption. To re-enable the built-in encryption, call this method before the user joins the channel again.
    • Do not use this method for CDN live streaming.

    Parameters

    • encryptionMode: EncryptionMode

      The encryption mode.

    • secret: string

      The encryption secret. ASCII characters only. When a user uses a weak secret, the SDK outputs a warning message to the Web Console and prompts the users to set a strong secret. A strong secret must contain at least eight characters and be a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Due to browser encryption algorithm limitations, the secret length cannot exceed 62 characters. Agora recommends you use OpenSSL to generate the secret on your server. For details, see Media Stream Encryption.

    • Optional salt: Uint8Array

      The salt. Only valid when you set the encryption mode as "aes-128-gcm2" or "aes-256-gcm2". Agora recommends you use OpenSSL to generate the salt on your server. For details, see Media Stream Encryption.

    Returns void

  • Disables the third-party video moderation service.

    Parameters

    • enabled: false

      Default is false and can only be set to false.

    Returns Promise<void>

  • Enables and configures the third-party video moderation service.

    After calling this method, the SDK triggers the [image-moderation-connection-state-change]__type callback, and captures the snapshots of the locally sent video to send to the third-party service provider for moderation.

    • Before calling this method, make sure the following requirements are met:
      • You have activated the third-party video moderation service.
      • The local user has joined the channel, and the local video track has been published and enabled.

    Parameters

    • enabled: true

      Default is true and can only be set to true.

    • config: ImageModerationConfiguration

      Configuration for the video moderation service. See ImageModerationConfiguration.

    Returns Promise<void>

Methods - Proxy

  • Deploys your proxy server.

    Do not use this method and startProxyServer together. They have the following differences:

    • setProxyServer: This method allows you to use a custom proxy server for purposes including signaling transmission, log uploading, and event reporting. But it cannot be used for media transmission.
    • startProxyServer: This method provides Agora's cloud proxy service, which handles media and signaling transmission with simple setup. For more information, refer to [Using Cloud Proxy Service](https://docs.agora.io/en/ video-call-4.x/cloud_proxy_web_ng?platform=Web).

    Note:

    • Call this method before join.
    • Proxy services by different service providers may result in slow performance if you are using the Firefox browser. Therefore, Agora recommends using the same service provider for the proxy services. If you use different service providers, Agora recommends not using the Firefox browser.

    Parameters

    • proxyServer: string

      Your proxy server domain name. ASCII characters only.

    Returns void

  • Enables cloud proxy.

    You must call this method before joining the channel or after leaving the channel.

    For the extra settings required for using the cloud proxy service, see Use Cloud Proxy.

    Parameters

    • Optional mode: number

      Cloud proxy mode:

      • 3: The cloud proxy for the UDP protocol, that is, the Force UDP cloud proxy mode. In this mode, the SDK always transmits data over UDP.
      • 5: The cloud proxy for the TCP (encryption) protocol, that is, the Force TCP cloud proxy mode. In this mode, the SDK always transmits data over TLS 443.

      Note: As of v4.15.0, the default value of mode is 3.

    Returns void

  • Disables cloud proxy.

    You must call this method before joining the channel or after leaving the channel.

    Returns void
