IRtcEngine
The basic interface of the Agora SDK that implements the core functions of real-time communication.
IRtcEngine provides the main methods that your app can call.
Before calling other APIs, you must call CreateAgoraRtcEngine to create an IRtcEngine object.
InitEventHandler
Adds event handlers
public abstract int InitEventHandler(IRtcEngineEventHandler engineEventHandler);
Details
The SDK uses the IRtcEngineEventHandler class to send callbacks to the app. The app inherits the methods of this class to receive these callbacks. All methods in this class have default (empty) implementations. Therefore, apps only need to inherits callbacks according to the scenarios. In the callbacks, avoid time-consuming tasks or calling APIs that can block the thread, such as the SendStreamMessage method. Otherwise, the SDK may not work properly.
Parameters
- engineEventHandler
- Callback events to be added. See IRtcEngineEventHandler.
Returns
- 0: Success.
- < 0: Failure.
AddVideoWatermark [1/2]
Adds a watermark image to the local video.
public abstract int AddVideoWatermark(RtcImage watermark);
Details
- Deprecated:
- This method is deprecated. Use AddVideoWatermark [2/2] instead.
This method adds a PNG watermark image to the local video stream in a live streaming session. Once the watermark image is added, all the users in the channel (CDN audience included) and the video capturing device can see and capture it. If you only want to add a watermark to the CDN live streaming, see StartRtmpStreamWithTranscoding.
- The URL descriptions are different for the local video and CDN live streaming: In a local video stream, URL refers to the absolute path of the added watermark image file in the local video stream. In a CDN live stream, URL refers to the URL address of the added watermark image in the CDN live streaming.
- The source file of the watermark image must be in the PNG file format. If the width and height of the PNG file differ from your settings in this method, the PNG file will be cropped to conform to your settings.
- The Agora SDK supports adding only one watermark image onto a local video or CDN live stream. The newly added watermark image replaces the previous one.
Parameters
- watermark
- The watermark image to be added to the local live streaming: RtcImage.
Returns
- 0: Success.
- < 0: Failure.
AddVideoWatermark [2/2]
Adds a watermark image to the local video.
public abstract int AddVideoWatermark(string watermarkUrl, WatermarkOptions options);
Details
This method adds a PNG watermark image to the local video in the live streaming. Once the watermark image is added, all the audience in the channel (CDN audience included), and the capturing device can see and capture it. The Agora SDK supports adding only one watermark image onto a local video or CDN live stream. The newly added watermark image replaces the previous one.
- If the orientation mode of the encoding video (ORIENTATION_MODE) is fixed landscape mode or the adaptive landscape mode, the watermark uses the landscape orientation.
- If the orientation mode of the encoding video (ORIENTATION_MODE) is fixed portrait mode or the adaptive portrait mode, the watermark uses the portrait orientation.
- When setting the watermark position, the region must be less than the dimensions set in the SetVideoEncoderConfiguration method; otherwise, the watermark image will be cropped.
- Ensure that calling this method after EnableVideo.
- If you only want to add a watermark to the media push, you can call this method or the StartRtmpStreamWithTranscoding method.
- This method supports adding a watermark image in the PNG file format only. Supported pixel formats of the PNG image are RGBA, RGB, Palette, Gray, and Alpha_gray.
- If the dimensions of the PNG image differ from your settings in this method, the image will be cropped or zoomed to conform to your settings.
- If you have enabled the mirror mode for the local video, the watermark on the local video is also mirrored. To avoid mirroring the watermark, Agora recommends that you do not use the mirror and watermark functions for the local video at the same time. You can implement the watermark function in your application layer.
Parameters
- watermarkUrl
- The local file path of the watermark image to be added. This method supports adding a watermark image from the local absolute or relative file path.
- options
- The options of the watermark image to be added. See WatermarkOptions.

Dispose
Releases the IRtcEngine instance.
public abstract void Dispose(bool sync = false);
Details
This method releases all resources used by the Agora SDK. Use this method for apps in which users occasionally make voice or video calls. When users do not make calls, you can free up resources for other operations.
After a successful method call, you can no longer use any method or callback in the SDK anymore. If you want to use the real-time communication functions again, you must call CreateAgoraRtcEngine and Initialize to create a new IRtcEngine instance.
- This method can be called synchronously. You need to wait for the resource of IRtcEngine to be released before performing other operations (for example, create a new IRtcEngine object). Therefore, Agora recommends calling this method in the child thread to avoid blocking the main thread.
- Besides, Agora does not recommend you calling Dispose in any callback of the SDK. Otherwise, the SDK cannot release the resources until the callbacks return results, which may result in a deadlock.
Parameters
- sync
-
Whether the method is called synchronously:
true
: Synchronous call.false
: Asynchronous call. Currently this method only supports synchronous calls. Do not set this parameter to this value.
EnableAudio

Call timing
This method can be called either before or after joining the channel. It is still valid after one leaves channel.
Restrictions
- Calling this method will reset the entire engine, resulting in a slow response time. You can use the following methods to independently control a specific function of the audio module based on your actual needs:
- EnableLocalAudio: Whether to enable the microphone to create the local audio stream.
- MuteLocalAudioStream: Whether to publish the local audio stream.
- MuteRemoteAudioStream: Whether to subscribe and play the remote audio stream.
- MuteAllRemoteAudioStreams: Whether to subscribe to and play all remote audio streams.
- A successful call of this method resets EnableLocalAudio, MuteRemoteAudioStream, and MuteAllRemoteAudioStreams. Proceed it with caution.
Returns
- 0: Success.
- < 0: Failure.

JoinChannel [1/2]
Joins a channel.
public abstract int JoinChannel(string token, string channelId, string info = "", uint uid = 0);
By default, the user subscribes to the audio and video streams of all the other users in the channel, giving rise to usage and billings. To stop subscribing to a specified stream or all remote streams, call the corresponding mute methods.
Call timing
Call this method after Initialize.
Restrictions
- This method only supports users joining one channel at a time.
- Users with different App IDs cannot call each other.
- Before joining a channel, ensure that the App ID you use to generate a token is the same as that you pass in the Initialize method; otherwise, you may fail to join the channel with the token.
Parameters
- token
- The token generated on your server for authentication. See .Note:
- (Recommended) If your project has enabled the security mode (using APP ID and Token for authentication), this parameter is required.
- If you have only enabled the testing mode (using APP ID for authentication), this parameter is optional. You will automatically exit the channel 24 hours after successfully joining in.
- If you need to join different channels at the same time or switch between channels, Agora recommends using a wildcard token so that you don't need to apply for a new token every time joining a channel. See Secure authentication with tokens.
- channelId
-
The channel name. This parameter signifies the channel in which users engage in real-time audio and video interaction. Under the premise of the same App ID, users who fill in the same channel ID enter the same channel for audio and video interaction. The string length must be less than 64 bytes. Supported characters (89 characters in total):
- All lowercase English letters: a to z.
- All uppercase English letters: A to Z.
- All numeric characters: 0 to 9.
- "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", "{", "}", "|", "~", ","
- info
- (Optional) Reserved for future use.
- uid
- The user ID. This parameter is used to identify the user in the channel for real-time audio and video interaction. You need to set and manage user IDs yourself, and ensure that each user ID in the same channel is unique. This parameter is a 32-bit unsigned integer. The value range is 1 to 232-1. If the user ID is not assigned (or set to 0), the SDK assigns a random user ID and OnJoinChannelSuccess returns it in the callback. Your application must record and maintain the returned user ID, because the SDK does not do so.
Returns
- 0: Success.
- < 0: Failure.
- -2: The parameter is invalid. For example, the token is invalid, the uid parameter is not set to an integer, or the value of a member in ChannelMediaOptions is invalid. You need to pass in a valid parameter and join the channel again.
- -3: Fails to initialize the IRtcEngine object. You need to reinitialize the IRtcEngine object.
- -7: The IRtcEngine object has not been initialized. You need to initialize the IRtcEngine object before calling this method.
- -8: The internal state of the IRtcEngine object is wrong. The typical cause is that after calling StartEchoTest to start a call loop test, you call this method to join the channel without calling StopEchoTest to stop the test. You need to call StopEchoTest before calling this method.
- -17: The request to join the channel is rejected. The typical cause is that the user is already in the channel. Agora recommends that you use the OnConnectionStateChanged callback to see whether the user is in the channel. Do not call this method to join the channel unless you receive the CONNECTION_STATE_DISCONNECTED(1) state.
- -102: The channel name is invalid. You need to pass in a valid channel name in channelId to rejoin the channel.
- -121: The user ID is invalid. You need to pass in a valid user ID in uid to rejoin the channel.

PreloadChannel
Preloads a channel with token, channelId, and uid.
public abstract int PreloadChannel(string token, string channelId, uint uid);
When audience members need to switch between different channels frequently, calling the method can help shortening the time of joining a channel, thus reducing the time it takes for audience members to hear and see the host.
If you join a preloaded channel, leave it and want to rejoin the same channel, you do not need to call this method unless the token for preloading the channel expires.
Call timing
To improve the user experience of preloading channels, Agora recommends that before joining the channel, calling this method as early as possible once confirming the channel name and user information.
Restrictions
- When calling this method, ensure you set the user role as audience and do not set the audio scenario as AUDIO_SCENARIO_CHORUS, otherwise, this method does not take effect.
- You also need to make sure that the channel name, user ID and token passed in for preloading are the same as the values passed in when joinning the channel, otherwise, this method does not take effect.
- One IRtcEngine instance supports preloading 20 channels at most. When exceeding this limit, the latest 20 preloaded channels take effect.
Parameters
- token
- The token generated on your server for authentication. See .When the token for preloading channels expires, you can update the token based on the number of channels you preload.
- When preloading one channel, calling this method to pass in the new token.
- When preloading more than one channels:
- If you use a wildcard token for all preloaded channels, call UpdatePreloadChannelToken to update the token.Note: When generating a wildcard token, ensure the user ID is not set as 0. See Secure authentication with tokens.
- If you use different tokens to preload different channels, call this method to pass in your user ID, channel name and the new token.
- If you use a wildcard token for all preloaded channels, call UpdatePreloadChannelToken to update the token.
- channelId
- The channel name that you want to preload. This parameter signifies the channel in which users engage in real-time audio and video interaction. Under the premise of the same App ID, users who fill in the same channel ID enter the same channel for audio and video interaction. The string length must be less than 64 bytes. Supported characters (89 characters in total):
- All lowercase English letters: a to z.
- All uppercase English letters: A to Z.

Details
When users' network access is restricted by a firewall, configure the firewall to allow specific IP addresses and ports provided by Agora; then, call this method to enable the cloud proxyType and set the cloud proxy type with the proxyType parameter.
After successfully connecting to the cloud proxy, the SDK triggers the OnConnectionStateChanged (CONNECTION_STATE_CONNECTING, CONNECTION_CHANGED_SETTING_PROXY_SERVER) callback.
To disable the cloud proxy that has been set, call the SetCloudProxy(NONE_PROXY)
.
To change the cloud proxy type that has been set, call the SetCloudProxy(NONE_PROXY)
first, and then call the SetCloudProxy to set the proxyType you want.
- Agora recommends that you call this method before joining a channel.
- When a user is behind a firewall and uses the Force UDP cloud proxy, the services for Media Push and cohosting across channels are not available.
- When you use the Force TCP cloud proxy, note that an error would occur when calling the StartAudioMixing [2/2] method to play online music files in the HTTP protocol. The services for Media Push and cohosting across channels use the cloud proxy with the TCP protocol.
Parameters
- proxyType
-
The type of the cloud proxy. See CLOUD_PROXY_TYPE.
This parameter is mandatory. The SDK reports an error if you do not pass in a value.
Returns
- 0: Success.

SetLoopbackDevice
Sets the loopback device.
public abstract int SetLoopbackDevice(string deviceId);
Details
The SDK uses the current playback device as the loopback device by default. If you want to specify another audio device as the loopback device, call this method, and set deviceId to the loopback device you want to specify.
You can call this method to change the audio route currently being used, but this does not change the default audio route. For example, if the default audio route is microphone, you call this method to set the audio route as a sound card before joinging a channel and then start a device test, the SDK conducts device test on the sound card. After the device test is completed and you join a channel, the SDK still uses the microphone for audio capturing.
This method is for Windows and macOS only.
The scenarios where this method is applicable are as follows:
- If the loopback device is set as the Bluetooth headset, the SDK publishes the music in app A to the remote end.
- If the loopback device is set as the speaker, the SDK does not publish the music in app A to the remote end.
- If you set the loopback device as the Bluetooth headset, and then use a wired headset to play the music in app A, you need to call this method again, set the loopback device as the wired headset, and the SDK continues to publish the music in app A to remote end.
Parameters

SetRemoteDefaultVideoStreamType
Sets the default video stream type to subscribe to.
public abstract int SetRemoteDefaultVideoStreamType(VIDEO_STREAM_TYPE streamType);
- The SDK enables low-quality video stream adaptive mode (AUTO_SIMULCAST_STREAM) on the sender side by default, meaning only the high-quality video stream is transmitted. Only the receiver with the role of the host can call this method to initiate a low-quality video stream request. Once the sender receives the request, it starts automatically sending the low-quality video stream. At this point, all users in the channel can call this method to switch to low-quality video stream subscription mode.
- If the sender calls SetDualStreamMode [2/2] and sets mode to DISABLE_SIMULCAST_STREAM (never send low-quality video stream), then calling this method will have no effect.
- If the sender calls SetDualStreamMode [2/2] and sets mode to ENABLE_SIMULCAST_STREAM (always send low-quality video stream), both the host and audience receivers can call this method to switch to low-quality video stream subscription mode.
The SDK will dynamically adjust the size of the corresponding video stream based on the size of the video window to save bandwidth and computing resources. The default aspect ratio of the low-quality video stream is the same as that of the high-quality video stream. According to the current aspect ratio of the high-quality video stream, the system will automatically allocate the resolution, frame rate, and bitrate of the low-quality video stream.
Call timing
Call this method before joining a channel. The SDK does not support changing the default subscribed video stream type after joining a channel.
Restrictions
If you call both this method and SetRemoteVideoStreamType, the setting of SetRemoteVideoStreamType takes effect.
Parameters
- streamType
-
The default video-stream type. See VIDEO_STREAM_TYPE.
Returns
- 0: Success.
- < 0: Failure.
SetRemoteUserSpatialAudioParams

SetRemoteSubscribeFallbackOption
Sets the fallback option for the subscribed video stream based on the network conditions.
public abstract int SetRemoteSubscribeFallbackOption(STREAM_FALLBACK_OPTIONS option);
Details
An unstable network affects the audio and video quality in a video call or interactive live video streaming. If option is set as STREAM_FALLBACK_OPTION_VIDEO_STREAM_LOW or STREAM_FALLBACK_OPTION_AUDIO_ONLY, the SDK automatically switches the video from a high-quality stream to a low-quality stream or disables the video when the downlink network conditions cannot support both audio and video to guarantee the quality of the audio. Meanwhile, the SDK continuously monitors network quality and resumes subscribing to audio and video streams when the network quality improves.
When the subscribed video stream falls back to an audio-only stream, or recovers from an audio-only stream to an audio-video stream, the SDK triggers the OnRemoteSubscribeFallbackToAudioOnly callback.

SetupLocalVideo
Initializes the local video view.
public abstract int SetupLocalVideo(VideoCanvas canvas);
This method initializes the video view of a local stream on the local device. It only affects the video seen by the local user and does not impact the publishing of the local video. Call this method to bind the local video stream to a video view (view) and to set the rendering and mirror modes of the video view.
The binding remains valid after leaving the channel. To stop rendering or unbind the local video from the view, set view as NULL.
- If you need to implement native window rendering, use this method; if you only need to render video images in your Unity project, use the methods in the VideoSurface class instead.
- To update only the rendering or mirror mode of the local video view during a call, call SetLocalRenderMode [2/2] instead.
Applicable scenarios
After initialization, call this method to set the local video and then join the channel.
In real-time interactive scenarios, if you need to simultaneously view multiple preview frames in the local video preview, and each frame is at a different observation position along the video link, you can repeatedly call this method to set different views and set different observation positions for each view. For example, by setting the video source to the camera and then configuring two views with position setting to POSITION_POST_CAPTURER_ORIGIN and POSITION_POST_CAPTURER, you can simultaneously preview the raw, unprocessed video frame and the video frame that has undergone preprocessing (image enhancement effects, virtual background, watermark) in the local video preview.
Call timing
You can call this method either before or after joining a channel.
Restrictions
None.
Parameters
- canvas
- The local video view and settings. See VideoCanvas.
Returns
- 0: Success.
- < 0: Failure.
SetupRemoteVideo
Initializes the video view of a remote user.
public abstract int SetupRemoteVideo(VideoCanvas canvas);
Details
This method initializes the video view of a remote stream on the local device. It affects only the video view that the local user sees. Call this method to bind the remote video stream to a video view and to set the rendering and mirror modes of the video view.
You need to specify the ID of the remote user in this method. If the remote user ID is unknown to the application, set it after the app receives the OnUserJoined callback.
To unbind the remote user from the view, set the view parameter to NULL.
Once the remote user leaves the channel, the SDK unbinds the remote user.
In the scenarios of custom layout for mixed videos on the mobile end, you can call this method and set a separate view for rendering each sub-video stream of the mixed video stream.
- If you need to implement native window rendering, use this method; if you only need to render video images in your Unity project, use the methods in the VideoSurface class instead.
- To update the rendering or mirror mode of the remote video view during a call, use the SetRemoteRenderMode method.
- When using the recording service, the app does not need to bind a view, as it does not send a video stream. If your app does not recognize the recording service, bind the remote user to the view when the SDK triggers the OnFirstRemoteVideoDecoded callback.
Parameters
- canvas
-
The remote video view and settings. See VideoCanvas.
Returns
- 0: Success.
- < 0: Failure.
SetVideoDenoiserOptions
Sets video noise reduction.
public abstract int SetVideoDenoiserOptions(bool enabled, VideoDenoiserOptions options, MEDIA_SOURCE_TYPE type = MEDIA_SOURCE_TYPE.PRIMARY_CAMERA_SOURCE);
Details
Underlit environments and low-end video capture devices can cause video images to contain significant noise, which affects video quality. In real-time interactive scenarios, video noise also consumes bitstream resources and reduces encoding efficiency during encoding.
You can call this method to enable the video noise reduction feature and set the options of the video noise reduction effect.
- Call this method after calling EnableVideo.
- Video noise reduction has certain requirements for equipment performance. If your device overheats after you enable video noise reduction, Agora recommends modifying the video noise reduction options to a less performance-consuming level or disabling video noise reduction entirely.
- Both this method and SetExtensionProperty can turn on video noise reduction function:
- When you use the SDK to capture video, Agora recommends this method (this method only works for video captured by the SDK).
- When you use an external video source to implement custom video capture, or send an external video source to the SDK, Agora recommends using SetExtensionProperty.
- This method relies on the image enhancement dynamic library
libagora_clear_vision_extension.dll
. If the dynamic library is deleted, the function cannot be enabled normally.
Parameters
- enabled
- Whether to enable video noise reduction:
true
: Enable video noise reduction.false
: (Default) Disable video noise reduction.
- options
- The video noise reduction options. See VideoDenoiserOptions.
- type
- The type of the video source. See MEDIA_SOURCE_TYPE.
Returns
- 0: Success.
- < 0: Failure.
SetVideoEncoderConfiguration
Sets the video encoder configuration.
public abstract int SetVideoEncoderConfiguration(VideoEncoderConfiguration config);
Sets the encoder configuration for the local video. Each configuration profile corresponds to a set of video parameters, including the resolution, frame rate, and bitrate.
Call timing
You can call this method either before or after joining a channel. If the user does not need to reset the video encoding properties after joining the channel, Agora recommends calling this method before EnableVideo to reduce the time to render the first video frame.
Restrictions
- The config specified in this method is the maximum value under ideal network conditions. If the video engine cannot render the video using the specified config due to unreliable network conditions, the parameters further down the list are considered until a successful configuration is found.
Parameters
- config
- Video profile. See VideoEncoderConfiguration.
Returns
- 0: Success.
- < 0: Failure.
SetVideoScenario
Sets video application scenarios.
public abstract int SetVideoScenario(VIDEO_APPLICATION_SCENARIO_TYPE scenarioType);
Details
After successfully calling this method, the SDK will automatically enable the best practice strategies and adjust key performance metrics based on the specified scenario, to optimize the video experience.
Parameters
- scenarioType
- The type of video application scenario. See VIDEO_APPLICATION_SCENARIO_TYPE.APPLICATION_SCENARIO_MEETING (1) is suitable for meeting scenarios. The SDK automatically enables the following strategies:
- In meeting scenarios where low-quality video streams are required to have a high bitrate, the SDK automatically enables multiple technologies used to deal with network congestions, to enhance the performance of the low-quality streams and to ensure the smooth reception by subscribers.
- The SDK monitors the number of subscribers to the high-quality video stream in real time and dynamically adjusts its configuration based on the number of subscribers.
- If nobody subscribers to the high-quality stream, the SDK automatically reduces its bitrate and frame rate to save upstream bandwidth.
- If someone subscribes to the high-quality stream, the SDK resets the high-quality stream to the VideoEncoderConfiguration configuration used in the most recent calling of SetVideoEncoderConfiguration. If no configuration has been set by the user previously, the following values are used:
- Resolution: (Windows and macOS) 1280 × 720; (Android and iOS) 960 × 540
- Frame rate: 15 fps
- Bitrate: (Windows and macOS) 1600 Kbps; (Android and iOS) 1000 Kbps
- The SDK monitors the number of subscribers to the low-quality video stream in real time and dynamically enables or disables it based on the number of subscribers.Note: If the user has called SetDualStreamMode [2/2] to set that never send low-quality video stream (DISABLE_SIMULCAST_STREAM), the dynamic adjustment of the low-quality stream in meeting scenarios will not take effect.
- If nobody subscribes to the low-quality stream, the SDK automatically disables it to save upstream bandwidth.
- If someone subscribes to the low-quality stream, the SDK enables the low-quality stream and resets it to the SimulcastStreamConfig configuration used in the most recent calling of SetDualStreamMode [2/2]. If no configuration has been set by the user previously, the following values are used:
- Resolution: 480 × 272
- Frame rate: 15 fps
- Bitrate: 500 Kbps
APPLICATION_SCENARIO_1V1 (2) is suitable for 1v1 video call scenarios. To meet the requirements for low latency and high-quality video in this scenario, the SDK optimizes its strategies, improving performance in terms of video quality, first frame rendering, latency on mid-to-low-end devices, and smoothness under weak network conditions.
Returns
- 0: Success.
- < 0: Failure.
- -1: A general error occurs (no specified reason).
- -4: Video application scenarios are not supported. Possible reasons include that you use the Voice SDK instead of the Video SDK.
- -7: The IRtcEngine object has not been initialized. You need to initialize the IRtcEngine object before calling this method.
