RtcEngineEx

addVideoWatermarkEx

Adds a watermark image to the local video.

public abstract int addVideoWatermarkEx(
      String watermarkUrl, WatermarkOptions options, RtcConnection connection);

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.

The watermark coordinates are dependent on the settings in the setVideoEncoderConfigurationEx method:

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 setVideoEncoderConfigurationEx method; otherwise, the watermark image will be cropped.

Attention:

Ensure that you have called enableVideo before calling this 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 local video preview by calling the startPreview [2/2] method, you can use the visibleInPreview member to set whether or not the watermark is visible in the preview.
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.
connection: The connection information. See RtcConnection.

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.

createDataStreamEx [2/2]

Creates a data stream.

public abstract int createDataStreamEx(DataStreamConfig config, RtcConnection connection);

Compared to createDataStreamEx [1/2], this method does not guarantee the reliability of data transmission. If a data packet is not received five seconds after it was sent, the SDK directly discards the data.

Call timing

Call this method after joinChannelEx.

Restrictions

Each user can create up to five data streams during the lifecycle of RtcEngine. The data stream will be destroyed when leaving the channel, and the data stream needs to be recreated if needed.

Parameters

config: The configurations for the data stream. See DataStreamConfig.
connection: The connection information. See RtcConnection.

Returns

ID of the created data stream, if the method call succeeds.
< 0: Failure.

enableAudioVolumeIndicationEx

Enables the reporting of users' volume indication.

public abstract int enableAudioVolumeIndicationEx(
      int interval, int smooth, boolean reportVad, RtcConnection connection);

This method enables the SDK to regularly report the volume information to the app of the local user who sends a stream and remote users (three users at most) whose instantaneous volumes are the highest.

Call timing

Call this method after joinChannelEx.

Restrictions

None.

Related callbacks

The SDK triggers the onAudioVolumeIndication callback according to the interval you set if this method is successfully called and there are users publishing streams in the channel.

Parameters

interval

Sets the time interval between two consecutive volume indications:

≤ 0: Disables the volume indication.
> 0: Time interval (ms) between two consecutive volume indications. Ensure this parameter is set to a value greater than 10, otherwise you will not receive the onAudioVolumeIndication callback. Agora recommends that this value is set as greater than 100.

smooth

The smoothing factor that sets the sensitivity of the audio volume indicator. The value ranges between 0 and 10. The recommended value is 3. The greater the value, the more sensitive the indicator.

reportVad

true: Enables the voice activity detection of the local user. Once it is enabled, the vad parameter of the onAudioVolumeIndication callback reports the voice activity status of the local user.
false: (Default) Disables the voice activity detection of the local user. Once it is disabled, the vad parameter of the onAudioVolumeIndication callback does not report the voice activity status of the local user, except for the scenario where the engine automatically detects the voice activity of the local user.

connection

joinChannelEx

Joins a channel.

public abstract int joinChannelEx(String token, RtcConnection connection,
      ChannelMediaOptions options, IRtcEngineEventHandler eventHandler);

You can call this method multiple times to join more than one channel. If you want to join the same channel from different devices, ensure that the user IDs are different for all devices.

Applicable scenarios

This method can be called in scenarios involving multiple channels.

Call timing

Call this method after create [2/2].

In a multi-camera capture scenario, you need to call the startPreview [2/2] method after calling this method to set the sourceType to VIDEO_SOURCE_CAMERA_SECONDARY, to ensure that the second camera captures normally.

Restrictions

If you are already in a channel, you cannot rejoin the channel with the same user ID.

Before joining a channel, ensure that the App ID you use to generate a token is the same as that you pass in the create [2/2] method; otherwise, you may fail to join the channel with the token.

Related callbacks

A successful call of this method triggers the following callbacks:

The local client: The onJoinChannelSuccess and onConnectionStateChanged callbacks.
The remote client: The onUserJoined callback, if a user joining the channel in the COMMUNICATION profile, or a host joining a channel in the LIVE_BROADCASTING profile.

When the connection between the local client and Agora's server is interrupted due to poor network conditions, the SDK tries reconnecting to the server. When the local client successfully rejoins the channel, the SDK triggers the onRejoinChannelSuccess callback on the local client.

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.

connection

The connection information. See RtcConnection.

options

The channel media options. See ChannelMediaOptions.

eventHandler

The callback class of RtcEngineEx. See IRtcEngineEventHandler. You can get the callback events of multiple channels through the eventHandler object passed in this parameter.

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 RtcEngine object. You need to reinitialize the RtcEngine object.
- -7: The RtcEngine object has not been initialized. You need to initialize the RtcEngine object before calling this method.
- -8: The internal state of the RtcEngine 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.

joinChannelWithUserAccountEx

Join a channel using a user account and token, and set the media options.

public abstract int joinChannelWithUserAccountEx(String token, String channelId,
    String userAccount, ChannelMediaOptions options, IRtcEngineEventHandler eventHandler);

Before calling this method, if you have not called registerLocalUserAccount to register a user account, when you call this method to join a channel, the SDK automatically creates a user account for you. Calling the registerLocalUserAccount method to register a user account, and then calling this method to join a channel can shorten the time it takes to enter the channel.

Once a user joins the channel, the user subscribes to the audio and video streams of all the other users in the channel by default, giving rise to usage and billings. If you want to stop subscribing to the media stream of other users, you can set the options parameter or call the corresponding mute method.

Attention: To ensure smooth communication, use the same parameter type to identify the user. For example, if a user joins the channel with a UID, then ensure all the other users use the UID too. The same applies to the user account. If a user joins the channel with the Agora Web SDK, ensure that the ID of the user is set to the same parameter type.

Call timing

Call this method after create [2/2].

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 create [2/2] method; otherwise, you may fail to join the channel with the token.

Related callbacks

After the user successfully joins the channel, the SDK triggers the following callbacks:

The local client: onLocalUserRegistered, onJoinChannelSuccess and onConnectionStateChanged callbacks.
The remote client: The onUserJoined and onUserInfoUpdated callbacks if a user joins the channel in the COMMUNICATION profile, or if a host joins the channel in the LIVE_BROADCASTING profile.

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.
"!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", "{", "}", "|", "~", ","

userAccount

The user account. This parameter is used to identify the user in the channel for real-time audio and video engagement. You need to set and manage user accounts yourself and ensure that each user account in the same channel is unique. The maximum length of this parameter is 255 bytes. Ensure that you set this parameter and do not set it as NULL. Supported characters are as follows(89 in total):

The 26 lowercase English letters: a to z.
The 26 uppercase English letters: A to Z.
All numeric characters: 0 to 9.

The SDK defaults to enabling low-quality video stream adaptive mode (AUTO_SIMULCAST_STREAM) on the sender side, which means the sender does not actively send low-quality video stream. The receiving end with the role of the host can initiate a low-quality video stream request by calling setRemoteVideoStreamTypeEx [1/2], and upon receiving the request, the sending end automatically starts sending low-quality stream.

If you want to modify this behavior, you can call this method and set mode to DISABLE_SIMULCAST_STREAM (never send low-quality video streams) or ENABLE_SIMULCAST_STREAM (always send low-quality video streams).
If you want to restore the default behavior after making changes, you can call this method again with mode set to AUTO_SIMULCAST_STREAM.

Note: The difference and connection between this method and enableDualStreamModeEx is as follows:

When calling this method and setting mode to DISABLE_SIMULCAST_STREAM, it has the same effect as enableDualStreamModeEx(false).
When calling this method and setting mode to ENABLE_SIMULCAST_STREAM, it has the same effect as enableDualStreamModeEx(true).
Both methods can be called before and after joining a channel. If both methods are used, the settings in the method called later takes precedence.

Parameters

mode: The mode in which the video stream is sent. See SIMULCAST_STREAM_MODE.
streamConfig: The configuration of the low-quality video stream. See SimulcastStreamConfig.
Note: When setting mode to DISABLE_SIMULCAST_STREAM, setting streamConfig will not take effect.
connection: The connection information. See RtcConnection.

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.

setRemoteRenderModeEx

Sets the video display mode of a specified remote user.

public abstract int setRemoteRenderModeEx(
      int uid, int renderMode, int mirrorMode, RtcConnection connection);

Details

After initializing the video view of a remote user, you can call this method to update its rendering and mirror modes. This method affects only the video view that the local user sees.

Attention:

Call this method after initializing the remote view by calling the setupRemoteVideo method.
During a call, you can call this method as many times as necessary to update the display mode of the video view of a remote user.

Parameters

uid

The user ID of the remote user.

renderMode

The video display mode of the remote user:

RENDER_MODE_HIDDEN(1): Hidden mode. Uniformly scale the video until it fills the visible boundaries (cropped). One dimension of the video may have clipped contents.
RENDER_MODE_FIT(2): Fit mode. Uniformly scale the video until one of its dimension fits the boundary (zoomed to fit). Areas that are not filled due to the disparity in the aspect ratio are filled with black.
RENDER_MODE_ADAPTIVE(3): Adaptive mode.

Deprecated:

This enumerator is deprecated and not recommended for use.

mirrorMode

The mirror mode of the remote user view:

VIDEO_MIRROR_MODE_AUTO(0): The SDK determines whether to enable the mirror mode. If you use a front camera, the SDK enables the mirror mode by default; if you use a rear camera, the SDK disables the mirror mode by default.
VIDEO_MIRROR_MODE_ENABLED(1): Enable the mirroring mode of the local view.
VIDEO_MIRROR_MODE_DISABLED(2): Disable the mirroring mode of the local view.

Returns

< 0: Failure.

setRemoteVideoStreamTypeEx [1/2]

Sets the video stream type to subscribe to.

public abstract int setRemoteVideoStreamTypeEx(int uid, int streamType, RtcConnection connection);

Details

Deprecated:: This method is deprecated as of v4.4.0. Use setRemoteVideoStreamTypeEx [2/2] instead.

Depending on the default behavior of the sender and the specific settings when calling setDualStreamMode [2/2], the scenarios for the receiver calling this method are as follows:

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.

Attention:

If the publisher has already called setDualStreamModeEx and set mode to DISABLE_SIMULCAST_STREAM (never send low-quality video stream), calling this method will not take effect, you should call setDualStreamModeEx again on the sending end and adjust the settings.
Calling this method on the receiving end of the audience role will not take effect.

Parameters

uid

The user ID.

streamType

The video stream type:

0: High-quality video stream.
1: Low-quality video stream.

connection

The connection information. See RtcConnection.

Returns

0: Success.

startOrUpdateChannelMediaRelayEx

Starts relaying media streams across channels or updates channels for media relay.

public abstract int startOrUpdateChannelMediaRelayEx(
      ChannelMediaRelayConfiguration channelMediaRelayConfiguration, RtcConnection connection);

Details

Since: v4.2.0

The first successful call to this method starts relaying media streams from the source channel to the destination channels. To relay the media stream to other channels, or exit one of the current media relays, you can call this method again to update the destination channels. This feature supports relaying media streams to a maximum of six destination channels.

After a successful method call, the SDK triggers the onChannelMediaRelayStateChanged callback, and this callback returns the state of the media stream relay. Common states are as follows:

If the onChannelMediaRelayStateChanged callback returns RELAY_STATE_RUNNING (2) and RELAY_OK (0), it means that the SDK starts relaying media streams from the source channel to the destination channel.
If the onChannelMediaRelayStateChanged callback returns RELAY_STATE_FAILURE (3), an exception occurs during the media stream relay.

Attention:

Call this method after joining the channel.
This method takes effect only when you are a host in a live streaming channel.
The relaying media streams across channels function needs to be enabled by contacting technical support.
Agora does not support string user accounts in this API.

Parameters

channelMediaRelayConfiguration: The configuration of the media stream relay. See ChannelMediaRelayConfiguration.
connection: The connection information. See RtcConnection.

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.
- -1: A general error occurs (no specified reason).
- -2: The parameter is invalid.
- -8: Internal state error. Probably because the user is not a broadcaster.

setupRemoteVideoEx

Initializes the video view of a remote user.

public abstract int setupRemoteVideoEx(VideoCanvas remote, RtcConnection connection);

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.

The application specifies the uid of the remote video in the VideoCanvas method before the remote user joins the channel.

If the remote uid is unknown to the application, set it after the application receives the onUserJoined callback. If the Video Recording function is enabled, the Video Recording Service joins the channel as a dummy client, causing other clients to also receive the onUserJoined callback. Do not bind the dummy client to the application view because the dummy client does not send any video streams.

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.

Attention:

To update the rendering or mirror mode of the remote video view during a call, use the setRemoteRenderModeEx method.

Parameters

remote: The remote video view settings. See VideoCanvas.
connection: The connection information. See RtcConnection.

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.

setVideoEncoderConfigurationEx

Sets the video encoder configuration.

public abstract int setVideoEncoderConfigurationEx(
      VideoEncoderConfiguration config, RtcConnection connection);

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

Call this method after joinChannelEx.

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.
connection: The connection information. See RtcConnection.

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.

startMediaRenderingTracingEx

Enables tracing the video frame rendering process.

public abstract int startMediaRenderingTracingEx(RtcConnection connection);

Details

Since: v4.1.1

The SDK starts tracing the rendering status of the video frames in the channel from the moment this method is successfully called and reports information about the event through the onVideoRenderingTracingResult callback.

Note:

By default, the SDK starts tracing the video rendering event automatically when the local user successfully joins the channel. You can call this method at an appropriate time according to the actual application scenario to customize the tracing process.
After the local user leaves the current channel, the SDK automatically resets the time point to the next time when the user successfully joins the channel.

Applicable scenarios

Agora recommends that you use this method in conjunction with the UI settings (such as buttons and sliders) in your app to improve the user experience. For example, call this method when the user clicks the Join Channel button, and then get the indicators in the video frame rendering process through the onVideoRenderingTracingResult callback, so as to optimize the indicators accordingly.

Parameters

connection: The connection information. See RtcConnection.

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.

startRtmpStreamWithoutTranscodingEx

Starts pushing media streams to a CDN without transcoding.

public abstract int startRtmpStreamWithoutTranscodingEx(String url, RtcConnection connection);

Details

Since: v4.1.0

Agora recommends that you use the server-side Media Push function. For details, see Use RESTful API.

You can call this method to push an audio or video stream to the specified CDN address. This method can push media streams to only one CDN address at a time, so if you need to push streams to multiple addresses, call this method multiple times.

After you call this method, the SDK triggers the onRtmpStreamingStateChanged callback on the local client to report the state of the streaming.

Attention:

Call this method after joining a channel.
Only hosts in the LIVE_BROADCASTING profile can call this method.
If you want to retry pushing streams after a failed push, make sure to call stopRtmpStream first, then call this method to retry pushing streams; otherwise, the SDK returns the same error code as the last failed push.

Parameters

url: The address of Media Push. The format is RTMP or RTMPS. The character length cannot exceed 1024 bytes. Special characters such as Chinese characters are not supported.
connection: The connection information. See RtcConnection.

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.
- -2: The URL or configuration of transcoding is invalid; check your URL and transcoding configurations.

stopChannelMediaRelayEx

Stops the media stream relay. Once the relay stops, the host quits all the target channels.

public abstract int stopChannelMediaRelayEx(RtcConnection connection);

Details

After a successful method call, the SDK triggers the onChannelMediaRelayStateChanged callback. If the callback reports RELAY_STATE_IDLE (0) and RELAY_OK (0), the host successfully stops the relay.

Attention: If the method call fails, the SDK triggers the onChannelMediaRelayStateChanged callback with the RELAY_ERROR_SERVER_NO_RESPONSE (2) or RELAY_ERROR_SERVER_CONNECTION_LOST (8) status code. You can call the leaveChannel [2/2] method to leave the channel, and the media stream relay automatically stops.

Parameters

connection: The connection information. See RtcConnection.

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.
- -5: The method call was rejected. There is no ongoing channel media relay.

stopRtmpStreamEx

Call timing

Call this method after joinChannelEx.

Restrictions

The method is asynchronous, and the SDK has not taken the snapshot when the method call returns.
When used for local video snapshots, this method takes a snapshot for the video streams specified in ChannelMediaOptions.
If the user's video has been preprocessed, for example, watermarked or beautified, the resulting snapshot includes the pre-processing effect.

Related callbacks

After a successful call of this method, the SDK triggers the onSnapshotTaken callback to report whether the snapshot is successfully taken, as well as the details for that snapshot.

Parameters

connection

The connection information. See RtcConnection.

uid

The user ID. Set uid as 0 if you want to take a snapshot of the local user's video.
