Detailed Description

IRtcEngine is the base interface class of the Agora SDK that provides the main Agora SDK methods invoked by your application. Enable the Agora SDK's communication functionality through the creation of an IRtcEngine object, then call the methods of this object.

Member Function Documentation

◆ initialize()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::initialize ( const RtcEngineContext context)
pure virtual

Initializes the Agora service.

Unless otherwise specified, all the methods provided by the IRtcEngine class are executed asynchronously. Agora recommends calling these methods in the same thread.

Note
Ensure that you call the createAgoraRtcEngine and initialize methods before calling any other APIs.
Parameters
contextPointer to the RTC engine context. See RtcEngineContext.
Returns
  • 0(ERR_OK): Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -1(ERR_FAILED): A general error occurs (no specified reason).
    • -2(ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT): No IRtcEngineEventHandler object is specified.
    • -7(ERR_NOT_INITIALIZED): The SDK is not initialized. Check whether context is properly set.
    • -22(ERR_RESOURCE_LIMITED): The resource is limited. The app uses too much of the system resource and fails to allocate any resources.
    • -101(ERR_INVALID_APP_ID): The App ID is invalid.

◆ release()

static AGORA_CPP_API void agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::release ( bool  sync = false)
static

Releases all IRtcEngine resources.

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. Once you call release to destroy the created IRtcEngine instance, you cannot use any method or callback in the SDK any more. If you want to use the real-time communication functions again, you must call createAgoraRtcEngine and initialize to create a new IRtcEngine instance.

Note
If you want to create a new IRtcEngine instance after destroying the current one, ensure that you wait till the release method completes executing.
Parameters
sync
  • true: Synchronous call. Agora suggests calling this method in a sub-thread to avoid congestion in the main thread because the synchronous call and the app cannot move on to another task until the execution completes. Besides, you cannot call this method in any method or callback of the SDK. Otherwise, the SDK cannot release the resources occupied by the IRtcEngine instance until the callbacks return results, which may result in a deadlock. The SDK automatically detects the deadlock and converts this method into an asynchronous call, causing the test to take additional time.
  • false: Asynchronous call. Do not immediately uninstall the SDK's dynamic library after the call, or it may cause a crash due to the SDK clean-up thread not quitting.

◆ setChannelProfile()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setChannelProfile ( CHANNEL_PROFILE_TYPE  profile)
pure virtual

Sets the channel profile of the Agora IRtcEngine.

After initialization, the SDK uses the CHANNEL_PROFILE_COMMUNICATION channel profile by default. You can call this method to set the channel profile. The Agora IRtcEngine differentiates channel profiles and applies optimization algorithms accordingly. For example, it prioritizes smoothness and low latency for a video call, and prioritizes video quality for the interactive live video streaming.

Warning
  • To ensure the quality of real-time communication, we recommend that all users in a channel use the same channel profile.
  • Call this method before calling joinChannel . You cannot set the channel profile once you have joined the channel.
  • The default audio route and video encoding bitrate are different in different channel profiles. For details, see setDefaultAudioRouteToSpeakerphone and setVideoEncoderConfiguration.
Parameters
profileThe channel profile of the Agora IRtcEngine. See CHANNEL_PROFILE_TYPE
Returns
  • 0(ERR_OK): Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -2 (ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT): The parameter is invalid.
    • -7(ERR_NOT_INITIALIZED): The SDK is not initialized.

◆ setClientRole() [1/2]

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setClientRole ( CLIENT_ROLE_TYPE  role)
pure virtual

Sets the role of the user in interactive live streaming.

After calling setChannelProfile (CHANNEL_PROFILE_LIVE_BROADCASTING), the SDK sets the user role as audience by default. You can call setClientRole to set the user role as host.

You can call this method either before or after joining a channel. If you call this method to switch the user role after joining a channel, the SDK automatically does the following:

Note
This method applies to the LIVE_BROADCASTING profile only.
Parameters
roleThe role of a user in interactive live streaming. See CLIENT_ROLE_TYPE.
Returns
  • 0(ERR_OK): Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -1(ERR_FAILED): A general error occurs (no specified reason).
    • -2(ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT): The parameter is invalid.
    • -5 (ERR_REFUSED): The request is rejected. In multichannel scenarios, if you have set any of the following in one channel, the SDK returns this error code when the user switches the user role to host in another channel:
      • Call joinChannel with the options parameter and use the default settings publishLocalAudio = true or publishLocalVideo = true.
      • Call setClientRole to set the user role as host.
      • Call muteLocalAudioStream(false) or muteLocalVideoStream(false).
    • -7(ERR_NOT_INITIALIZED): The SDK is not initialized.

◆ setClientRole() [2/2]

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setClientRole ( CLIENT_ROLE_TYPE  role,
const ClientRoleOptions options 
)
pure virtual

Sets the role of the user in interactive live streaming.

Since
v3.2.0

In the LIVE_BROADCASTING channel profile, the SDK sets the user role as audience by default. You can call setClientRole to set the user role as host.

You can call this method either before or after joining a channel. If you call this method to switch the user role after joining a channel, the SDK automatically does the following:

Note
  • This method applies to the LIVE_BROADCASTING profile only.
  • The difference between this method and setClientRole [1/2] is that this method can set the user level in addition to the user role.
    • The user role determines the permissions that the SDK grants to a user, such as permission to send local streams, receive remote streams, and push streams to a CDN address.
    • 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 member can choose to receive remote streams with low latency or ultra low latency. User level affects the pricing of services.
Parameters
roleThe role of a user in interactive live streaming. See CLIENT_ROLE_TYPE.
optionsThe detailed options of a user, including user level. See ClientRoleOptions.
Returns
  • 0(ERR_OK): Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -1(ERR_FAILED): A general error occurs (no specified reason).
    • -2(ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT): The parameter is invalid.
    • -5 (ERR_REFUSED): The request is rejected. In multichannel scenarios, if you have set any of the following in one channel, the SDK returns this error code when the user switches the user role to host in another channel:
      • Call joinChannel with the options parameter and use the default settings publishLocalAudio = true or publishLocalVideo = true.
      • Call setClientRole to set the user role as host.
      • Call muteLocalAudioStream(false) or muteLocalVideoStream(false).
    • -7(ERR_NOT_INITIALIZED): The SDK is not initialized.

◆ joinChannel() [1/2]

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::joinChannel ( const char *  token,
const char *  channelId,
const char *  info,
uid_t  uid 
)
pure virtual

Joins a channel with the user ID.

Users in the same channel can talk to each other, and multiple users in the same channel can start a group chat. Users with different App IDs cannot call each other.

You must call the leaveChannel method to exit the current call before entering another channel.

A successful joinChannel method call triggers the following callbacks:

  • The local client: onJoinChannelSuccess.
  • The remote client: onUserJoined , if the user joining the channel is in the COMMUNICATION profile, or is a host in the LIVE_BROADCASTING profile.

When the connection between the 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.

Once the user joins the channel (switches to another 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 billing calculation. If you do not want to subscribe to a specified stream or all remote streams, call the mute methods accordingly.

Note
A channel does not accept duplicate uids, such as two users with the same uid. If you set uid as 0, the system automatically assigns a uid. If you want to join a channel from different devices, ensure that each device has a different uid.
Warning
Ensure that the App ID used for creating the token is the same App ID used by the initialize method for initializing the RTC engine. Otherwise, the CDN live streaming may fail.
Parameters
tokenThe token generated at your server. See Authenticate Your Users with Tokens.
channelIdPointer to the unique channel name for the Agora RTC session in the string format smaller than 64 bytes. Supported characters:
  • 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: "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", " {", "}", "|", "~", ",".
info(Optional) Pointer to additional information about the channel. This parameter can be set to NULL or contain channel related information. Other users in the channel will not receive this message.
uid(Optional) User ID. A 32-bit unsigned integer with a value ranging from 1 to 232-1. The uid must be unique. If a uid is not assigned (or set to 0), the SDK assigns and returns a uid in the onJoinChannelSuccess callback. Your application must record and maintain the returned uid, because the SDK does not do so.
Returns
  • 0(ERR_OK): Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -2(ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT): The parameter is invalid.
    • -3(ERR_NOT_READY): The SDK fails to be initialized. You can try re-initializing the SDK.
    • -5(ERR_REFUSED): The request is rejected. This may be caused by the following:
      • You have created an IChannel object with the same channel name.
      • You have joined and published a stream in a channel created by the IChannel object. When you join a channel created by the IRtcEngine object, the SDK publishes the local audio and video streams to that channel by default. Because the SDK does not support publishing a local stream to more than one channel simultaneously, an error occurs in this occasion.
    • -7(ERR_NOT_INITIALIZED): The SDK is not initialized before calling this method.
    • -17(ERR_JOIN_CHANNEL_REJECTED): The request to join the channel is rejected. The SDK supports joining only one IRtcEngine channel at a time. Therefore, the SDK returns this error code when a user who has already joined an IRtcEngine channel calls the joining channel method of the IRtcEngine class with a valid channel name.

◆ joinChannel() [2/2]

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::joinChannel ( const char *  token,
const char *  channelId,
const char *  info,
uid_t  uid,
const ChannelMediaOptions options 
)
pure virtual

Joins a channel with the user ID, and configures whether to publish or automatically subscribe to the audio or video streams.

Since
v3.3.0

Users in the same channel can talk to each other, and multiple users in the same channel can start a group chat. Users with different App IDs cannot call each other.

You must call the leaveChannel method to exit the current call before entering another channel.

A successful joinChannel method call triggers the following callbacks:

  • The local client: onJoinChannelSuccess.
  • The remote client: onUserJoined, if the user joining the channel is in the COMMUNICATION profile, or is a host in the LIVE_BROADCASTING profile.

When the connection between the client and the Agora 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.

Note
  • Compared with joinChannel [1/2], this method has the options parameter, which configures whether the user publishes or automatically subscribes to the audio and video streams in the channel when joining the channel. By default, the user publishes the local audio and video streams and automatically subscribes to the audio and video streams of all the other users in the channel. Subscribing incurs all associated usage costs. To unsubscribe, set the options parameter or call the mute methods accordingly.
  • Ensure that the App ID used for generating the token is the same App ID used in the initialize method for creating an IRtcEngine object.
Parameters
tokenThe token generated at your server. See Authenticate Your Users with Tokens.
channelIdPointer to the unique channel name for the Agora RTC session in the string format smaller than 64 bytes. Supported characters:
  • 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: "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", " {", "}", "|", "~", ",".
info(Optional) Reserved for future use.
uid(Optional) User ID. A 32-bit unsigned integer with a value ranging from 1 to 232-1. The uid must be unique. If a uid is not assigned (or set to 0), the SDK assigns and returns a uid in the onJoinChannelSuccess callback. Your application must record and maintain the returned uid, because the SDK does not do so. Note: The ID of each user in the channel should be unique. If you want to join the same channel from different devices, ensure that the user IDs in all devices are different.
optionsThe channel media options: ChannelMediaOptions.
Returns
  • 0(ERR_OK): Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -2(ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT): The parameter is invalid.
    • -3(ERR_NOT_READY): The SDK fails to be initialized. You can try re-initializing the SDK.
    • -5(ERR_REFUSED): The request is rejected. This may be caused by the following:
      • You have created an IChannel object with the same channel name.
      • You have joined and published a stream in a channel created by the IChannel object. When you join a channel created by the IRtcEngine object, the SDK publishes the local audio and video streams to that channel by default. Because the SDK does not support publishing a local stream to more than one channel simultaneously, an error occurs in this occasion.
    • -7(ERR_NOT_INITIALIZED): The SDK is not initialized before calling this method.
    • -17(ERR_JOIN_CHANNEL_REJECTED): The request to join the channel is rejected. The SDK supports joining only one IRtcEngine channel at a time. Therefore, the SDK returns this error code when a user who has already joined an IRtcEngine channel calls the joining channel method of the IRtcEngine class with a valid channel name.

◆ switchChannel() [1/2]

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::switchChannel ( const char *  token,
const char *  channelId 
)
pure virtual

Switches to a different channel.

This method allows the audience of a LIVE_BROADCASTING channel to switch to a different channel.

After the user successfully switches to another channel, the onLeaveChannel and onJoinChannelSuccess callbacks are triggered to indicate that the user has left the original channel and joined a new one.

Once the user switches to another 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 billing calculation. If you do not want to subscribe to a specified stream or all remote streams, call the mute methods accordingly.

Note
This method applies to the audience role in a LIVE_BROADCASTING channel only.
Parameters
tokenThe token generated at your server. See Authenticate Your Users with Tokens.
channelIdUnique channel name for the AgoraRTC session in the string format. The string length must be less than 64 bytes. Supported character scopes are:
  • 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: "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", " {", "}", "|", "~", ",".
Returns
  • 0(ERR_OK): Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -1(ERR_FAILED): A general error occurs (no specified reason).
    • -2(ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT): The parameter is invalid.
    • -5(ERR_REFUSED): The request is rejected, probably because the user is not an audience.
    • -7(ERR_NOT_INITIALIZED): The SDK is not initialized.
    • -102(ERR_INVALID_CHANNEL_NAME): The channel name is invalid.
    • -113(ERR_NOT_IN_CHANNEL): The user is not in the channel.

◆ switchChannel() [2/2]

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::switchChannel ( const char *  token,
const char *  channelId,
const ChannelMediaOptions options 
)
pure virtual

Switches to a different channel, and configures whether to automatically subscribe to audio or video streams in the target channel.

Since
v3.3.0

This method allows the audience of a LIVE_BROADCASTING channel to switch to a different channel.

After the user successfully switches to another channel, the onLeaveChannel and onJoinChannelSuccess callbacks are triggered to indicate that the user has left the original channel and joined a new one.

Note
  • This method applies to the audience role in a LIVE_BROADCASTING channel only.
  • The difference between this method and switchChannel[1/2] is that the former adds the options parameter to configure whether the user automatically subscribes to all remote audio and video streams in the target channel. By default, the user subscribes to the audio and video streams of all the other users in the target channel, thus incurring all associated usage costs. To unsubscribe, set the options parameter or call the mute methods accordingly.
Parameters
tokenThe token generated at your server. See Authenticate Your Users with Tokens.
channelIdUnique channel name for the AgoraRTC session in the string format. The string length must be less than 64 bytes. Supported character scopes are:
  • 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: "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", " {", "}", "|", "~", ",".
optionsThe channel media options: ChannelMediaOptions.
Returns
  • 0(ERR_OK): Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -1(ERR_FAILED): A general error occurs (no specified reason).
    • -2(ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT): The parameter is invalid.
    • -5(ERR_REFUSED): The request is rejected, probably because the user is not an audience.
    • -7(ERR_NOT_INITIALIZED): The SDK is not initialized.
    • -102(ERR_INVALID_CHANNEL_NAME): The channel name is invalid.
    • -113(ERR_NOT_IN_CHANNEL): The user is not in the channel.

◆ leaveChannel()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::leaveChannel ( )
pure virtual

Allows a user to leave a channel, such as hanging up or exiting a call.

After joining a channel, the user must call the leaveChannel method to end the call before joining another channel.

This method returns 0 if the user leaves the channel and releases all resources related to the call.

This method call is asynchronous, and the user has not left the channel when the method call returns. Once the user leaves the channel, the SDK triggers the onLeaveChannel callback.

A successful leaveChannel method call triggers the following callbacks:

  • The local client: onLeaveChannel
  • The remote client: onUserOffline , if the user leaving the channel is in the COMMUNICATION channel, or is a host in the LIVE_BROADCASTING profile.
Note
  • If you call the release method immediately after the leaveChannel method, the leaveChannel process interrupts, and the onLeaveChannel callback is not triggered.
  • If you call the leaveChannel method during a CDN live streaming, the SDK triggers the removePublishStreamUrl method.
Returns
  • 0(ERR_OK): Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -1(ERR_FAILED): A general error occurs (no specified reason).
    • -2(ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT): The parameter is invalid.
    • -7(ERR_NOT_INITIALIZED): The SDK is not initialized.

◆ renewToken()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::renewToken ( const char *  token)
pure virtual

Gets a new token when the current token expires after a period of time.

The token expires after a period of time once the token schema is enabled when:

The application should call this method to get the new token. Failure to do so will result in the SDK disconnecting from the server.

Parameters
tokenThe new token.
Returns
  • 0(ERR_OK): Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -1(ERR_FAILED): A general error occurs (no specified reason).
    • -2(ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT): The parameter is invalid.
    • -7(ERR_NOT_INITIALIZED): The SDK is not initialized.

◆ queryInterface()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::queryInterface ( INTERFACE_ID_TYPE  iid,
void **  inter 
)
pure virtual

Gets the pointer to the device manager object.

Parameters
iidID of the interface.
interPointer to the DeviceManager object.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ registerLocalUserAccount()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::registerLocalUserAccount ( const char *  appId,
const char *  userAccount 
)
pure virtual

Registers a user account.

Once registered, the user account can be used to identify the local user when the user joins the channel. After the user successfully registers a user account, the SDK triggers the onLocalUserRegistered callback on the local client, reporting the user ID and user account of the local user.

To join a channel with a user account, you can choose either of the following:

The difference between the two is that for the former, the time elapsed between calling the joinChannelWithUserAccount method and joining the channel is shorter than the latter.

Note
  • Ensure that you set the userAccount parameter. Otherwise, this method does not take effect.
  • Ensure that the value of the userAccount parameter is unique in the channel.
  • To ensure smooth communication, use the same parameter type to identify the user. For example, if a user joins the channel with a user ID, then ensure all the other users use the user ID too. The same applies to the user account. If a user joins the channel with the Agora Web SDK, ensure that the uid of the user is set to the same parameter type.
Parameters
appIdThe App ID of your project.
userAccountThe user account. The maximum length of this parameter is 255 bytes. Ensure that the user account is unique and do not set it as null. Supported character scopes are:
  • 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: "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", " {", "}", "|", "~", ",".
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ joinChannelWithUserAccount() [1/2]

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::joinChannelWithUserAccount ( const char *  token,
const char *  channelId,
const char *  userAccount 
)
pure virtual

Joins the channel with a user account.

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

Once the user joins the channel (switches to another 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 billing calculation. If you do not want to subscribe to a specified stream or all remote streams, call the mute methods accordingly.

Note
  • To ensure smooth communication, use the same parameter type to identify the user. For example, if a user joins the channel with a user ID, then ensure all the other users use the user ID too. The same applies to the user account. If a user joins the channel with the Agora Web SDK, ensure that the uid of the user is set to the same parameter type.
  • Before using a String user name, ensure that you read How can I use string user names for getting details about the limitations and implementation steps.
Parameters
tokenThe token generated at your server. See Authenticate Your Users with Tokens.
channelIdThe channel name. The maximum length of this parameter is 64 bytes. Supported character scopes are:
  • All lowercase English letters: a to z.
  • All uppercase English letters: A to Z.

◆ joinChannelWithUserAccount() [2/2]

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::joinChannelWithUserAccount ( const char *  token,
const char *  channelId,
const char *  userAccount,
const ChannelMediaOptions options 
)
pure virtual

Joins the channel with a user account, and configures whether to publish or automatically subscribe to the audio or video streams.

Since
v3.3.0

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

Note
  • Compared with joinChannelWithUserAccount [1/2], this method has the options parameter, which configures whether the user publishes or automatically subscribes to the audio and video streams in the channel when joining the channel. By default, the user publishes the local audio and video streams and automatically subscribes to the audio and video streams of all the other users in the channel. Subscribing incurs all associated usage costs. To unsubscribe, set the options parameter or call the mute methods accordingly.
  • To ensure smooth communication, use the same parameter type to identify the user. For example, if a user joins the channel with a user ID, then ensure all the other users use the user ID too. The same applies to the user account. If a user joins the channel with the Agora Web SDK, ensure that the uid of the user is set to the same parameter type.
  • Before using a String user name, ensure that you read How can I use string user names for getting details about the limitations and implementation steps.
Parameters
tokenThe token generated at your server. See Authenticate Your Users with Tokens.
channelIdThe channel name. The maximum length of this parameter is 64 bytes. Supported character scopes are:
  • 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: "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", " {", "}", "|", "~", ",".
userAccountThe user account. The maximum length of this parameter is 255 bytes. Ensure that the user account is unique and do not set it as null. Supported character scopes are:
  • All lowercase English letters: a to z.
  • All uppercase English letters: A to Z.
  • All numeric characters: 0 to 9.
  • The space character.
  • Punctuation characters and other symbols, including: "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", " {", "}", "|", "~", ",".
optionsThe channel media options: ChannelMediaOptions.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT (-2)
    • ERR_NOT_READY (-3)
    • ERR_REFUSED (-5)
    • -17(ERR_JOIN_CHANNEL_REJECTED): The request to join the channel is rejected. The SDK supports joining only one IRtcEngine channel at a time. Therefore, the SDK returns this error code when a user who has already joined an IRtcEngine channel calls the joining channel method of the IRtcEngine class with a valid channel name.

◆ getUserInfoByUserAccount()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::getUserInfoByUserAccount ( const char *  userAccount,
UserInfo userInfo 
)
pure virtual

Gets the user information by passing in the user account.

After a remote user joins the channel, the SDK gets the user ID and user account of the remote user, caches them in a mapping table object (userInfo), and triggers the onUserInfoUpdated callback on the local client.

After receiving the oonUserInfoUpdated callback, you can call this method to get the user ID of the remote user from the userInfo object by passing in the user account.

Parameters
userAccountThe user account of the user. Ensure that you set this parameter.
[in,out]userInfoA userInfo object that identifies the user:
  • Input: A userInfo object.
  • Output: A userInfo object that contains the user account and user ID of the user.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ getUserInfoByUid()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::getUserInfoByUid ( uid_t  uid,
UserInfo userInfo 
)
pure virtual

Gets the user information by passing in the user ID.

After a remote user joins the channel, the SDK gets the user ID and user account of the remote user, caches them in a mapping table object (userInfo), and triggers the onUserInfoUpdated callback on the local client.

After receiving the onUserInfoUpdated callback, you can call this method to get the user account of the remote user from the userInfo object by passing in the user ID.

Parameters
uidThe user ID of the remote user. Ensure that you set this parameter.
[in,out]userInfoA userInfo object that identifies the user:
  • Input: A userInfo object.
  • Output: A userInfo object that contains the user account and user ID of the user.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ startEchoTest() [1/3]

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::startEchoTest ( )
pure virtual

Starts an audio call test.

Deprecated:
This method is deprecated as of v2.4.0.

This method starts an audio call test to check whether the audio devices (for example, headset and speaker) and the network connection are working properly.

To conduct the test:

  • The user speaks and the recording is played back within 10 seconds.
  • If the user can hear the recording within 10 seconds, the audio devices and network connection are working properly.
Note
  • After calling this method, always call the stopEchoTest method to end the test. Otherwise, the application cannot run the next echo test.
  • In the LIVE_BROADCASTING profile, only the hosts can call this method. If the user switches from the COMMUNICATION toLIVE_BROADCASTING profile, the user must call the setClientRole method to change the user role from the audience (default) to the host before calling this method.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ startEchoTest() [2/3]

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::startEchoTest ( int  intervalInSeconds)
pure virtual

Starts an audio call test.

This method starts an audio call test to determine whether the audio devices (for example, headset and speaker) and the network connection are working properly.

In the audio call test, you record your voice. If the recording plays back within the set time interval, the audio devices and the network connection are working properly.

Note
  • Call this method before joining a channel.
  • After calling this method, call the stopEchoTest method to end the test. Otherwise, the app cannot run the next echo test, or call the joinChannel method.
  • In the LIVE_BROADCASTING profile, only a host can call this method.
Parameters
intervalInSecondsThe time interval (s) between when you speak and when the recording plays back.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ startEchoTest() [3/3]

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::startEchoTest ( const EchoTestConfiguration config)
pure virtual

Starts an audio and video call loop test.

Since
v3.5.2

Before joining a channel, to test whether the user's local sending and receiving streams are normal, you can call this method to perform an audio and video call loop test, which tests whether the audio and video devices and the user's upstream and downstream networks are working properly.

After starting the test, the user needs to make a sound or face the camera. The audio or video is output after about two seconds. If the audio playback is normal, the audio device and the user's upstream and downstream networks are working properly; if the video playback is normal, the video device and the user's upstream and downstream networks are working properly.

Note
  • Call this method before joining a channel.
  • After calling this method, call stopEchoTest to end the test; otherwise, the user cannot perform the next audio and video call loop test and cannot join the channel.
  • In the LIVE_BROADCASTING profile, only a host can call this method.
Parameters
configThe configuration of the audio and video call loop test. See EchoTestConfiguration.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ stopEchoTest()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::stopEchoTest ( )
pure virtual

Stops call loop test.

After calling startEchoTest [2/3] or startEchoTest [3/3], call this method if you want to stop the call loop test.

Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ setCloudProxy()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setCloudProxy ( CLOUD_PROXY_TYPE  proxyType)
pure virtual

Sets the Agora cloud proxy service.

Since
v3.3.0

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 proxy and set the cloud proxy type with the proxyType parameter.

After a successfully cloud proxy connection, the SDK triggers the onConnectionStateChanged (CONNECTION_STATE_CONNECTING, CONNECTION_CHANGED_SETTING_PROXY_SERVER) callback.

As of v3.6.2, when a user calls this method and then joins a channel successfully, the SDK triggers the onProxyConnected callback to report the user ID, the proxy type connected, and the time elapsed from the user calling joinChannel until this callback is triggered.

To disable the cloud proxy that has been set, call setCloudProxy(NONE_PROXY). To change the cloud proxy type that has been set, call setCloudProxy(NONE_PROXY) first, and then call setCloudProxy with the desired proxyType.

Note
  • Agora recommends that you call this method before joining the channel or after leaving the channel.
  • For the SDK v3.3.x, when users use the Force UDP cloud proxy, the services for Media Push and cohosting across channels are not available; for the SDK v3.4.0 or later, when users behind a firewall use 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 the following:
    • An error occurs when calling startAudioMixing 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
proxyTypeThe cloud proxy type, see CLOUD_PROXY_TYPE. This parameter is required, and the SDK reports an error if you do not pass in a value.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -2(ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT): The parameter is invalid.
    • -7(ERR_NOT_INITIALIZED): The SDK is not initialized.

◆ enableVideo()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::enableVideo ( )
pure virtual

Enables the video module.

Call this method either before joining a channel or during a call. If this method is called before joining a channel, the call starts in the video mode. If this method is called during an audio call, the audio mode switches to the video mode. To disable the video module, call the disableVideo method.

A successful enableVideo method call triggers the onUserEnableVideo (true) callback on the remote client.

Note
  • This method affects the internal engine and can be called after the leaveChannel method.
  • This method resets the internal engine and takes some time to take effect. We recommend using the following API methods to control the video engine modules separately:
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ disableVideo()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::disableVideo ( )
pure virtual

Disables the video module.

This method can be called before joining a channel or during a call. If this method is called before joining a channel, the call starts in audio mode. If this method is called during a video call, the video mode switches to the audio mode. To enable the video module, call the enableVideo method.

A successful disableVideo method call triggers the onUserEnableVideo (false) callback on the remote client.

Note
  • This method affects the internal engine and can be called after the leaveChannel method.
  • This method resets the internal engine and takes some time to take effect. We recommend using the following APIs to control the video engine modules separately:
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ setVideoProfile()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setVideoProfile ( VIDEO_PROFILE_TYPE  profile,
bool  swapWidthAndHeight 
)
pure virtual

Sets the video profile.

Deprecated:
This method is deprecated as of v2.3. Use the setVideoEncoderConfiguration method instead.

Each video profile includes a set of parameters, such as the resolution, frame rate, and bitrate. If the camera device does not support the specified resolution, the SDK automatically chooses a suitable camera resolution, keeping the encoder resolution specified by the setVideoProfile method.

Note
  • You can call this method either before or after joining a channel.
  • If you do not need to set the video profile after joining the channel, call this method before the enableVideo method to reduce the render time of the first video frame.
  • Always set the video profile before calling the joinChannel or startPreview method.
Parameters
profileSets the video profile. See VIDEO_PROFILE_TYPE.
swapWidthAndHeightSets whether to swap the width and height of the video stream:
  • true: Swap the width and height.
  • false: (Default) Do not swap the width and height. The width and height of the output video are consistent with the set video profile.
Note
Since the landscape or portrait mode of the output video can be decided directly by the video profile, We recommend setting swapWidthAndHeight to false (default).
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ setVideoEncoderConfiguration()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setVideoEncoderConfiguration ( const VideoEncoderConfiguration config)
pure virtual

Sets the video encoder configuration.

Each video encoder configuration corresponds to a set of video parameters, including the resolution, frame rate, bitrate, and video orientation.

The parameters specified in this method are the maximum values under ideal network conditions. If the video engine cannot render the video using the specified parameters due to poor network conditions, the parameters further down the list are considered until a successful configuration is found.

Note
  • You can call this method either before or after joining a channel.
  • If you do not need to set the video encoder configuration after joining the channel, you can call this method before the enableVideo method to reduce the render time of the first video frame.
Parameters
configSets the local video encoder configuration. See VideoEncoderConfiguration.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ setCameraCapturerConfiguration()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setCameraCapturerConfiguration ( const CameraCapturerConfiguration config)
pure virtual

Sets the camera capture configuration.

For a video call or the interactive live video streaming, generally the SDK controls the camera output parameters. When the default camera capturer settings do not meet special requirements or cause performance problems, we recommend using this method to set the camera capturer configuration:

Note
Call this method before enabling the local camera. That said, you can call this method before calling joinChannel, enableVideo, or enableLocalVideo, depending on which method you use to turn on your local camera.
Parameters
configSets the camera capturer configuration. See CameraCapturerConfiguration.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ setupLocalVideo()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setupLocalVideo ( const VideoCanvas canvas)
pure virtual

Initializes the local video view.

This method initializes the video view of a local stream on the local device. It affects only the video view that the local user sees, not the published local video stream.

Call this method to bind the local video stream to a video view and to set the rendering and mirror modes of the video view. The binding is still valid after the user leaves the channel, which means that the window still displays. To unbind the view, set the view in VideoCanvas to NULL.

Note
  • You can call this method either before or after joining a channel.
  • During a call, you can call this method as many times as necessary to update the display mode of the local video view.
Parameters
canvasPointer to the local video view and settings. See VideoCanvas.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ setupRemoteVideo()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setupRemoteVideo ( const VideoCanvas canvas)
pure virtual

Initializes the video view of a remote user.

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 this 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. If your application does not recognize the dummy client, bind the remote user to the view when the SDK triggers the onFirstRemoteVideoDecoded callback. To unbind the remote user from the view, set the view in VideoCanvas to NULL. Once the remote user leaves the channel, the SDK unbinds the remote user.

Note
To update the rendering or mirror mode of the remote video view during a call, use the setRemoteRenderMode method.
Parameters
canvasPointer to the remote video view and settings. See VideoCanvas.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ startPreview()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::startPreview ( )
pure virtual

Starts the local video preview before joining the channel.

Before calling this method, you must:

  • Call the setupLocalVideo method to set up the local preview window and configure the attributes.
  • Call the enableVideo method to enable video.
Note
Once the startPreview method is called to start the local video preview, if you leave the channel by calling the leaveChannel method, the local video preview remains until you call the stopPreview method to disable it.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ setRemoteUserPriority()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setRemoteUserPriority ( uid_t  uid,
PRIORITY_TYPE  userPriority 
)
pure virtual

Prioritizes a remote user's stream.

The SDK ensures the high-priority user gets the best possible stream quality.

Note
  • The Agora SDK supports setting userPriority as high for one user only.
  • Ensure that you call this method before joining a channel.
Parameters
uidThe ID of the remote user.
userPrioritySets the priority of the remote user. See PRIORITY_TYPE.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ stopPreview()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::stopPreview ( )
pure virtual

Stops the local video preview.

After calling startPreview, if you want to stop the local video preview, call stopPreview.

Note
Call this method before you join the channel or after you leave the channel.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ enableAudio()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::enableAudio ( )
pure virtual

Enables the audio module.

The audio mode is enabled by default.

Note
  • This method affects the audio module and can be called after the leaveChannel method. You can call this method either before or after joining a channel.
  • This method enables the audio module and takes some time to take effect. Agora recommends using the following API methods to control the audio module separately:
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ enableLocalAudio()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::enableLocalAudio ( bool  enabled)
pure virtual

Disables/Re-enables the local audio function.

The audio function is enabled by default. This method disables or re-enables the local audio function, that is, to stop or restart local audio capturing.

This method does not affect receiving the remote audio streams,and enableLocalAudio(false) is applicable to scenarios where the user wants to receive remote audio streams without sending any audio stream to other users in the channel.

Once the local audio function is disabled or re-enabled, the SDK triggers the onLocalAudioStateChanged callback, which reports LOCAL_AUDIO_STREAM_STATE_STOPPED(0) or LOCAL_AUDIO_STREAM_STATE_RECORDING(1).

Note
  • This method is different from the muteLocalAudioStream method:
    • enableLocalAudio: Disables/Re-enables the local audio capturing and processing. If you disable or re-enable local audio capturing using the enableLocalAudio method, the local user may hear a pause in the remote audio playback.
    • muteLocalAudioStream: Sends/Stops sending the local audio streams.
  • This method can be called either before or after you join a channel. Calling it before you join a channel can set the device state only, and it takes effect immediately after you join the channel.
Parameters
enabledSets whether to disable/re-enable the local audio function:
  • true: (Default) Re-enable the local audio function, that is, to start the local audio capturing device (for example, the microphone).
  • false: Disable the local audio function, that is, to stop local audio capturing.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ disableAudio()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::disableAudio ( )
pure virtual

Disables the audio module.

Note
  • This method affects the internal engine and can be called after the leaveChannel method. You can call this method either before or after joining a channel.
  • This method resets the internal engine and takes some time to take effect. We recommend using the enableLocalAudio and muteLocalAudioStream methods to capture, process, and send the local audio streams.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ setAudioProfile()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setAudioProfile ( AUDIO_PROFILE_TYPE  profile,
AUDIO_SCENARIO_TYPE  scenario 
)
pure virtual

Sets the audio parameters and application scenarios.

Note
  • The setAudioProfile method must be called before the joinChannel method.
  • In the COMMUNICATION and LIVE_BROADCASTING profiles, the bitrate may be different from your settings due to network self-adaptation.
  • In scenarios requiring high-quality audio, for example, a music teaching scenario, we recommend setting profile as AUDIO_PROFILE_MUSIC_HIGH_QUALITY (4) and scenario as AUDIO_SCENARIO_GAME_STREAMING (3).
Parameters
profileSets the sample rate, bitrate, encoding mode, and the number of channels. See AUDIO_PROFILE_TYPE.
scenarioSets the audio application scenario. See AUDIO_SCENARIO_TYPE. Under different audio scenarios, the device uses different volume types. For details, see What is the difference between the in-call volume and the media volume?.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ muteLocalAudioStream()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::muteLocalAudioStream ( bool  mute)
pure virtual

Stops or resumes publishing the local audio stream.

As of v3.4.5, this method only sets the publishing state of the audio stream in the channel of IRtcEngine.

A successful method call triggers the onUserMuteAudio callback on the remote client.

You can only publish the local stream in one channel at a time. If you create multiple channels, ensure that you only call muteLocalAudioStream (false) in one channel; otherwise, the method call fails, and the SDK returns -5 (ERR_REFUSED).

Note
  • This method does not change the usage state of the audio-capturing device.
  • Whether this method call takes effect is affected by the joinChannel [2/2] and setClientRole methods. For details, see Set the Publishing State.
Parameters
muteSets whether to stop publishing the local audio stream.

◆ setRemoteVideoStreamType()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setRemoteVideoStreamType ( uid_t  userId,
REMOTE_VIDEO_STREAM_TYPE  streamType 
)
pure virtual

Sets the stream type of the remote video.

Under limited network conditions, if the publisher has not disabled the dual-stream mode using enableDualStreamMode(false), the receiver can choose to receive either the high-quality video stream (the high resolution, and high bitrate video stream) or the low-video stream (the low resolution, and low bitrate video stream).

By default, users receive the high-quality video stream. Call this method if you want to switch to the low-video stream. This method allows the app to adjust the corresponding video stream type based on the size of the video window to reduce the bandwidth and resources.

The aspect ratio of the low-video stream is the same as the high-quality video stream. Once the resolution of the high-quality video stream is set, the system automatically sets the resolution, frame rate, and bitrate of the low-video stream.

The method result returns in the onApiCallExecuted callback.

Note
You can call this method either before or after joining a channel. If you call both setRemoteVideoStreamType and setRemoteDefaultVideoStreamType, the SDK applies the settings in the setRemoteVideoStreamType method.
Parameters
userIdID of the remote user sending the video stream.
streamTypeSets the video-stream type. See REMOTE_VIDEO_STREAM_TYPE.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ setRemoteDefaultVideoStreamType()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setRemoteDefaultVideoStreamType ( REMOTE_VIDEO_STREAM_TYPE  streamType)
pure virtual

Sets the default stream type of remote videos.

Under limited network conditions, if the publisher has not disabled the dual-stream mode using enableDualStreamMode(false), the receiver can choose to receive either the high-quality video stream (the high resolution, and high bitrate video stream) or the low-video stream (the low resolution, and low bitrate video stream).

By default, users receive the high-quality video stream. Call this method if you want to switch to the low-video stream. This method allows the app to adjust the corresponding video stream type based on the size of the video window to reduce the bandwidth and resources. The aspect ratio of the low-video stream is the same as the high-quality video stream. Once the resolution of the high-quality video stream is set, the system automatically sets the resolution, frame rate, and bitrate of the low-video stream.

The method result returns in the onApiCallExecuted callback.

Note
  • This method can only be called before joining a channel. Agora does not support you to change the default subscribed video stream type after joining a channel.
  • If you call both this method and setRemoteVideoStreamType, the SDK applies the settings in the setRemoteVideoStreamType method.
Parameters
streamTypeSets the default video-stream type. See REMOTE_VIDEO_STREAM_TYPE.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ enableAudioVolumeIndication()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::enableAudioVolumeIndication ( int  interval,
int  smooth,
bool  report_vad 
)
pure virtual

Enables the reporting of users' volume indication.

This method enables the SDK to regularly report the volume information of the local user who sends a stream and remote users (up to three) whose instantaneous volumes are the highest to the app. Once you call this method and users send streams in the channel, the SDK triggers the onAudioVolumeIndication callback at the time interval set in this method.

Note
You can call this method either before or after joining a channel.
Parameters
intervalSets the time interval between two consecutive volume indications:
  • ≤ 0: Disables the volume indication.
  • > 0: Time interval (ms) between two consecutive volume indications. We recommend setting interval > 200 ms. Do not set interval < 10 ms, or the onAudioVolumeIndication callback will not be triggered.
smoothSmoothing factor sets the sensitivity of the audio volume indicator. The value ranges between 0 and 10. The greater the value, the more sensitive the indicator. The recommended value is 3.
report_vad
  • true: Enable 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) Disable 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.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ enableDeepLearningDenoise()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::enableDeepLearningDenoise ( bool  enable)
pure virtual

Enables or disables deep-learning noise reduction.

Since
v3.3.0

The SDK enables traditional noise reduction mode by default to reduce most of the stationary background noise. If you need to reduce most of the non-stationary background noise, Agora recommends enabling deep-learning noise reduction as follows:

  1. Ensure that the dynamical library is integrated in your project:
    • Android: libagora_ai_denoise_extension.so
    • iOS/macOS: AgoraAIDenoiseExtension.xcframework
    • Windows: libagora_ai_denoise_extension.dll
  2. Call enableDeepLearningDenoise(true).

Deep-learning noise reduction requires high-performance devices. For example, the following devices and later models are known to support deep-learning noise reduction:

  • iPhone 6S
  • MacBook Pro 2015
  • iPad Pro (2nd generation)
  • iPad mini (5th generation)
  • iPad Air (3rd generation)

After successfully enabling deep-learning noise reduction, if the SDK detects that the device performance is not sufficient, it automatically disables deep-learning noise reduction and enables traditional noise reduction.

If you call enableDeepLearningDenoise(false) or the SDK automatically disables deep-learning noise reduction in the channel, when you need to re-enable deep-learning noise reduction, you need to call leaveChannel first, and then call enableDeepLearningDenoise(true).

Note
  • This method dynamically loads the library, so Agora recommends calling this method before joining a channel.
  • This method works best with the human voice. Agora does not recommend using this method for audio containing music.
Parameters
enableSets whether to enable deep-learning noise reduction.
  • true: Enables deep-learning noise reduction.
  • false: Disable deep-learning noise reduction.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

const SIZE iconSize,
const bool  includeScreen 
)
pure virtual

Gets a list of shareable screens and windows.

Since
v3.5.2

You can call this method before sharing a screen or window to get a list of shareable screens and windows, which enables a user to use thumbnails in the list to easily choose a particular screen or window to share. This list also contains important information such as window ID and screen ID, with which you can call startScreenCaptureByWindowId or startScreenCaptureByDisplayId to start the sharing.

Note
This method applies to macOS and Windows only.
Parameters
thumbSizeThe target size of the screen or window thumbnail. The width and height are in pixels. See SIZE. The SDK scales the original image to make the length of the longest side of the image the same as that of the target size without distorting the original image. For example, if the original image is 400 × 300 and thumbSize is 100 × 100, the actual size of the thumbnail is 100 × 75. If the target size is larger than the original size, the thumbnail is the original image and the SDK does not scale it.
iconSizeThe target size of the icon corresponding to the application program. The width and height are in pixels. See SIZE. The SDK scales the original image to make the length of the longest side of the image the same as that of the target size without distorting the original image. For example, if the original image is 400 × 300 and iconSize is 100 × 100, the actual size of the icon is 100 × 75. If the target size is larger than the original size, the icon is the original image and the SDK does not scale it.
includeScreenWhether the SDK returns screen information in addition to window information:
  • true: The SDK returns screen and window information.
  • false: The SDK returns window information only.
Returns
IScreenCaptureSourceList

◆ enableLastmileTest()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::enableLastmileTest ( )
pure virtual

Enables the network connection quality test.

This method tests the quality of the users' network connections and is disabled by default.

Before a user joins a channel or before an audience switches to a host, call this method to check the uplink network quality.

This method consumes additional network traffic, and hence may affect communication quality.

Call the disableLastmileTest method to disable this test after receiving the onLastmileQuality callback, and before joining a channel.

Note
  • Do not call any other methods before receiving the onLastmileQuality callback. Otherwise, the callback may be interrupted by other methods, and hence may not be triggered.
  • A host should not call this method after joining a channel (when in a call).
  • If you call this method to test the last mile network quality, the SDK consumes the bandwidth of a video stream, whose bitrate corresponds to the bitrate you set in the setVideoEncoderConfiguration method. After you join the channel, whether you have called the disableLastmileTest method or not, the SDK automatically stops consuming the bandwidth.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ disableLastmileTest()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::disableLastmileTest ( )
pure virtual

Disables the network connection quality test.

Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ startLastmileProbeTest()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::startLastmileProbeTest ( const LastmileProbeConfig config)
pure virtual

Starts the last-mile network probe test.

This method starts the last-mile network probe test before joining a channel to get the uplink and downlink last mile network statistics, including the bandwidth, packet loss, jitter, and round-trip time (RTT).

Call this method to check the uplink network quality before users join a channel or before an audience switches to a host. Once this method is enabled, the SDK returns the following callbacks:

  • onLastmileQuality: the SDK triggers this callback within two seconds depending on the network conditions. This callback rates the network conditions and is more closely linked to the user experience.
  • onLastmileProbeResult: the SDK triggers this callback within 30 seconds depending on the network conditions. This callback returns the real-time statistics of the network conditions and is more objective.
Note
  • This method consumes extra network traffic and may affect communication quality. We do not recommend calling this method together with enableLastmileTest.
  • Do not call other methods before receiving the onLastmileQuality and onLastmileProbeResult callbacks. Otherwise, the callbacks may be interrupted.
  • In the LIVE_BROADCASTING profile, a host should not call this method after joining a channel.
Parameters
configSets the configurations of the last-mile network probe test. See LastmileProbeConfig.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ enableEncryption()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::enableEncryption ( bool  enabled,
const EncryptionConfig config 
)
pure virtual

Enables/Disables the built-in encryption.

Since
v3.1.0

In scenarios requiring high security, Agora recommends calling this method to enable the built-in encryption before joining a channel.

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.

As of v3.4.5, Agora recommends using either the AES_128_GCM2 or AES_256_GCM2 encryption mode, both of which support adding a salt and are more secure. For details, see Media Stream Encryption.

Warning
All users in the same channel must use the same encryption mode, encryption key, and salt; otherwise, users cannot communicate with each other.
Note
  • If you enable the built-in encryption, you cannot use the RTMP or RTMPS streaming function.
  • To enhance security, Agora recommends using a new key and salt every time you enable the media stream encryption.
Parameters
enabledWhether to enable the built-in encryption:
  • true: Enable the built-in encryption.
  • false: Disable the built-in encryption.
configConfigurations of built-in encryption schemas. See EncryptionConfig.

◆ addVideoWatermark() [1/2]

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::addVideoWatermark ( const RtcImage watermark)
pure virtual
Deprecated:
Adds a watermark image to the local video or CDN live stream.

This method is deprecated from v2.9.1. Use addVideoWatermark [2/2] instead.

This method adds a PNG watermark image to the local video stream for the capturing device, channel audience, and CDN live audience to view and capture.

To add the PNG file to the CDN live publishing stream, see the setLiveTranscoding method.

Parameters
watermarkPointer to the watermark image to be added to the local video stream. See RtcImage.
Note
  • The URL descriptions are different for the local video and CDN live streams:
    • In a local video stream, url in RtcImage refers to the absolute path of the added watermark image file in the local video stream.
    • In a CDN live stream, url in RtcImage 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.

  • false: The device does not support the camera exposure function.

◆ isCameraAutoFocusFaceModeSupported()

virtual bool agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::isCameraAutoFocusFaceModeSupported ( )
pure virtual

Checks whether the camera auto-face focus function is supported.

Ensure that you call this method after the camera starts, for example, by calling startPreview or joinChannel.

Returns
  • true: The device supports the camera auto-face focus function.
  • false: The device does not support the camera auto-face focus function.

◆ setCameraFocusPositionInPreview()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setCameraFocusPositionInPreview ( float  positionX,
float  positionY 
)
pure virtual

Sets the camera manual focus position.

Ensure that you call this method after the camera starts, for example, by calling startPreview or joinChannel.

A successful setCameraFocusPositionInPreview method call triggers the onCameraFocusAreaChanged callback on the local client.

Parameters
positionXThe horizontal coordinate of the touch point in the view.
positionYThe vertical coordinate of the touch point in the view.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ setCameraExposurePosition()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setCameraExposurePosition ( float  positionXinView,
float  positionYinView 
)
pure virtual

Sets the camera exposure position.

Ensure that you call this method after the camera starts, for example, by calling startPreview or joinChannel.

A successful setCameraExposurePosition method call triggers the onCameraExposureAreaChanged callback on the local client.

Parameters
positionXinViewThe horizontal coordinate of the touch point in the view.
positionYinViewThe vertical coordinate of the touch point in the view.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ setCameraAutoFocusFaceModeEnabled()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setCameraAutoFocusFaceModeEnabled ( bool  enabled)
pure virtual

Sets whether to enable face autofocus.

The SDK disables face autofocus by default. To set face autofocus, call this method.

Note
Call this method after the camera is started.
Parameters
enabledDetermines whether to enable face autofocus:
  • true: Enable face autofocus.
  • false: Disable face autofocus.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ takeSnapshot()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::takeSnapshot ( const char *  channel,
uid_t  uid,
const char *  filePath 
)
pure virtual

Takes a snapshot of a video stream.

Since
v3.5.2

This method takes a snapshot of a video stream from the specified user, generates a JPG image, and saves it to the specified path.

The method is asynchronous, and the SDK has not taken the snapshot when the method call returns. After a successful method call, the SDK triggers the onSnapshotTaken callback to report whether the snapshot is successfully taken as well as the details of the snapshot taken.

Note
  • Call this method after joining a channel.
  • If the video of the specified user is pre-processed, for example, added with watermarks or image enhancement effects, the generated snapshot also includes the pre-processing effects.
Parameters
channelThe channel name.
uidThe user ID of the user. Set uid as 0 if you want to take a snapshot of the local user's video.
filePathThe local path (including the filename extensions) of the snapshot. For example, C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\Agora\<process_name>\example.jpg on Windows, /App Sandbox/Library/Caches/example.jpg on iOS, ~/Library/Logs/example.jpg on macOS, and /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/<package name>/files/example.jpg on Android. Ensure that the path you specify exists and is writable.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
