addVideoWatermarkEx

Adds a watermark image to the local video.

abstract addVideoWatermarkEx(
    watermarkUrl: string,
    options: WatermarkOptions,
    connection: RtcConnection
  ): number;

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 (OrientationMode) is fixed landscape mode or the adaptive landscape mode, the watermark uses the landscape orientation.
If the orientation mode of the encoding video (OrientationMode) 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 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.

Enables the reporting of users' volume indication.

abstract enableAudioVolumeIndicationEx(
    interval: number,
    smooth: number,
    reportVad: boolean,
    connection: RtcConnection
  ): number;

Details

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. 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.

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. The lowest value is 50.

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.

enableContentInspectEx

Enables or disables video screenshot and upload.

abstract enableContentInspectEx(
    enabled: boolean,
    config: ContentInspectConfig,
    connection: RtcConnection
  ): number;

Details

This method can take screenshots for multiple video streams and upload them. When video screenshot and upload function is enabled, the SDK takes screenshots and uploads videos sent by local users based on the type and frequency of the module you set in ContentInspectConfig. After video screenshot and upload, the Agora server sends the callback notification to your app server in HTTPS requests and sends all screenshots to the third-party cloud storage service.

Note: Before calling this method, ensure that you have contacted technical support to activate the video screenshot upload service.

Parameters

enabled

Whether to enable video screenshot and upload:

true: Enables video screenshot and upload.
false: Disables video screenshot and upload.

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.

enableLoopbackRecordingEx

Enables loopback audio capturing.

abstract enableLoopbackRecordingEx(
    connection: RtcConnection,
    enabled: boolean,
    deviceName?: string
  ): number;

Details

If you enable loopback audio capturing, the output of the sound card is mixed into the audio stream sent to the other end.

Attention:

macOS does not support loopback audio capture of the default sound card. If you need to use this function, use a virtual sound card and pass its name to the deviceName parameter. Agora recommends using AgoraALD as the virtual sound card for audio capturing.
This method only supports using one sound card for audio capturing.

Parameters

connection

The connection information. See RtcConnection.

enabled

Sets whether to enable loopback audio capture:

true: Enable loopback audio capturing.
false: (Default) Disable loopback audio capturing.

deviceName

macOS: The device name of the virtual sound card. The default value is set to NULL, which means using AgoraALD for loopback audio capturing.
Windows: The device name of the sound card. The default is set to NULL, which means the SDK uses the sound card of your device for loopback audio capturing.

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.

enableDualStreamModeEx

Enables or disables dual-stream mode on the sender side.

abstract enableDualStreamModeEx(
    enabled: boolean,
    streamConfig: SimulcastStreamConfig,
    connection: RtcConnection
  ): number;

Details

You can call this method to enable or disable the dual-stream mode on the publisher side. Dual streams are a pairing of a high-quality video stream and a low-quality video stream:

High-quality video stream: High bitrate, high resolution.
Low-quality video stream: Low bitrate, low resolution.

After you enable dual-stream mode, you can call setRemoteVideoStreamType to choose to receive either the high-quality video stream or the low-quality video stream on the subscriber side.

Note: This method is applicable to all types of streams from the sender, including but not limited to video streams collected from cameras, screen sharing streams, and custom-collected video streams.

Parameters

enabled

Whether to enable dual-stream mode:

true: Enable dual-stream mode.
false: (Default) Disable dual-stream mode.

streamConfig

The configuration of the low-quality video stream. See SimulcastStreamConfig.

connection

The connection information. See RtcConnection.

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.

getConnectionStateEx

Gets the current connection state of the SDK.

abstract getConnectionStateEx(connection: RtcConnection): ConnectionStateType;

Details

You can call this method either before or after joining a channel.

Parameters

connection: The connection information. See RtcConnection.

Returns

The current connection state. See ConnectionStateType.

joinChannelEx

Joins a channel with the connection ID.

abstract joinChannelEx(
    token: string,
    connection: RtcConnection,
    options: ChannelMediaOptions
  ): number;

Details

You can call this method multiple times to join more than one channel.

Attention:

If you are already in a channel, you cannot rejoin it with the same user ID.
If you want to join the same channel from different devices, ensure that the user IDs are different for all devices.
Ensure that the app ID you use to generate the token is the same as the app ID used when creating the IRtcEngine instance.

Parameters

token: The token generated on your server for authentication. See .
Note: 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.

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: Failes to initialize the IRtcEngine object. You need to reinitialize the IRtcEngine object.
- -7: The IRtcEngine object has not been initialized. You need to initialize the IRtcEngine object before calling this method.
- -8: The internal state of the IRtcEngine object is wrong. The typical cause is that you call this method to join the channel without calling startEchoTest to stop the test after calling stopEchoTest to start a call loop 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 in the channel. Agora recommends that you use the onConnectionStateChanged callback to determine whether the user exists in the channel. Do not call this method to join the channel unless you receive the ConnectionStateDisconnected(1) state.
- -102: The channel name is invalid. You need to pass in a valid channelname 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

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

abstract joinChannelWithUserAccountEx(
    token: string,
    channelId: string,
    userAccount: string,
    options: ChannelMediaOptions
  ): number;

Details

This method allows a user to join the channel with the user account. 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 callback, if the user is in the COMMUNICATION profile, and the onUserInfoUpdated callback if the user is a host in the LIVE_BROADCASTING profile.

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 billing calculation. To stop subscribing to a specified stream or all remote streams, call the corresponding mute methods.

Attention: 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 ID of the user is set to the same parameter type.

Parameters

token

The token generated on your server for authentication. See .

Note: 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:

All lowercase English letters: a to z.
All uppercase English letters: A to Z.
All numeric characters: 0 to 9.
Space
"!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", "{", "}", "|", "~", ","

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

options

The channel media options. See ChannelMediaOptions.

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.

leaveChannelEx

Sets channel options and leaves the channel.

abstract leaveChannelEx(
    connection: RtcConnection,
    options?: LeaveChannelOptions
  ): number;

Details

This method lets the user leave the channel, for example, by hanging up or exiting the call.

After calling joinChannelEx to join the channel, this method must be called to end the call before starting the next call.

This method can be called whether or not a call is currently in progress. This method releases all resources related to the session.

This method call is asynchronous. When this method returns, it does not necessarily mean that the user has left the channel. After you leave the channel, the SDK triggers the onLeaveChannel callback.

After actually leaving the channel, the local user triggers the onLeaveChannel callback; after the user in the communication scenario and the host in the live streaming scenario leave the channel, the remote user triggers the onUserOffline callback.

Attention:

If you call release immediately after calling this method, the SDK does not trigger the onLeaveChannel callback.
If you want to leave the channels that you joined by calling joinChannel and joinChannelEx, call the leaveChannel method.

Parameters

connection: The connection information. See RtcConnection.
options: The options for leaving the channel. See LeaveChannelOptions.

Note: This parameter only supports the stopMicrophoneRecording member in the LeaveChannelOptions settings; setting other members does not take effect.

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.

setDualStreamModeEx

Sets the dual-stream mode on the sender side.

abstract setDualStreamModeEx(
    mode: SimulcastStreamMode,
    streamConfig: SimulcastStreamConfig,
    connection: RtcConnection
  ): number;

Details

The SDK enables the low-quality video stream auto mode on the sender by default, which is equivalent to calling this method and setting the mode to AutoSimulcastStream. If you want to modify this behavior, you can call this method and modify the mode to DisableSimulcastStream (never send low-quality video streams) or EnableSimulcastStream (always send low-quality video streams).

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

When calling this method and setting mode to DisableSimulcastStream, it has the same effect as enableDualStreamModeEx(false).
When calling this method and setting mode to EnableSimulcastStream, 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 SimulcastStreamMode.
streamConfig: The configuration of the low-quality video stream. See SimulcastStreamConfig.
connection: The connection information. See RtcConnection.

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.

setRemoteVideoStreamTypeEx

Sets the stream type of the remote video.

abstract setRemoteVideoStreamTypeEx(
    uid: number,
    streamType: VideoStreamType,
    connection: RtcConnection
  ): number;

Details

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

By default, users receive the high-quality video stream. Call this method if you want to switch to the low-quality 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-quality 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-quality video stream.

The SDK enables the low-quality video stream auto mode on the sender by default (not actively sending low-quality video streams). The host at the receiving end can call this method to initiate a low-quality video stream stream request on the receiving end, and the sender automatically switches to the low-quality video stream mode after receiving the request.

Parameters

uid: The user ID.
streamType: The video stream type: VideoStreamType.
connection: The connection information. See RtcConnection.

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.

setRemoteVoicePositionEx

abstract setRemoteVoicePositionEx(
    uid: number,
    pan: number,
    gain: number,
    connection: RtcConnection
  ): number;

Details

This method sets the voice position and volume of a remote user.

When the local user calls this method to set the voice position of a remote user, the voice difference between the left and right channels allows the local user to track the real-time position of the remote user, creating a sense of space. This method applies to massive multiplayer online games, such as Battle Royale games.

Attention:

For the best voice positioning, Agora recommends using a wired headset.
Call this method after joining a channel.

setupRemoteVideoEx

Initializes the video view of a remote user.

abstract setupRemoteVideoEx(
    canvas: VideoCanvas,
    connection: RtcConnection
  ): number;

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

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

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.

setVideoEncoderConfigurationEx

Sets the encoder configuration for the local video.

abstract setVideoEncoderConfigurationEx(
    config: VideoEncoderConfiguration,
    connection: RtcConnection
  ): number;

Details

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

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.

setRemoteVideoSubscriptionOptionsEx

Options for subscribing to remote video streams.

abstract setRemoteVideoSubscriptionOptionsEx(
    uid: number,
    options: VideoSubscriptionOptions,
    connection: RtcConnection
  ): number;

Details

When a remote user has enabled dual-stream mode, you can call this method to choose the option for subscribing to the video streams sent by the remote user.

Parameters

uid: The user ID of the remote user.
options: The video subscription options. See VideoSubscriptionOptions.
connection: The connection information. See RtcConnection.

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.

sendStreamMessageEx

Sends data stream messages.

abstract sendStreamMessageEx(streamId: number, data: Uint8Array, length: number, connection: RtcConnection): number;

Details

After calling createDataStreamEx, you can call this method to send data stream messages to all users in the channel.

The SDK has the following restrictions on this method:

Up to 60 packets can be sent per second in a channel with each packet having a maximum size of 1 KB.
Each client can send up to 30 KB of data per second.
Each user can have up to five data streams simultaneously.

A successful method call triggers the onStreamMessage callback on the remote client, from which the remote user gets the stream message. A failed method call triggers the onStreamMessageError callback on the remote client.

Attention:

Ensure that you call createDataStreamEx to create a data channel before calling this method.
This method applies only to the COMMUNICATION profile or to the hosts in the LIVE_BROADCASTING profile. If an audience in the LIVE_BROADCASTING profile calls this method, the audience may be switched to a host.

Parameters

streamId: The data stream ID. You can get the data stream ID by calling createDataStreamEx.
data: The message to be sent.
length: The length of the data.
connection: The connection information. See RtcConnection.

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.

startRtmpStreamWithoutTranscodingEx

Starts pushing media streams to a CDN without transcoding.

abstract startRtmpStreamWithoutTranscodingEx(
    url: string,
    connection: RtcConnection
  ): number;

Details

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 is null or the string length is 0.
- -7: The SDK is not initialized before calling this method.
- -19: The Media Push URL is already in use, use another URL instead.

startRtmpStreamWithTranscodingEx

Starts Media Push and sets the transcoding configuration.

abstract startRtmpStreamWithTranscodingEx(
    url: string,
    transcoding: LiveTranscoding,
    connection: RtcConnection
  ): number;

Details

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

You can call this method to push a live audio-and-video stream to the specified CDN address and set the transcoding configuration. 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:

Ensure that you enable the Media Push service before using this function.
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 stopRtmpStreamEx 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.
transcoding: The transcoding configuration for Media Push. See LiveTranscoding.
connection: The connection information. See RtcConnection.

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.

stopRtmpStreamEx

Stops pushing media streams to a CDN.

abstract stopRtmpStreamEx(url: string, connection: RtcConnection): number;

Details

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

You can call this method to stop the live stream on the specified CDN address. This method can stop pushing media streams to only one CDN address at a time, so if you need to stop pushing 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.

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.

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.

takeSnapshotEx

Takes a snapshot of a video stream.

abstract takeSnapshotEx(
    connection: RtcConnection,
    uid: number,
    filePath: string
  ): number;

Details

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 for that snapshot.

Attention:

Call this method after the joinChannelEx method.
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.

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.

filePath

The local path (including filename extensions) of the snapshot. For example:

Windows: C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\Agora\<process_name>\example.jpg
macOS: ～/Library/Logs/example.jpg

Ensure that the path you specify exists and is writable.

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.

updateRtmpTranscodingEx

Updates the transcoding configuration.

abstract updateRtmpTranscodingEx(
    transcoding: LiveTranscoding,
    connection: RtcConnection
  ): number;

Details

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

After you start pushing media streams to CDN with transcoding, you can dynamically update the transcoding configuration according to the scenario. The SDK triggers the onTranscodingUpdated callback after the transcoding configuration is updated.

Parameters

transcoding: The transcoding configuration for Media Push. See LiveTranscoding.
connection: The connection information. See RtcConnection.

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.

startChannelMediaRelayEx

Starts relaying media streams across channels. This method can be used to implement scenarios such as co-host across channels.

abstract startChannelMediaRelayEx(
    configuration: ChannelMediaRelayConfiguration,
    connection: RtcConnection
  ): number;

Details

Deprecated:: This method is deprecated. Use startOrUpdateChannelMediaRelayEx instead.

After a successful method call, the SDK triggers the onChannelMediaRelayStateChanged and onChannelMediaRelayEvent callbacks, and these callbacks return the state and events of the media stream relay.

If the onChannelMediaRelayStateChanged callback returns RelayStateRunning (2) and RelayOk (0), and the onChannelMediaRelayEvent callback returns RelayEventPacketSentToDestChannel (4), it means that the SDK starts relaying media streams between the source channel and the target channel.
If the onChannelMediaRelayStateChanged callback returns RelayStateFailure (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.
After a successful method call, if you want to call this method again, ensure that you call the stopChannelMediaRelayEx method to quit the current relay.
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

configuration: 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.
- -7: The method call was rejected. It may be because the SDK has not been initialized successfully, or the user role is not a host.
- -8: Internal state error. Probably because the user is not a broadcaster.

stopChannelMediaRelayEx

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

abstract stopChannelMediaRelayEx(connection: RtcConnection): number;

Details

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

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

Parameters

connection: The connection information. See RtcConnection.

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.

updateChannelMediaOptionsEx

Updates the channel media options after joining the channel.

abstract updateChannelMediaOptionsEx(
    options: ChannelMediaOptions,
    connection: RtcConnection
  ): number;

Parameters

options: The channel media options. See ChannelMediaOptions.
connection: The connection information. See RtcConnection.

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.
- -2: The value of a member in the ChannelMediaOptions structure is invalid. For example, the token or the user ID is invalid. You need to fill in a valid parameter.
- -7: The IRtcEngine object has not been initialized. You need to initialize the IRtcEngine object before calling this method.
- -8: The internal state of the IRtcEngine object is wrong. The possible reason is that the user is not in the channel. Agora recommends that you use the onConnectionStateChanged callback to determine whether the user exists in the channel. If you receive the ConnectionStateDisconnected (1) or ConnectionStateFailed (5) state, the user is not in the channel. You need to call joinChannel to join a channel before calling this method.

updateChannelMediaRelayEx

Updates the channels for media stream relay.

abstract updateChannelMediaRelayEx(
    configuration: ChannelMediaRelayConfiguration,
    connection: RtcConnection
  ): number;

Details

Deprecated:: This method is deprecated. Use startOrUpdateChannelMediaRelayEx instead.

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

After a successful method call, the SDK triggers the onChannelMediaRelayEvent callback with the RelayEventPacketUpdateDestChannel (7) state code.

Attention: Call the method after successfully calling the startChannelMediaRelayEx method and receiving onChannelMediaRelayStateChanged(RelayStateRunning, RelayOk); otherwise, the method call fails.

Parameters

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

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.
