addVideoWatermark

Adds a watermark image to the local video.

Future<void> addVideoWatermark(
    {required String watermarkUrl, required WatermarkOptions options});

Details

This method adds a PNG watermark image to the local video in the live streaming. Once the watermark image is added, all the audience in the channel (CDN audience included), and the capturing device can see and capture it. The Agora SDK supports adding only one watermark image onto a local video or CDN live stream. The newly added watermark image replaces the previous one.

The watermark coordinates are dependent on the settings in the setVideoEncoderConfiguration 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 setVideoEncoderConfiguration method; otherwise, the watermark image will be cropped.

Attention:

Ensure that calling this method after enableVideo.
If you only want to add a watermark to the media push, you can call this method or the startRtmpStreamWithTranscoding method.
This method supports adding a watermark image in the PNG file format only. Supported pixel formats of the PNG image are RGBA, RGB, Palette, Gray, and Alpha_gray.
If the dimensions of the PNG image differ from your settings in this method, the image will be cropped or zoomed to conform to your settings.
If you have enabled the mirror mode for the local video, the watermark on the local video is also mirrored. To avoid mirroring the watermark, Agora recommends that you do not use the mirror and watermark functions for the local video at the same time. You can implement the watermark function in your application layer.

Parameters

watermarkUrl: The local file path of the watermark image to be added. This method supports adding a watermark image from the local absolute or relative file path.
options: The options of the watermark image to be added. See WatermarkOptions.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

If you call enableLocalVideo(false) to disable local video capture within the channel, it also simultaneously stops publishing the video stream within the channel. If you want to restart video catpure, you can call enableLocalVideo(true) and then call updateChannelMediaOptions to set the options parameter to publish the locally captured video stream in the channel.

After the local video capturer is successfully disabled or re-enabled, the SDK triggers the onRemoteVideoStateChanged callback on the remote client.

Attention:

You can call this method either before or after joining a channel.
This method enables the internal engine and is valid after leaving the channel.

Parameters

enabled

Whether to enable the local video capture.

true: (Default) Enable the local video capture.
false: Disable the local video capture. Once the local video is disabled, the remote users cannot receive the video stream of the local user, while the local user can still receive the video streams of remote users. When set to false, this method does not require a local camera.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

enableLoopbackRecording

Enables loopback audio capturing.

Future<void> enableLoopbackRecording(
    {required bool enabled, String? deviceName});

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:

This method applies to the macOS and Windows only.
You can call this method either before or after joining a channel.
If you call the disableAudio method to disable the audio module, audio capturing will be disabled as well. If you need to enable audio capturing, call the enableAudio method to enable the audio module and then call the enableLoopbackRecording method.

Parameters

enabled

Sets whether to enable loopback audio capturing.

true: Enable sound card capturing. You can find the name of the virtual sound card in your system'sAudio Devices > Output.
false: Disable sound card capturing. The name of the virtual sound card will not be shown in your system's Audio Devices > Output.

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.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

enableMultiCamera

Enables or disables multi-camera capture.

Future<void> enableMultiCamera(
      {required bool enabled, required CameraCapturerConfiguration config});

Details

In scenarios where there are existing cameras to capture video, Agora recommends that you use the following steps to capture and publish video with multiple cameras:

Call this method to enable multi-channel camera capture.
Call startPreview to start the local video preview.
Call startCameraCapture, and set sourceType to start video capture with the second camera.
Call joinChannelEx, and set publishSecondaryCameraTrack to true to publish the video stream captured by the second camera in the channel.

If you want to disable multi-channel camera capture, use the following steps:

Call stopCameraCapture.
Call this method with enabled set to false.

Note:

You can call this method before and after startPreview to enable multi-camera capture:

If it is enabled before startPreview, the local video preview shows the image captured by the two cameras at the same time.
If it is enabled after startPreview, the SDK stops the current camera capture first, and then enables the primary camera and the second camera. The local video preview appears black for a short time, and then automatically returns to normal.

This method applies to iOS only.

When using this function, ensure that the system version is 13.0 or later.

The minimum iOS device types that support multi-camera capture are as follows:

iPhone XR
iPhone XS
iPhone XS Max
iPad Pro 3rd generation and later

Parameters

enabled

Whether to enable multi-camera video capture mode:

true: Enable multi-camera capture mode; the SDK uses multiple cameras to capture video.
false: Disable multi-camera capture mode; the SDK uses a single camera to capture video.

This method supports setting the media options when joining a channel, such as whether to publish audio and video streams within the channel. or whether to automatically subscribe to the audio and video streams of all remote users when joining a channel. By default, the user subscribes to the audio and video streams of all the other users in the channel, giving rise to usage and billings. To stop subscribing to other streams, set the options parameter or call the corresponding mute methods.

Call timing

Call this method after initialize.

Restrictions

This method only supports users joining one channel at a time.
Users with different App IDs cannot call each other.
Before joining a channel, ensure that the App ID you use to generate a token is the same as that you pass in the initialize method; otherwise, you may fail to join the channel with the token.

Related callbacks

A successful call of this method triggers the following callbacks:

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

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

Parameters

token

The token generated on your server for authentication. See .

Note:

(Recommended) If your project has enabled the security mode (using APP ID and Token for authentication), this parameter is required.
If you have only enabled the testing mode (using APP ID for authentication), this parameter is optional. You will automatically exit the channel 24 hours after successfully joining in.
If you need to join different channels at the same time or switch between channels, Agora recommends using a wildcard token so that you don't need to apply for a new token every time joining a channel. See Secure authentication with tokens.

channelId

The channel name. This parameter signifies the channel in which users engage in real-time audio and video interaction. Under the premise of the same App ID, users who fill in the same channel ID enter the same channel for audio and video interaction. The string length must be less than 64 bytes. Supported characters (89 characters in total):

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

uid

The user ID. This parameter is used to identify the user in the channel for real-time audio and video interaction. You need to set and manage user IDs yourself, and ensure that each user ID in the same channel is unique. This parameter is a 32-bit unsigned integer. The value range is 1 to 2³²-1. If the user ID is not assigned (or set to 0), the SDK assigns a random user ID and onJoinChannelSuccess returns it in the callback. Your application must record and maintain the returned user ID, because the SDK does not do so.

options

The channel media options. See ChannelMediaOptions.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

< 0: Failure.
- -2: The parameter is invalid. For example, the token is invalid, the uid parameter is not set to an integer, or the value of a member in ChannelMediaOptions is invalid. You need to pass in a valid parameter and join the channel again.
- -3: Fails to initialize the RtcEngine object. You need to reinitialize the RtcEngine object.
- -7: The RtcEngine object has not been initialized. You need to initialize the RtcEngine object before calling this method.
- -8: The internal state of the RtcEngine object is wrong. The typical cause is that after calling startEchoTest to start a call loop test, you call this method to join the channel without calling stopEchoTest to stop the test. You need to call stopEchoTest before calling this method.
- -17: The request to join the channel is rejected. The typical cause is that the user is already in the channel. Agora recommends that you use the onConnectionStateChanged callback to see whether the user is in the channel. Do not call this method to join the channel unless you receive the connectionStateDisconnected(1) state.
- -102: The channel name is invalid. You need to pass in a valid channel name in channelId to rejoin the channel.
- -121: The user ID is invalid. You need to pass in a valid user ID in uid to rejoin the channel.

joinChannelWithUserAccount

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

Future<void> joinChannelWithUserAccount(
    {required String token,
    required String channelId,
    required String userAccount,
    ChannelMediaOptions? options});

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

Once a user joins the channel, the user subscribes to the audio and video streams of all the other users in the channel by default, giving rise to usage and billings. 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 UID, then ensure all the other users use the UID too. The same applies to the user account. If a user joins the channel with the Agora Web SDK, ensure that the ID of the user is set to the same parameter type.

Call timing

Call this method after initialize.

Restrictions

This method only supports users joining one channel at a time.
Users with different App IDs cannot call each other.
Before joining a channel, ensure that the App ID you use to generate a token is the same as that you pass in the initialize method; otherwise, you may fail to join the channel with the token.

Related callbacks

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

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

leaveChannel

Sets channel options and leaves the channel.

Future<void> leaveChannel({LeaveChannelOptions? options});

After calling this method, the SDK terminates the audio and video interaction, leaves the current channel, and releases all resources related to the session.

After joining the channel, you must call this method to end the call; otherwise, the next call cannot be started. If you have called joinChannelEx to join multiple channels, calling this method will leave all the channels you joined.

Attention: This method call is asynchronous. When this method returns, it does not necessarily mean that the user has left the channel.

Call timing

Call this method after joining a channel.

Restrictions

If you call release immediately after calling this method, the SDK does not trigger the onLeaveChannel callback.

Related callbacks

A successful call of this method triggers the following callbacks:

The local client: The onLeaveChannel callback will be triggered.
The remote client: The onUserOffline callback will be triggered after the remote host leaves the channel.

Parameters

options: The options for leaving the channel. See LeaveChannelOptions.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

Call timing

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

Restrictions

If you need to play an online audio effect file, Agora recommends that you cache the online audio effect file to your local device, call preloadEffect to preload the file into memory, and then call this method to play the audio effect. Otherwise, you might encounter playback failures or no sound during playback due to loading timeouts or failures.

Related callbacks

After the playback of an audio effect file completes, the SDK triggers the onAudioEffectFinished callback.

Parameters

soundId

The audio effect ID. The ID of each audio effect file is unique.

Attention: If you have preloaded an audio effect into memory by calling preloadEffect, ensure that the value of this parameter is the same as that of soundId in preloadEffect.

filePath

The file path. The SDK supports URLs and absolute path of local files. The absolute path needs to be accurate to the file name and extension. Supported audio formats include MP3, AAC, M4A, MP4, WAV, and 3GP.

Attention: If you have preloaded an audio effect into memory by calling preloadEffect, ensure that the value of this parameter is the same as that of filePath in preloadEffect.

loopCount

-1.0: The audio effect is heard on the left of the user.
0.0: The audio effect is heard in front of the user.
1.0: The audio effect is heard on the right of the user.

gain

The volume of the audio effect. The value range is 0.0 to 100.0. The default value is 100.0, which means the original volume. The smaller the value, the lower the volume.

publish

Whether to publish the audio effect to the remote users:

true: Publish the audio effect to the remote users. Both the local user and remote users can hear the audio effect.
false: Do not publish the audio effect to the remote users. Only the local user can hear the audio effect.

startPos

The playback position (ms) of the audio effect file.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

< 0: Failure.

preloadChannel

Preloads a channel with token, channelId, and uid.

Future<void> preloadChannel(
      {required String token, required String channelId, required int uid});

When audience members need to switch between different channels frequently, calling the method can help shortening the time of joining a channel, thus reducing the time it takes for audience members to hear and see the host.

If you join a preloaded channel, leave it and want to rejoin the same channel, you do not need to call this method unless the token for preloading the channel expires.

Note: Failing to preload a channel does not mean that you can't join a channel, nor will it increase the time of joining a channel.

Call timing

To improve the user experience of preloading channels, Agora recommends that before joining the channel, calling this method as early as possible once confirming the channel name and user information.

Restrictions

When calling this method, ensure you set the user role as audience and do not set the audio scenario as audioScenarioChorus, otherwise, this method does not take effect.
You also need to make sure that the channel name, user ID and token passed in for preloading are the same as the values passed in when joinning the channel, otherwise, this method does not take effect.
One RtcEngine instance supports preloading 20 channels at most. When exceeding this limit, the latest 20 preloaded channels take effect.

Parameters

token

The token generated on your server for authentication. See .

When the token for preloading channels expires, you can update the token based on the number of channels you preload.

When preloading one channel, calling this method to pass in the new token.
When preloading more than one channels:
- If you use a wildcard token for all preloaded channels, call updatePreloadChannelToken to update the token.
  Note: When generating a wildcard token, ensure the user ID is not set as 0. See Secure authentication with tokens.
- If you use different tokens to preload different channels, call this method to pass in your user ID, channel name and the new token.

channelId

The channel name that you want to preload. This parameter signifies the channel in which users engage in real-time audio and video interaction. Under the premise of the same App ID, users who fill in the same channel ID enter the same channel for audio and video interaction. The string length must be less than 64 bytes. Supported characters (89 characters in total):

uid

The user ID. This parameter is used to identify the user in the channel for real-time audio and video interaction. You need to set and manage user IDs yourself, and ensure that each user ID in the same channel is unique. This parameter is a 32-bit unsigned integer. The value range is 1 to 2³²-1. If the user ID is not assigned (or set to 0), the SDK assigns a random user ID and onJoinChannelSuccess returns it in the callback. Your application must record and maintain the returned user ID, because the SDK does not do so.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

< 0: Failure.
- -7: The RtcEngine object has not been initialized. You need to initialize the RtcEngine object before calling this method.
- -102: The channel name is invalid. You need to pass in a valid channel name and join the channel again.

preloadChannelWithUserAccount

Preloads a channel with token, channelId, and userAccount.

Future<void> preloadChannelWithUserAccount(
      {required String token,
      required String channelId,
      required String userAccount});

When audience members need to switch between different channels frequently, calling the method can help shortening the time of joining a channel, thus reducing the time it takes for audience members to hear and see the host.

If you join a preloaded channel, leave it and want to rejoin the same channel, you do not need to call this method unless the token for preloading the channel expires.

Note: Failing to preload a channel does not mean that you can't join a channel, nor will it increase the time of joining a channel.

Call timing

To improve the user experience of preloading channels, Agora recommends that before joining the channel, calling this method as early as possible once confirming the channel name and user information.

Restrictions

When calling this method, ensure you set the user role as audience and do not set the audio scenario as audioScenarioChorus, otherwise, this method does not take effect.
You also need to make sure that the User Account, channel ID and token passed in for preloading are the same as the values passed in when joining the channel, otherwise, this method does not take effect.
One RtcEngine instance supports preloading 20 channels at most. When exceeding this limit, the latest 20 preloaded channels take effect.

Parameters

token

The token generated on your server for authentication. See .

When the token for preloading channels expires, you can update the token based on the number of channels you preload.

When preloading one channel, calling this method to pass in the new token.
When preloading more than one channels:
- If you use a wildcard token for all preloaded channels, call updatePreloadChannelToken to update the token.
  Note: When generating a wildcard token, ensure the user ID is not set as 0. See Secure authentication with tokens.
- If you use different tokens to preload different channels, call this method to pass in your user ID, channel name and the new token.

channelId

The channel name that you want to preload. This parameter signifies the channel in which users engage in real-time audio and video interaction. Under the premise of the same App ID, users who fill in the same channel ID enter the same channel for audio and video interaction. The string length must be less than 64 bytes. Supported characters (89 characters in total):

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

userAccount

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

The 26 lowercase English letters: a to z.
The 26 uppercase English letters: A to Z.
All numeric characters: 0 to 9.
Space
"!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", "{", "}", "|", "~", ","

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

< 0: Failure.
- -2: The parameter is invalid. For example, the User Account is empty. You need to pass in a valid parameter and join the channel again.
- -7: The RtcEngine object has not been initialized. You need to initialize the RtcEngine object before calling this method.
- -102: The channel name is invalid. You need to pass in a valid channel name and join the channel again.

preloadEffect

Preloads a specified audio effect file into the memory.

Future<void> preloadEffect(
    {required int soundId, required String filePath, int startPos = 0});

Ensure the size of all preloaded files does not exceed the limit.

For the audio file formats supported by this method, see What formats of audio files does the Agora RTC SDK support.

Call timing

Agora recommends that you call this method before joining a channel.

Restrictions

None.

Parameters

filePath

File path:

Android: The file path, which needs to be accurate to the file name and suffix. Agora supports URL addresses, absolute paths, or file paths that start with /assets/. You might encounter permission issues if you use an absolute path to access a local file, so Agora recommends using a URI address instead. For example: content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/audio%3A14441
Windows: The absolute path or URL address (including the suffixes of the filename) of the audio effect file. For example: C:\music\audio.mp4.
iOS or macOS: The absolute path or URL address (including the suffixes of the filename) of the audio effect file. For example: /var/mobile/Containers/Data/audio.mp4.

startPos

The playback position (ms) of the audio effect file.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

queryCameraFocalLengthCapability

Queries the focal length capability supported by the camera.

Future<List<FocalLengthInfo>> queryCameraFocalLengthCapability();

Details

If you want to enable the wide-angle or ultra-wide-angle mode for camera capture, it is recommended to start by calling this method to check whether the device supports the required focal length capability. Then, adjust the camera's focal length configuration based on the query result by calling setCameraCapturerConfiguration, ensuring the best camera capture performance.

If the returned score is low (for example, below 60), you need to lower the video resolution to avoid affecting the video experience. The minimum device score required for different business scenarios is varied. For specific score recommendations, please technical support.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, it returns a value in the range of [0,100], indicating the current device's score. The larger the value, the stronger the device capability. Most devices are rated between 60 and 100. When the method call fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown; and you need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

< 0: Failure.

queryScreenCaptureCapability

Queries the highest frame rate supported by the device during screen sharing.

Future<int> queryScreenCaptureCapability();

Details

Applicable scenarios

This method is for Android and iOS only.

To ensure optimal screen sharing performance, particularly in enabling high frame rates like 60 fps, Agora recommends you to query the device's maximum supported frame rate using this method beforehand. This way, if the device cannot support such a high frame rate, you can adjust the screen sharing stream accordingly to avoid any negative impact on the sharing quality. If the device does not support high frame rate, you can reduce the frame rate of the screen sharing stream appropriately when sharing the screen to ensure that the sharing effect meets your expectation.

Exceptions

The highest frame rate supported by the device, if the method is called successfully. See ScreenCaptureFramerateCapability.
< 0: Failure.

rate

Allows a user to rate a call after the call ends.

Future<void> rate(
    {required String callId,

The data processing order of different extensions in the SDK is determined by the order in which the extensions are registered. That is, the extension that is registered first will process the data first.

Parameters

provider: The name of the extension provider.
extension: The name of the extension.
type: Source type of the extension. See MediaSourceType.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

registerEventHandler

Adds event handlers

void registerEventHandler(RtcEngineEventHandler eventHandler);

Details

The SDK uses the RtcEngineEventHandler class to send callbacks to the app. The app inherits the methods of this class to receive these callbacks. All methods in this class have default (empty) implementations. Therefore, apps only need to inherits callbacks according to the scenarios. In the callbacks, avoid time-consuming tasks or calling APIs that can block the thread, such as the sendStreamMessage method. Otherwise, the SDK may not work properly.

Parameters

eventHandler: Callback events to be added. See RtcEngineEventHandler.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

registerLocalUserAccount

Registers a user account.

Future<void> registerLocalUserAccount(
    {required String appId, required String userAccount});

Once registered, the user account can be used to identify the local user when the user joins the channel. After the registration is successful, the user account can identify the identity of the local user, and the user can use it to join the channel.

This method is optional. If you want to join a channel using a user account, you can choose one of the following methods:

Call the registerLocalUserAccount method to register a user account, and then call the joinChannelWithUserAccount method to join a channel, which can shorten the time it takes to enter the channel.
Call the joinChannelWithUserAccount method to join a channel.

Attention:

Ensure that the userAccount 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 UID, then ensure all the other users use the UID too. The same applies to the user account. If a user joins the channel with the Agora Web SDK, ensure that the ID of the user is set to the same parameter type.

Restrictions

None.

Related callbacks

After successfully calling this method, the onLocalUserRegistered callback will be triggered on the local client to report the local user's UID and user account.

Parameters

appId

The App ID of your project on Agora Console.

userAccount

The user account. This parameter is used to identify the user in the channel for real-time audio and video engagement.

Attention: Call this method before joinChannel.

Parameters

observer: The metadata observer. See MetadataObserver.
type: The metadata type. The SDK currently only supports videoMetadata.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

< 0: Failure.

release

Releases the RtcEngine instance.

Future<void> release({bool sync = false});

Details

This method releases all resources used by the Agora SDK. Use this method for apps in which users occasionally make voice or video calls. When users do not make calls, you can free up resources for other operations.

After a successful method call, you can no longer use any method or callback in the SDK anymore. If you want to use the real-time communication functions again, you must call createAgoraRtcEngine and initialize to create a new RtcEngine instance.

Attention:

This method can be called synchronously. You need to wait for the resource of RtcEngine to be released before performing other operations (for example, create a new RtcEngine object). Therefore, Agora recommends calling this method in the child thread to avoid blocking the main thread.
Besides, Agora does not recommend you calling release in any callback of the SDK. Otherwise, the SDK cannot release the resources until the callbacks return results, which may result in a deadlock.

Parameters

sync

Whether the method is called synchronously:

true: Synchronous call.
false: Asynchronous call. Currently this method only supports synchronous calls. Do not set this parameter to this value.

unregisterEventHandler

setDefaultAudioRouteToSpeakerphone

Sets the default audio playback route.

Future<void> setDefaultAudioRouteToSpeakerphone(bool defaultToSpeaker);

Attention: This method is for Android and iOS only.

Most mobile phones have two audio routes: an earpiece at the top, and a speakerphone at the bottom. The earpiece plays at a lower volume, and the speakerphone at a higher volume. When setting the default audio route, you determine whether audio playback comes through the earpiece or speakerphone when no external audio device is connected.

In different scenarios, the default audio routing of the system is also different. See the following:

Voice call: Earpiece.
Audio broadcast: Speakerphone.
Video call: Speakerphone.
Video broadcast: Speakerphone.

You can call this method to change the default audio route.

Note:

After calling this method to set the default audio route, the actual audio route of the system will change with the connection of external audio devices (wired headphones or Bluetooth headphones). See .

Call timing

Call this method before joining a channel. If you need to change the audio route after joining a channel, call setEnableSpeakerphone.

Restrictions

None.

Related callbacks

After successfully calling this method, the SDK triggers the onAudioRoutingChanged callback to report the current audio route.

Parameters

defaultToSpeaker

Whether to set the speakerphone as the default audio route:

true: Set the speakerphone as the default audio route.
false: Set the earpiece as the default audio route.

When you set the publishMicrophoneTrack or publishCustomAudioTrack in the DirectCdnStreamingMediaOptions as true to capture audios, you can call this method to set the audio profile.

Parameters

profile: The audio profile, including the sampling rate, bitrate, encoding mode, and the number of channels. See AudioProfileType.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

setDirectCdnStreamingVideoConfiguration

Sets the video profile of the media streams directly pushed to the CDN by the host.

Future<void> setDirectCdnStreamingVideoConfiguration(
      VideoEncoderConfiguration config);

Details

This method only affects video streams captured by cameras or screens, or from custom video capture sources. That is, when you set publishCameraTrack or publishCustomVideoTrack in DirectCdnStreamingMediaOptions as true to capture videos, you can call this method to set the video profiles.

If your local camera does not support the video resolution you set,the SDK automatically adjusts the video resolution to a value that is closest to your settings for capture, encoding or streaming, with the same aspect ratio as the resolution you set. You can get the actual resolution of the video streams through the onDirectCdnStreamingStats callback.

Parameters

config: Video profile. See VideoEncoderConfiguration.
Note: During CDN live streaming, Agora only supports setting OrientationMode as orientationModeFixedLandscape or orientationModeFixedPortrait.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

setDualStreamMode

Sets dual-stream mode configuration on the sender side.

Future<void> setDualStreamMode(
      {required SimulcastStreamMode mode, SimulcastStreamConfig? streamConfig});

Details

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

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

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

When calling this method and setting mode to disableSimulcastStream, it has the same effect as calling enableDualStreamMode and setting enabled to false.
When calling this method and setting mode to enableSimulcastStream, it has the same effect as calling enableDualStreamMode and setting enabled to 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.
Note: When setting mode to disableSimulcastStream, setting streamConfig will not take effect.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

setExternalMediaProjection

Configures MediaProjection outside of the SDK to capture screen video streams.

Future<void> setExternalMediaProjection(int mediaProjection);

Attention: This method is for Android only.

After successfully calling this method, the external MediaProjection you set will replace the MediaProjection requested by the SDK to capture the screen video stream.

When the screen sharing is stopped or RtcEngine is destroyed, the SDK will automatically release the MediaProjection.

Applicable scenarios

If you are able to apply for MediaProjection, you can directly use your MediaProjection instead of the one applied for by the SDK. The following lists two applicable scenarios:

On custom system devices, it can avoid system pop-ups (such as requiring user permission to capture the screen) and directly start capturing the screen video stream.
In a screen sharing process that involves one or more sub-processes, it can help avoid errors that might occur when creating objects within these sub-processes, which could otherwise lead to failures in screen capturing.

Call timing

Call this method after startScreenCapture.

Restrictions

Before calling this method, you must first apply for MediaProjection permission.

Parameters

mediaProjection: An object used to capture screen video streams.

Exceptions

setRemoteDefaultVideoStreamType

Sets the default video stream type to subscribe to.

Future<void> setRemoteDefaultVideoStreamType(VideoStreamType streamType);

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

The SDK enables low-quality video stream adaptive mode (autoSimulcastStream) on the sender side by default, meaning only the high-quality video stream is transmitted. Only the receiver with the role of the host can call this method to initiate a low-quality video stream request. Once the sender receives the request, it starts automatically sending the low-quality video stream. At this point, all users in the channel can call this method to switch to low-quality video stream subscription mode.
If the sender calls setDualStreamMode and sets mode to disableSimulcastStream (never send low-quality video stream), then calling this method will have no effect.
If the sender calls setDualStreamMode and sets mode to enableSimulcastStream (always send low-quality video stream), both the host and audience receivers can call this method to switch to low-quality video stream subscription mode.

The SDK will dynamically adjust the size of the corresponding video stream based on the size of the video window to save bandwidth and computing resources. The default aspect ratio of the low-quality video stream is the same as that of the high-quality video stream. According to the current aspect ratio of the high-quality video stream, the system will automatically allocate the resolution, frame rate, and bitrate of the low-quality video stream.

Call timing

Call this method before joining a channel. The SDK does not support changing the default subscribed video stream type after joining a channel.

Restrictions

If you call both this method and setRemoteVideoStreamType, the setting of setRemoteVideoStreamType takes effect.

Parameters

streamType: The default video-stream type. See VideoStreamType.

      {required int uid, required VideoSubscriptionOptions options});

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. The default subscription behavior of the SDK for remote video streams depends on the type of registered video observer:

If the VideoFrameObserver observer is registered, the default is to subscribe to both raw data and encoded data.
If the VideoEncodedFrameObserver observer is registered, the default is to subscribe only to the encoded data.
If both types of observers are registered, the default behavior follows the last registered video observer. For example, if the last registered observer is the VideoFrameObserver observer, the default is to subscribe to both raw data and encoded data.

If you want to modify the default behavior, or set different subscription options for different uids, you can call this method to set it.

Parameters

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

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

setRemoteVoicePosition

Sets the 2D position (the position on the horizontal plane) of the remote user's voice.

Future<void> setRemoteVoicePosition(
    {required int uid, required double pan, required double gain});

Details

This method sets the 2D position and volume of a remote user, so that the local user can easily hear and identify the remote user's position.

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 this method to work, enable stereo panning for remote users by calling the enableSoundPositionIndication method before joining a channel.
For the best voice positioning, Agora recommends using a wired headset.
Call this method after joining a channel.

Parameters

uid

The user ID of the remote user.

pan

The voice position of the remote user. The value ranges from -1.0 to 1.0:

0.0: (Default) The remote voice comes from the front.
-1.0: The remote voice comes from the left.
1.0: The remote voice comes from the right.

gain

The volume of the remote user. The value ranges from 0.0 to 100.0. The default value is 100.0 (the original volume of the remote user). The smaller the value, the lower the volume.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

setRouteInCommunicationMode

Sets video noise reduction.

Future<void> setVideoDenoiserOptions(
      {required bool enabled,
      required VideoDenoiserOptions options,
      MediaSourceType type = MediaSourceType.primaryCameraSource});

You can call this method to enable the video noise reduction feature and set the options of the video noise reduction effect.

Note: If the noise reduction implemented by this method does not meet your needs, Agora recommends that you call the setBeautyEffectOptions method to enable the beauty and skin smoothing function to achieve better video noise reduction effects. The recommended BeautyOptions settings for intense noise reduction effect are as follows:

lighteningContrastLevellighteningContrastNormal
lighteningLevel: 0.0
smoothnessLevel: 0.5
rednessLevel: 0.0
sharpnessLevel: 0.1

Applicable scenarios

dark environments and low-end video capture devices can cause video images to contain significant noise, which affects video quality. In real-time interactive scenarios, video noise also consumes bitstream resources and reduces encoding efficiency during encoding.

Call timing

Call this method after calling enableVideo.

Restrictions

This method relies on the image enhancement dynamic library libagora_clear_vision_extension.dll. If the dynamic library is deleted, the function cannot be enabled normally.
Video noise reduction has certain requirements for equipment performance. If your device overheats after you enable video noise reduction, Agora recommends modifying the video noise reduction options to a less performance-consuming level or disabling video noise reduction entirely.

Parameters

enabled

Whether to enable video noise reduction:

true: Enable video noise reduction.
false: (Default) Disable video noise reduction.

options

The video noise reduction options. See VideoDenoiserOptions.

type

The type of the media source to which the filter effect is applied. See MediaSourceType.

Attention: In this method, this parameter supports only the following two settings:

Use the default value primaryCameraSource if you use camera to capture local video.
Set this parameter to customVideoSource if you use custom video source.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

setVideoEncoderConfiguration

Sets the video encoder configuration.

Future<void> setVideoEncoderConfiguration(VideoEncoderConfiguration config);

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

Call timing

You can call this method either before or after joining a channel. If the user does not need to reset the video encoding properties after joining the channel, Agora recommends calling this method before enableVideo to reduce the time to render the first video frame.

Restrictions

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

Parameters

config: Video profile. See VideoEncoderConfiguration.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

setupLocalVideo

Initializes the local video view.

Future<void> setupLocalVideo(VideoCanvas canvas);

This method initializes the video view of a local stream on the local device. It only affects the video seen by the local user and does not impact the publishing of the local video. Call this method to bind the local video stream to a video view (view) and to set the rendering and mirror modes of the video view.

The binding remains valid after leaving the channel. To stop rendering or unbind the local video from the view, set view as NULL.

Attention:

In Flutter, you don't need to call this method. Use AgoraVideoView instead to render local and remote views.
To update only the rendering or mirror mode of the local video view during a call, call setLocalRenderMode instead.

Applicable scenarios

After initialization, call this method to set the local video and then join the channel.

In real-time interactive scenarios, if you need to simultaneously view multiple preview frames in the local video preview, and each frame is at a different observation position along the video link, you can repeatedly call this method to set different views and set different observation positions for each view. For example, by setting the video source to the camera and then configuring two views with position setting to positionPostCapturerOrigin and positionPostCapturer, you can simultaneously preview the raw, unprocessed video frame and the video frame that has undergone preprocessing (image enhancement effects, virtual background, watermark) in the local video preview.

Call timing

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

Restrictions

None.

Parameters

canvas: The local video view and settings. See VideoCanvas.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

< 0: Failure.

setupRemoteVideo

Initializes the video view of a remote user.

Future<void> setupRemoteVideo(VideoCanvas canvas);

Details

This method initializes the video view of a remote stream on the local device. It affects only the video view that the local user sees. Call this method to bind the remote video stream to a video view and to set the rendering and mirror modes of the video view.

You need to specify the ID of the remote user in this method. If the remote user ID is unknown to the application, set it after the app receives the onUserJoined callback.

To unbind the remote user from the view, set the view parameter to NULL.

Once the remote user leaves the channel, the SDK unbinds the remote user.

In the scenarios of custom layout for mixed videos on the mobile end, you can call this method and set a separate view for rendering each sub-video stream of the mixed video stream.

Attention:

In Flutter, you don't need to call this method. Use AgoraVideoView instead to render local and remote views.
To update the rendering or mirror mode of the remote video view during a call, use the setRemoteRenderMode method.
When using the recording service, the app does not need to bind a view, as it does not send a video stream. If your app does not recognize the recording service, bind the remote user to the view when the SDK triggers the onFirstRemoteVideoDecoded callback.

Parameters

canvas: The remote video view and settings. See VideoCanvas.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

< 0: Failure.

setVideoScenario

Sets video application scenarios.

Future<void> setVideoScenario(VideoApplicationScenarioType scenarioType);

Details

After successfully calling this method, the SDK will automatically enable the best practice strategies and adjust key performance metrics based on the specified scenario, to optimize the video experience.

Attention: Call this method before joining a channel.

Parameters

scenarioType

The type of video application scenario. See VideoApplicationScenarioType.

applicationScenarioMeeting (1) is suitable for meeting scenarios. The SDK automatically enables the following strategies:

In meeting scenarios where low-quality video streams are required to have a high bitrate, the SDK automatically enables multiple technologies used to deal with network congestions, to enhance the performance of the low-quality streams and to ensure the smooth reception by subscribers.
The SDK monitors the number of subscribers to the high-quality video stream in real time and dynamically adjusts its configuration based on the number of subscribers.
- If nobody subscribers to the high-quality stream, the SDK automatically reduces its bitrate and frame rate to save upstream bandwidth.
- If someone subscribes to the high-quality stream, the SDK resets the high-quality stream to the VideoEncoderConfiguration configuration used in the most recent calling of setVideoEncoderConfiguration. If no configuration has been set by the user previously, the following values are used:
  - Resolution: (Windows and macOS) 1280 × 720; (Android and iOS) 960 × 540
  - Frame rate: 15 fps
  - Bitrate: (Windows and macOS) 1600 Kbps; (Android and iOS) 1000 Kbps
The SDK monitors the number of subscribers to the low-quality video stream in real time and dynamically enables or disables it based on the number of subscribers.
Note: If the user has called setDualStreamMode to set that never send low-quality video stream (disableSimulcastStream), the dynamic adjustment of the low-quality stream in meeting scenarios will not take effect.
- If nobody subscribes to the low-quality stream, the SDK automatically disables it to save upstream bandwidth.
- If someone subscribes to the low-quality stream, the SDK enables the low-quality stream and resets it to the SimulcastStreamConfig configuration used in the most recent calling of setDualStreamMode. If no configuration has been set by the user previously, the following values are used:
  - Resolution: 480 × 272
  - Frame rate: 15 fps
  - Bitrate: 500 Kbps

applicationScenario1v1(2) This is applicable to the one to one live scenario. To meet the requirements for low latency and high-quality video in this scenario, the SDK optimizes its strategies, improving performance in terms of video quality, first frame rendering, latency on mid-to-low-end devices, and smoothness under weak network conditions.

applicationScenarioLiveshow(3) This is applicable to the show room scenario. In this scenario, fast video rendering and high image quality are crucial. The SDK implements several performance optimizations, including automatically enabling accelerated audio and video frame rendering to minimize first-frame latency (no need to call enableInstantMediaRendering), and B-frame encoding to achieve better image quality and bandwidth efficiency. The SDK also provides enhanced video quality and smooth playback, even in poor network conditions or on lower-end devices.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

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.

Call timing

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

Restrictions

When calling in a channel, make sure that no audio or video stream is being published.
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 live streaming scenarios, this method only applies to hosts.

Parameters

config: The configuration of the audio and video call loop test. See EchoTestConfiguration.

Returns

0: Success.
< 0: Failure.

startLastmileProbeTest

Starts the last mile network probe test.

Future<void> startLastmileProbeTest(LastmileProbeConfig config);

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 timing

Do not call other methods before receiving the onLastmileQuality and onLastmileProbeResult callbacks. Otherwise, the callbacks may be interrupted.

Restrictions

None.

Related callbacks

After successfully calling this method, the SDK sequentially triggers the following 2 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.

Parameters

config: The configurations of the last-mile network probe test. See LastmileProbeConfig.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

startLocalAudioMixer

Starts local audio mixing.

Future<void> startLocalAudioMixer(LocalAudioMixerConfiguration config);

This method supports merging multiple audio streams into one audio stream locally. For example, merging the audio streams captured from the local microphone, and that from the media player, the sound card, and the remote users into one audio stream, and then publish the merged audio stream to the channel.

If you want to mix the locally captured audio streams, you can set publishMixedAudioTrack in ChannelMediaOptions to true, and then publish the mixed audio stream to the channel.
If you want to mix the remote audio stream, ensure that the remote audio stream has been published in the channel and you have subcribed to the audio stream that you need to mix.

Applicable scenarios

You can enable this function in the following scenarios:

By utilizing the local video mixing feature, the associated audio streams of the mixed video streams can be simultaneously captured and published.
In live streaming scenarios, users can receive audio streams within the channel, mix multiple audio streams locally, and then forward the mixed audio stream to other channels.
In online classes, teachers can mix the audio from interactions with students locally and then forward the mixed audio stream to other channels.

Call timing

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

Restrictions

To ensure audio quality, it is recommended that the number of audio streams to be mixed does not exceed 10.

Parameters

config: The configurations for mixing the lcoal audio. See LocalAudioMixerConfiguration.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

startLocalVideoTranscoder

Starts the local video mixing.

Future<void> startLocalVideoTranscoder(LocalTranscoderConfiguration config);

After calling this method, you can merge multiple video streams into one video stream locally. For example, you can merge the video streams captured by the camera, screen sharing, media player, remote video, video files, images, etc. into one video stream, and then publish the mixed video stream to the channel.

Applicable scenarios

You can enable the local video mixing function in scenarios such as remote conferences, live streaming, and online education, which allows users to view and manage multiple videos more conveniently, and supports portrait-in-picture effect and other functions.

The following is a typical use case for implementing the portrait-in-picture effect:

Call enableVirtualBackground, and set the custom background image to backgroundNone, that is, separate the portrait and the background in the video captured by the camera.
Call startScreenCaptureBySourceType to start capturing the screen sharing video stream.
Call this method and set the video source for capturing portraits as one of the video sources participating in the local video mixing, picture-in-picture of the portrait can be achived in the mixed video.

Call timing

If you need to mix the locally collected video streams, you need to call this method after startCameraCapture or startScreenCaptureBySourceType.
If you want to publish the mixed video stream to the channel, you need to set publishTranscodedVideoTrack in ChannelMediaOptions to true when calling joinChannel or updateChannelMediaOptions.

Restrictions

Local video mixing requires more CPU resources. Therefore, Agora recommends enabling this function on devices with higher performance.
If you need to mix locally captured video streams, the SDK supports the following capture combinations:
- On the Windows platform, it supports up to 4 video streams captured by cameras + 4 screen sharing streams.
- On the macOS platform, it supports up to 4 video streams captured by cameras + 1 screen sharing stream.
- On Android and iOS platforms, it supports video streams captured by up to 2 cameras (the device itself needs to support dual cameras or supports external cameras) + 1 screen sharing stream.
When configuring the local video mixing, it is necessary to ensure that the layer number of the video stream capturing the portrait is greater than the layer number of the screen sharing stream. Otherwise, the portrait will be covered by the screen sharing and will not be displayed in the final mixed video stream.

Related callbacks

When you fail to call this method, the SDK triggers the onLocalVideoTranscoderError callback to report the reason.

Parameters

config

Configuration of the local video mixing, see LocalTranscoderConfiguration.

Attention:

The maximum resolution of each video stream participating in the local video mixing is 4096 × 2160. If this limit is exceeded, video mixing does not take effect.
The maximum resolution of the mixed video stream is 4096 × 2160.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

startMediaRenderingTracing

Enables tracing the video frame rendering process.

Future<void> startMediaRenderingTracing();

Details

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

Note:

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

Applicable scenarios

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

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

startOrUpdateChannelMediaRelay

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

Future<void> startOrUpdateChannelMediaRelay(
      ChannelMediaRelayConfiguration configuration);

Details

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

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

If the onChannelMediaRelayStateChanged callback returns relayStateRunning (2) and relayOk (0), it means that the SDK starts relaying media streams from the source channel to the destination 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.
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.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.

Enables the virtual metronome.

Future<void> startRhythmPlayer(
      {required String sound1,
      required String sound2,
      required AgoraRhythmPlayerConfig config});

After enabling the virtual metronome, the SDK plays the specified audio effect file from the beginning, and controls the playback duration of each file according to beatsPerMinute you set in AgoraRhythmPlayerConfig. For example, if you set beatsPerMinute as 60, the SDK plays one beat every second. If the file duration exceeds the beat duration, the SDK only plays the audio within the beat duration.
By default, the sound of the virtual metronome is published in the channel. If you want the sound to be heard by the remote users, you can set publishRhythmPlayerTrack in ChannelMediaOptions as true.

Applicable scenarios

In music education, physical education and other scenarios, teachers usually need to use a metronome so that students can practice with the correct beat. The meter is composed of a downbeat and upbeats. The first beat of each measure is called a downbeat, and the rest are called upbeats.

Call timing

This method can be called either before or after joining the channel.

Restrictions

None.

Related callbacks

After successfully calling this method, the SDK triggers the onRhythmPlayerStateChanged callback locally to report the status of the virtual metronome.

setRemoteSubscribeFallbackOption

Sets the fallback option for the subscribed video stream based on the network conditions.

Future<void> setRemoteSubscribeFallbackOption(StreamFallbackOptions option);

Details

An unstable network affects the audio and video quality in a video call or interactive live video streaming. If option is set as streamFallbackOptionVideoStreamLow or streamFallbackOptionAudioOnly, the SDK automatically switches the video from a high-quality stream to a low-quality stream or disables the video when the downlink network conditions cannot support both audio and video to guarantee the quality of the audio. Meanwhile, the SDK continuously monitors network quality and resumes subscribing to audio and video streams when the network quality improves.

When the subscribed video stream falls back to an audio-only stream, or recovers from an audio-only stream to an audio-video stream, the SDK triggers the onRemoteSubscribeFallbackToAudioOnly callback.

Parameters

option: Fallback options for the subscribed stream. See StreamFallbackOptions.

Exceptions

When the method call succeeds, there is no return value; when fails, the AgoraRtcException exception is thrown. You need to catch the exception and handle it accordingly.
