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

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.

Returns

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

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.

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.

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

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

Call timing

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

Restrictions

• When calling this method, ensure you set the user role as audience and do not set the audio scenario as 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 IRtcEngine instance supports preloading 20 channels at most. When exceeding this limit, the latest 20 preloaded channels take effect.

Parameters

token
