What's New in This Release

Here's what's new in this release:

• Changes to the Permission Pop-ups
  
  • VidyoWeb now displays a pop-up that asks the user for permission to access their microphone in addition to their camera. In previous releases, the pop-up only asked about the camera.
  • The VidyoClientForWeb application now indicates to Chrome™ that it’s using both the camera and microphone. In previous releases, VidyoClientForWeb indicated that only the camera was being used.
  • We have modified our permission mechanism on Chrome to leverage the native mechanism only; therefore, all the issues that were related to the “Save” checkbox are no longer applicable.
  • When the pop-up that requests permission from the user to join a conference appears (when using the NPAPI plugins), the application receives the following:
    
    • PrivateOutEventGetJoinApproval events with the “joinStatus: true” value when the user selects “Allow”.
    • PrivateOutEventGetJoinApproval events with the “joinStatus: false” value when the user selects “Deny”.
      
      
• New and Updated Features
  
  • New APIs allow you to modify the number of log files and the size of each one. Here are some usage examples:
    
    

    var msg = messages.requestSetMaxLogFiles({maxLogFiles:10});
    proxyWrapper.sendRequest(msg, function(response){console.log(response);});
    var msg = messages.requestSetMaxLogSize({maxLogSize:5000}); // maxLogSize in byte
    proxyWrapper.sendRequest(msg, function(response){console.log(response);});
    

  • We now have a JavaScript equivalent API call for the native function VidyoClientConsoleLogConfigure(). You can use it as shown here:
    
    

    vidyoClient.setConsoleLogConfiguration({consoleLogConfiguration:'All'}); // (for NPAPI)
    var msg = messages.requestSetConsoleLogConfiguration({consoleLogConfiguration:'All'});
    proxyWrapper.sendRequest(msg, function(response){console.log(response);}); // (for NON-NPAPI)
    

  • A new out event, OutEventInitialVideoFrameSent, enables a window to appear as soon as the camera starts sending frames.
  • Vidyo now delivers the requireJS and non-requireJS files that work with the sample application.
  • We’ve updated the certificate bundle stored within the NPAPI plugins. This update applies mainly to Internet Explorer® users who have selected the “Enable Protected Mode” checkbox.
    
    
• Resolved Issue
  
  • If a domain name is long, the “Allow <domain name> to use your camera and microphone?” pop-up message now scales to fit all of the text within the pop-up box.
