VidyoClient API: About Version 3.5.20
What's New in This Release
This release resolved some issues to improve usability and performance, as well as introduced new APIs. The new APIs will allow you to modify the aspect ratio of the video and help you manage the composite send and receive bandwidth limits for video, data, and audio. For more information, please refer to the below bulleted sections and the Resolved Issues table.
To download the package for this release and the VidyoClient API Reference Guide, go to the VidyoWorks API Downloads article and then click the 3.5.20 link in the Download Link column.
- New APIs to Modify the Aspect Ratio of Video
- For customers with cameras that only support a 4:3 aspect ratio, use the new aspect ratio APIs to change your video screen settings.
- Set your aspect ratio to 4:3 to change to full screen video (limited high-definition display).
- Accept the system default of 16:9 to continue with widescreen video (the highest-definition video signals).
- Use the SET/GET Configuration APIs to change the aspect ratio to the minimum camera supported size 4:3 (width:height):
- VIDYO_CLIENT_REQUEST_SET_CONFIGURATION and VIDYO_CLIENT_REQUEST_GET_CONFIGURATION)
- If an incorrect value is set, the VidyoClient library will use the default value: 16:9.
- Set the aspect ratio of the rectangular partitions for width and height as follows:
- (VidyoUnit)aspectRatioWidth = 16 or 4
- (VidyoUnit)aspectRatioHeight = 9 or 3
- Use the below referenced example, to change the aspect ratio to 4:3:
VidyoClientRequestConfiguration config = {};
VidyoClientSendRequest(VIDYO_CLIENT_REQUEST_GET_CONFIGURATION,
&config, sizeof(VidyoClientRequestConfiguration));
config.aspectRatioWidth = 4;
config.aspectRatioHeight = 3;
VidyoClientSendRequest(VIDYO_CLIENT_REQUEST_SET_CONFIGURATION,
&config, sizeof(VidyoClientRequestConfiguration));
- For customers with cameras that only support a 4:3 aspect ratio, use the new aspect ratio APIs to change your video screen settings.
- New Bandwidth APIs to Manage Video, Data, and Audio Limits
- In this release, you can now set the full send or receive allowable bandwidth for video stream, data share, and audio with the following APIs and parameters. Previously, you could GET/SET SEND/RECEIVE bandwidth only for video stream. For example, the VIDYO_CLIENT_REQUEST_GET_SEND_MAX_KBPS API controlled the send bandwidth only for the video stream and not for the audio or data share send bandwidth.
- Use the following parameters to SET/GET the maximum full bandwidths in KBPS units if using the SET/GET Configuration APIs:
VIDYO_CLIENT_REQUEST_SET_CONFIGURATION and VIDYO_CLIENT_REQUEST_GET_CONFIGURATION):- maxFullSendBandwidth
- maxFullRecvBandwidth
- Another alternative is to use the APIs below to perform the same operation outside of the SET/GET Configuration APIs.
- VIDYO_CLIENT_REQUEST_SET_FULL_SEND_BANDWIDTH and
- VIDYO_CLIENT_REQUEST_SET_FULL_RECV_BANDWIDTH
- Use the following parameters to SET/GET the maximum full bandwidths in KBPS units if using the SET/GET Configuration APIs:
- For more details about these APIs, access the VidyoClient API Reference Guide by going to the VidyoWorks API Downloads article and then clicking the 3.5.20 link in the Download Link column to access the VidyoClient API Reference Guide.
- In this release, you can now set the full send or receive allowable bandwidth for video stream, data share, and audio with the following APIs and parameters. Previously, you could GET/SET SEND/RECEIVE bandwidth only for video stream. For example, the VIDYO_CLIENT_REQUEST_GET_SEND_MAX_KBPS API controlled the send bandwidth only for the video stream and not for the audio or data share send bandwidth.

VidyoClient API: About Version 3.5.19
New Updated Software Package for VidyoClient iOS Customers
An updated VidyoClient iOS software package for version 3.5.19 is now available for VidyoClient iOS customers. With this new package, VidyoClient iOS customers will no longer need to link to the third-party zlib library when building their application. The previous version of this software package included an unnecessary dependency on the zlib library that was unintentionally added due to an upgrade of the libcurl and OpenSSL. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
The updated software package is for VidyoClient iOS customers only. The software packages for VidyoClient Windows®, VidyoClient Mac®, and VidyoClient Android™ have not changed.
What's New in This Release
- OpenSSL and Curl Libraries Updated
- To improve the security and stability of VidyoClient version 3.5.19, the Open SLL was updated to version 1.1.1d and the Curl library was updated to version 7.66.0.
- Resolved Issues
- Various issues were resolved to improve usability and performance.

VidyoClient API: About Version 3.5.18
What's New in This Release
- New enableWebProxyDiscovering Parameter
- A new Boolean parameter called enableWebProxyDiscovering (default value = true) has been added to the VidyoClientRequestConfiguration structure.
- The new parameter allows the application to turn off the automatic discovery of web proxies in the event that a network has an improperly configured proxy and it is disrupting the ability to connect to Vidyo calls.
- Resolved Issues
- MacOS Catalina users can now successfully share their screens and applications with remote participants rather than displaying a blank screen.
- OUT events, such as OUT_EVENT_CONFERENCE_ENDED and OUT_EVENT_CONFERENCE_CLEARED, are now processed correctly after a call is disconnected.
- An autoproxy issue which resulted in the IN_EVENT_ROOM_LINK API hanging was resolved by supplying a new parameter (called enableWebProxyDiscovering) to the VidyoClientRequestConfiguration structure that turns off autoproxy look-up when set to false.
Resolved Issues

| VC-1662 | An autoproxy issue which resulted in the IN_EVENT_ROOM_LINK API hanging was resolved by supplying a new parameter (called enableWebProxyDiscovering) to the VidyoClientRequestConfiguration structure that turns off autoproxy look-up when set to false. |
VidyoClient API: About Version 3.5.17
What's New in This Release

- Resolved Issues
- Enghouse Vidyo improved the the security, stability, usability, and performance of the application. Specifically, the VidyoClient security was improved by addressing vulnerabilities found via a third-party scanner tool.

VidyoClient API: About Version 3.5.15
What's New in This Release
- Resolved Issues
- In this release of VidyoClient, we’ve updated our library to use isVideoStabilizationModeSupported instead of isVideoStabilizationSupported, which has been deprecated by Apple®.
- VidyoMobile™ users can now successfully join conferences when "Background Action" is disabled in their VidyoMobile app.
- When a VidyoWeb™ or VidyoDesktop™ user mutes the microphones of all the participants in a video call, the video from that user will remain visible to any mobile participants in the call.
- VidyoClient now returns the correct VidyoProxy state.
- On iOS, IP addresses are properly determined as iPV4 or iPV6, thus avoiding a runtime assertion failure.
- A runtime hang that occurred after leaving a call has been resolved on the Windows platform by providing a proper timeout value. Now, any delays only result in a five-second maximum wait instead of a runtime hang.
Resolved Issues
