VidyoClient API Binary Library: About Version 21.5.0

What's new in this release

Support for a virtual audio source 

  • VidyoClient now supports a virtual audio source. Using this feature, an application can inject audio frames into a conference using VidyoConnector APIs. 

Support for content sharing with audio

  • VidyoClient can now capture audio coming from the system default output device and send it to all the participants in the conference. Therefore, when users share applications that play audio, such as YouTube or the Windows Media Player, the other conference participants will be able to both see video and hear audio from that shared application.
    • This feature is supported only on high-end Windows systems. Support for macOS will be added in a future release.

Dynamic linking of SDK for image segmentation

  • The image segmentation functionality (for example, background blur and virtual background) is an optional feature. That being so, this enhancement allows the application to exclude the segmentation SDK when running with VidyoClient if the image segmentation functionality is not used in the application.

Resolved issues

The following table lists the resolved issues in VidyoClient API version 21.5.0:

VidyoClient API Version 21.5.0 - Resolved Issues
Key Summary

IO-3678

 An issue that prevented some users from joining calls with a specific version of the router has been resolved.

IO-3674

 A crash when using VidyoClient 21.4 or 21.3 with experimental options no longer occurs.

IO-3570

 An issue was resolved that caused some VidyoConnect call participants’ tiles to appear black until audio was received from those participants.

IO-3288

 An issue was resolved where, when network performance degraded, the audio quality became poor although the video and content sharing quality remained the same.

 

Known issues

The following table lists the known issues in VidyoClient API version 21.5.0:

VidyoClient API Version 21.5.0 - Known Issues
Key Summary

IO-3500
and
IO-3466

When the content sharing with audio feature is used during a conference, VidyoClient will share the audio being played to the speaker selected as the default speaker in the operating system. Therefore, you must ensure that no other application other than the application you are sharing is playing audio to the speaker.

IO-3456

 Audio is shared only from the operating system's default output device. Therefore, if you want to share audio in your conference, you must select the default device as your audio playback device on the application from which you want to share audio. If a device other than the OS default device is selected, audio won't be shared.

 

VidyoClient API Binary Library: About Version 21.4.0

What's new in this release

Redundancy support for Opus 

  • This release adds RED support for the Opus codec. RED, which stands for REDundant coding, is an RTP payload format defined in RFC 2198 for encoding redundant audio or video data.
    • Sending redundant data enables the recovery of packets lost under lossy network conditions. If a packet is lost, the missing information may be reconstructed at the receiver from the redundant data that arrives in the following packet(s).

iOS device selection and audio routing enhancements

  • If you're an iOS user, you'll find that this release enables you to more easily and successfully select and switch between your microphone and speaker devices. In addition, you'll notice that we've improved the audio routing, reducing the chance that you'll run into audio issues on your iOS devices.

VidyoClient API Binary Library: About Version 20.3.0

What's new in this release

High frame rate content share

  • If you've ever wanted to share a streaming video or other high frame rate content during a video call, now you can! With version 20.3.0, you can share content up to 30 FPS.
  • High frame rate content share is supported for Windows®, macOS®, Android™, and iOS.

Waiting room

  • The Waiting Room feature prevents meeting participants from seeing or hearing each other until the room owner joins the meeting or the moderator selects a presenter.
  • As soon as the room owner joins or the presenter is selected, the meeting begins and all the participants can see each other. In addition:
    • If Group mode is enabled, all the participants’ microphones will be unmuted.
    • If Presenter mode is enabled, all the participants’ microphones will remain muted.

Presenter node

  • When Presenter mode is enabled:
    • All the participants remain in Waiting Room mode until the moderator selects the presenter.
    • The microphones of all the participants are muted, and they must use the Raise Hand button to request to be unmuted.
    • The conference moderator sees the Raise Hand requests and can select who to unmute.

Call moderation

  • The moderator can control many aspects of the video meeting, such as:
    • Invite new participants.
    • Mute and unmute individual or all participants' microphones and cameras.
    • Lock and unlock the room.
    • Switch to Presenter mode.
    • Start, stop, pause, and resume recording.
    • Disconnect participants and end the call.
  • If you are not the room owner, you must enter the moderator PIN to become the moderator.

Webcast indication API

  • A new API provides you with the ability to show a webcast indication when there is an ongoing webcast during a video call.

VidyoClient API Binary Library: About Version 20.2.0

What's new in this release

Multiple enhancements for Custom Layout

  • Multiple enhancements have been added to the Custom Layout in order to provide a better user experience. These enhancements include APIs that the application can use to reduce the chance of getting black video tiles as well as to reduce the receive bandwidth usage.
  • The VidyoConnector Sample has also been updated to include a new layout where all the tiles are equal-sized.

Disabling video under prolonged low bandwidth conditions

  • If an individual user in a call experiences prolonged low network bandwidth, their video feed will automatically shut off. By doing so, their limited bandwidth can be used to transmit their audio.
  • Whenever the VidyoClient API shuts off a video stream due to prolonged low bandwidth, it will notify the application.
  • This feature is disabled by default. For information about how to enable it, contact Enghouse Vidyo as listed in the Contact Us article.

Automatically reconnecting to conferences

  • Calls will now automatically attempt to reconnect if they were disconnected under conditions where Enghouse Vidyo  determines a reconnection attempt may be successful.
  • If this occurs, the affected users will be notified of the following:
    • When a reconnection is being attempted.
    • The number of attempts at reconnection. 
    • Whether the reconnection is successful or not. 
  • This feature is disabled by default. For information about how to enable it, contact Enghouse Vidyo as listed in the Contact Us article.

Support for additional processors

  • We can now detect newer processors including the Intel Cannon Lake, Intel Ice Lake, and Apple A13, thereby enabling our customers to achieve top-level performance.

Disabling the default install license behavior

  • By default, an install license is consumed whenever a VidyoClient-based app is installed on a new machine. However, an Advanced option is now available that enables you to disable the default install license behavior.
  • This feature is disabled by default. For information about how to enable it, contact Enghouse Vidyo as listed in the Contact Us article or by reaching out to your authorized Vidyo Reseller.

Pinning and unpinning one video tile at a time

  • The ability to pin and unpin one video tile at a time on a composite layout has been added.
  • Support for pinning multiple participant tiles is not yet available.

Number of encoded spatial layers added to statistics

  • For easier debugging, the statistics now identify the number of spatial layers received, decoded, or rendered by the receiving client.

New and updated APIs

  • VidyoConnectorSetPool API for guests
    • The VidyoConnectorSetPool API can now be used for guest users. This API enables the  application to determine which VidyoRouter in the network will be used for the call by the client.
  • New API to lock orientation of mobile devices
    • The new VidyoLocalCameraSetOrientation API enables the application to lock the orientation of the video rendering window.
