JavaScript Library


VidyoClient for WebRTC JavaScript Library: About General Availability (GA) Version 22.6.0

What's new in this release

  • Ability to subscribe to and unsubscribe from Event Server topics
    • This new feature allows library clients to subscribe and unsubscribe to various topics as well as receive related notifications.
    • You can now use the following new APIs:
      • public SubscribeToTopic(args: SubscribeToTopicArgs): Promise<string>—This API allows you to subscribe to specific event optics on the Event Server
      • public UnsubscribeFromTopic(args: UnsubscribeFromtopicArgs): Promise<void>—This API allows you to unsubscribe from specific event topics on the Event Server
      • public GetJWTToken(): Promise<string>— This API returns the JWToken and RefreshToken that may be needed
  • Peer-to-peer (P2P) support
    • This version of VidyoClient for WebRTC adds peer-to-peer support. Because P2P is a decentralized communications model, it uses resources more efficiently and is less vulnerable to systemic failure.
      • VidyoClient will automatically switch to P2P as needed and adapt the bandwidth and bitrate accordingly.
      • You can configure the P2P feature on the portal.

VidyoClient API Binary Library: About Version 22.5.0

What's new in this release

  • Compatibility with Android 13 OS

    • We’ve updated the VidyoClient API binary library so it’s now compatible with Android 13, Google’s latest mobile operating system.

  • Call quality indicators

    • With this release, applications get call quality indicators to enable users to easily retrieve information about the sending and receiving video quality of their calls.

    • The existing callbacks VidyoRoomOnAvailableResourcesChanged and VidyoConnectorOnAvailableResourcesChanged now report this information:

      • cpuEncode — Available CPU for encoding sources

      • cpuDecode — Available CPU for decoding sources

      • bandwidthSend — Available bandwidth for sending sources

      • bandwidthReceive — Available bandwidth for receiving sources

    • The values above are percentages and in the range of 0-100.

      • cpuEncode or cpuDecode: If the value is higher than 0, assume that the system has sufficient CPU and the call is running with high quality; otherwise, the call is running with low quality.

      • bandwidthSend or bandwidthReceive: When the application chooses a particular resolution to be transmitted for video OR shared content, VidyoClient calculates these two numbers:

        • preferredBitrate — If enough bandwidth is available to do this, the video and call quality will be good.

        • nominalBitrate — This is the minimum bandwidth required to stream the resolution chosen by the application. The preferredBitrate is always greater than the nominalBitrate.

    • The call quality indicator callback logic is as follows:

      • If the available bandwidth on the system is less than the nominalBitrate, the application will get 0 in the callback, which indicates low call quality.

      • If the available bandwidth on the system is greater than the nominalBitrate but less than the preferredBitrate, the application will get a value between 1% and 70% in the callback.

      • If the available bandwidth on the system is greater than the preferredBitrate, the application will get a value between 71% and 100% in the callback.

    • Applications are free to choose their own ranges, but the following ranges are from the VidyoClient perspective:

      • High quality — 50-100%

      • Medium quality — 25-50%

      • Low quality — 0-25%

  • Deprecated APIs

    • To simplify the APIs, we deprecated some of the existing APIs for video sources such as window share, monitors, and virtual video sources. The following table lists the deprecated APIs and their replacements, if any:

      This API... Has been replaced by this API...

VidyoClient API Binary Library: About Version 22.4.0

What's new in this release

  • Ability to enable and disable mirroring of the local camera feed
    • By default, the local camera feed is mirrored for the local preview. However, when sharing your video camera as content, if the shared content contains text, you may not want the video to be mirrored.
      • For example, in a healthcare scenario, if a doctor needs to read text on the video that is being shared, you should disable mirroring to ensure that the doctor can easily read the text.
    • To enable or disable this feature, use the enablePreviewMirroring flag in the VidyoConnectorSetRendererOptionsForViewId interface.
  • Improved media route handling for Android
    • In this release, we’ve improved the way we route media for Android applications. Instead of listing a single speaker device, we now offer a complete list of speaker devices to the application.
      • If the application selects a speaker device, the corresponding microphone device is chosen automatically.
      • If the application selects the default, VidyoConnector chooses the most appropriate device in this priority order:
        • Bluetooth
        • Wired
        • Loudspeaker
        • Earpiece
    • Note that we support only SCO (voice communication) devices and not A2DP (multimedia communication) devices.
  • Statistics analyzer enhancements
    • Prior to this release, the Google Analytics and VidyoInsights features were tightly coupled such that only one of them could be used at a time. Starting with this release, these features are independent.
    • This enhancement resulted in some interface changes at the VidyoConnector level; therefore, we recommend updating your application if you use these features.

Resolved issues

The following table lists the issues we have resolved in VidyoClient for API Binary Library version 22.4.0:

VidyoClient for API Binary Library Version 22.4.0 - Resolved Issues
Key Summary
VIDVCB-13 We’ve fixed an issue where the zoom action could be slow and choppy when using VidyoConnect for Mobile on iOS to zoom in or out on a VidyoConnect for Desktop endpoint. We’ve also added support for “press and hold” functionality for cameras that support Absolute Zoom.
VIDVCB-7 An issue that prevented lock orientation from working properly for the local camera has been fixed.
VIDVCB-5 When using Far End Camera Control (FECC) on a Sony SRG-120DU camera, you can now zoom out the camera as expected. The conversion logic of the user magnification value to the camera magnification value has been fixed.

 

Known issues

VidyoClient API Binary Library: About Version 22.3.0

What's new in this release

  • Ability to set your application name and version using VidyoConnectorSetProductInfo
    • Applications using the VidyoConnector API can now set their own application name and version when calling VidyoConnectorSetProductInfo. 
      • If no application name is provided, "VidyoConnector" is used.
  • New VidyoRemoteCameraViscaControl API for controlling remote cameras
    • This release introduces a new connector-level API for remote cameras:  VidyoRemoteCameraViscaControl. In conferences where the remote camera is controlled over VISCA (such as with VidyoConnect Room), applications can now send VISCA commands to control the remote camera.
  • Updated CA certificates
    • We've updated the ca-certificates in our code. These certificates are used by products that require a CA root certificate bundle.
    • This update improves the compatibility of the certificates with the VidyoPortal, web browsers, and mobile devices.
  • Improved FPS and CPU utilization for the virtual background feature
    • By improving the Frame Per Second (FPS) processing when the virtual background or blur background feature is enabled, we now yield better FPS on low-end devices.
    • We have also moved YUV-1420 from the CPU to GPU and performed a few other conversions, leading to less CPU utilization.

Resolved issues

The following table lists the issues we have resolved in VidyoClient for API Binary Library version 22.3.0:

VidyoClient for API Binary Library Version 22.3.0 - Resolved Issue
Key Summary
VIDVCB-36 A bug in the JSON parser that occurred while parsing ext_data_type has been fixed; therefore, the ext_data_type parsing error no longer occurs.
VIDVCB-30 An issue was fixed where iPad OS devices with a sampling rate of 44.1KHz produced echo starting with iPad OS 15.3.1. This release changed the sampling rate for audio capturing to 48KHz for the entire iOS platform, thereby preventing the echo.
VIDVCB-4 An issue was fixed where the VidyoReplay recording would display a "No camera" icon even when there were still video-enabled participants in the call. This occurred when a client resolution that had an odd width or height was received. Vidyo supports three spatial layers when a remote participant is on a limited bandwidth network. When the system has a resolution such as 960x540p, the third spatial layer is 240x135p which is a resolution with an odd number of lines. For VP8 and VP9 codecs, VidyoClient normalizes this resolution from an odd number of lines to an even number since YUV supports only even resolutions.

 

Known issues

There are no new known issues in this release.

VidyoClient API Binary Library: About Version 22.1.0

What's new in this release

  • VidyoClient 22.1 ships royalty-free
    • This release supports VP8/VP9 only and is royalty-free. 
    • This royalty-free version does not require an install license from the VidyoPortal. Since VP9 uses a client library, which doesn't consume a license, you no longer need go to the Admin Portal Advanced Options to configure your system to stop consuming a license.
    • Requires VidyoPortal 22.1.x or later only. It does not support versions of the VidyoPortal and VidyoRouter earlier than 22.1.x.
    • VP9 gets automatically set up when you upgrade to this version.
  • H264 codec no longer supported
    • We now exclusively use VP9/VP8 codec for video and content sharing—VidyoClient SDK will only encode/decode video on tenants that support VP8/VP9.
    • Starting with this release, if a client that supports H264 codec joins a call with a client that supports VP8/VP9 codec only, there will be no video. It will be an audio-only call.
    • If a VP8/VP9 client joins a tenant that does not support VP8/VP9, the call will be an audio-only for the client. Other clients in the conference that support H264 will be able to see video and share content.
  • Enhanced video frame capturing logic for content sharing on Windows and Mac
    • Users of the VidyoClient on Windows and Mac can now experience better quality video conferences as we have greatly enhanced the frame capturing logic for content sharing in these environments.
  • Support for Mac move to ARM processors
    • We have updated Vidyo SDK to support macOS on Apple Silicon. We now have a separate package for all the VidyoClient libraries for MAC ARM architecture, VidyoClient-macOSSDK-arm64-TRINITY-22_1_0_xxxx.zip.
    • We also updated the 3rd party libraries commonly used in Vidyo SDK plugins (OpenSSL 1.1.1l , Libsrtp 2.4.0, Opus 1.3.1, Libvpx 1.9.0).
  • End-to-end content sharing enhancements
    • Multiple enhancements have been added to end-to-end content sharing to provide a better user experience.
  • Performance improvements
    • In this release, we’ve updated internal processes for enhanced functionality and performance.

VidyoClient for WebRTC JavaScript Library: About General Availability (GA) Version 22.5.0

What's new in this release

  • Support for Native WebRTC on more browsers and platforms
    • We have added official support for Native WebRTC on these new OS versions:
      • Android 13
      • iOS 16
      • macOS 13
  • Support for VP9 Codec on iOS 16
    • We have enabled VP9 SVC codec support for iOS 16. VP9 uses less network bandwidth and provides a better call experience compared to VP8.
  • Updates to support camera presets
    • In this release, we’ve made changes to accommodate the camera presets feature. This feature allows you to store specific settings on your camera, such as where the camera points and its PTZ settings, so that you can quickly move the camera to those stored positions.
      • For example, if you want a camera in a patient's room to point at the bed, the monitor, and the doorway, you can set each of these locations as camera presets.
  • Smoother zoom for Sony SRG-120DU and PTZ Optics cameras
    • When using a Sony SRG-120DU or PTZ Optics camera, the Far End Camera Control (FECC) “smoothZoom” feature in WebRTC now zooms in and out more smoothly just like it does in the desktop app.
  • PIP mode for two-party calls on desktop
    • As requested by healthcare customers, we’ve reinstituted the traditional PIP window for two-person video calls on the desktop app. This time, however, the PIP window will be moveable instead of in a fixed position.
      • If a third party joins the call, PIP mode switches to the gallery or tile view to enable users to see all the participants more clearly.

    • The code has been optimized to adapt the outgoing video resolution more rapidly to changing network conditions. This means that the sent camera resolution now adapts more quickly to meet the available bandwidth. 
  • Enhanced receiver algorithm
    • We have improved the algorithm at the receiver side to take better advantage of the device type (desktop, Android phone or tablet, or iOS phone or tablet) and the receive bandwidth.
    • With this enhancement, you will be able to receive clearer audio without interruption as well as view better quality video tiles. In addition, this feature enables video tiles to be restored when network conditions improve.
  • Support for multiple tiles on tablets
    • You can now see more call participants when you join a video call with your Android or iOS tablet. Both types of tablets now support up to three video tiles. 
  • VP9 SVC support for Safari
    • VP9 SVC (Scalable Video Coding) is now supported on macOS Safari. When compared with VP8, this improves video quality while using significantly less bandwidth.

Resolved issues

The following table lists the issues we have resolved in VidyoClient for WebRTC JavaScript Library version 22.3.0:

VidyoClient for WebRTC JavaScript Library Version 22.3.0 - Resolved Issues
Key Summary
IOWEBRTC-2964

An issue was fixed where the Native WebRTC client was not receiving remote microphone mute/unmute events from VidyoConnect Binary clients.

IOWEBRTC-2923

When the vidyoConnector.ShowViewLabel(...) method is called with the showViewLabel parameter set to false to hide the label, visible artifacts no longer appear.

IOWEBRTC-2773

We've improved compliance with the Content-Security-Policy (CSP): "unsafe-eval" is no longer needed to use the Native WebRTC JavaScript library.

IOWEBRTC-2009

The enhanced receiver algorithm feature introduced in 22.3.0 fixed some issues, such as the number of participant video tiles sometimes dropping to one even under good network conditions.

Known issues

The following table lists the issues that still remain, but you can be sure our teams are working hard to fix them.

VidyoClient for WebRTC JavaScript Library Version 22.2.0 - Known Issues 

Key Summary
IOWEBRTC-2978

On macOS, video from remote participants may freeze after disconnecting a Bluetooth headset while in a call.

IOWEBRTC-2876

On macOS and occasionally on iOS, audio stops sending when a call participant switches to another microphone or plugs in an additional microphone.

IOWEBRTC-2650

There is an issue with unprocessed audio occurring when a stethoscope is connected and selected as a microphone, causing the remote user not to be heard. 

This issue was investigated and determined to be an issue with Safari. When Safari is acquiring audio stream from one microphone, it breaks all previous streams from other microphones. For more information, refer to https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=235713.

IOWEBRTC-2619

Some Samsung devices on Android 11 may not be able to join a call or send/receive media. This was investigated and was determined to be an issue with Samsung.

IOWEBRTC-2423

If a user mutes their microphone during a call, the browser still reports that the microphone is in use. This is not a bug. This behavior occurs because VidyoClient still has access to the muted microphone resource to ensure that unmuting the microphone works properly.

IOWEBRTC-2222

When a mobile device is in portrait mode, the browser rotates the applied video constraints and switches to landscape mode. This has been investigated and determined to be the behavior for the current Safari and Chrome browsers.

IOWEBRTC-2218

When using VP9 codec in desktop or mobile Chrome browsers, the application reacts too quickly to bandwidth fluctuations, which can sometimes lead to reduced outgoing video resolution.

IOWEBRTC-1942

On iOS, when a user starts sharing their camera (selects the camera as a source for content sharing), the video stream stops and remote participants see a black video tile. This is due to an iOS bug: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179363 

IOWEBRTC-1823

VP8/VP9 users with limits for receive/send bandwidth may experience fluctuations in frames per second (FPS) and resolution during video calls.

IOWEBRTC-1784 Audio lip-sync is delayed on iOS Safari after flipping the camera during a call. This is a known issue with Safari that cannot be fixed by Enghouse Vidyo at this time.
IOWEBRTC-1719 On iOS 14+, video continues to transmit during an incoming voice call.
IOWEBRTC-1705 Chrome browser sometimes encodes only 720p/10-15 fps, even when the network has enough bandwidth to support a higher frame rate.
IOWEBRTC-1673 On Chrome in macOS with dual-core CPUs, the resolution drops when the CPU idle is at 30-50%.

 


VidyoClient for WebRTC JavaScript Library: About General Availability (GA) Version 22.2.0

What's new in this release

  • Support for DTX mode
    • DTX (discontinuous transmission) mode is now enabled for the OPUS codec. This mode reduces the bandwidth used for audio when the participant is silent. It also reduces CPU load on the receiver side since there are fewer audio frames to decode.
    • This feature works across all supported browsers for both desktop and mobile.

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:

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

  • 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
