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.

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.

  • Invite new participants.

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.

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.
