OpenTok Session.
This file includes the type definition for an OpenTok session along with several function declarations useful when dealing with a session.
| typedef struct otc_session otc_session |
OpenTok session type definition.
| typedef struct otc_session_settings otc_session_settings |
OpenTok session settings type definition.
Error code enumeration for OpenTok sessions.
This enumeration represents several error codes associated with a session.
| otc_status otc_session_connect | ( | otc_session * | session, |
| const char * | token | ||
| ) |
Connects the client to an OpenTok session.
| session | The otc_session struct representing the OpenTok session to connect to. |
| token | The client token for connecting to the session. See Token Creation Overview. |
| otc_status otc_session_delete | ( | otc_session * | session | ) |
Releases resources associated with the session.
| session | The otc_session instance. |
| otc_status otc_session_disable_force_mute | ( | otc_session * | session | ) |
Disables the active mute state of the session. After you call this method, new streams published to the session will no longer have audio muted.
After you call the otc_session_force_mute_all() function (or a moderator in another client makes a call to mute all streams), any streams published after the moderation call are published with audio muted. Call the otc_session_disable_force_mute function to remove the mute state of a session (so that new published streams are not automatically muted).
Calling this function causes the otc_session_callback.on_mute_forced() callback function to be called in each client connected to the session, with the active property of the otc_on_mute_forced_info struct passed into the function set to OTC_FALSE.
Call the otc_session_get_capabilities function to see if the client can call this function successfully. This is reserved for clients that have connected with a token that has been assigned the moderator role (see the Token creation overview.
| session | The otc_session struct representing the OpenTok session. |
| otc_status otc_session_disconnect | ( | otc_session * | session | ) |
Disconnects the client from this session. All of the client's subscribers and publishers will also be will be disconnected from the session. As a best practice, before calling this function, call the otc_session_unpublish function for all publishers and wait for the otc_publisher_callbacks#on_stream_destroyed callback. This ensures the complete removal of publishers, especially if network connectivity issues prevent removal due to the reconnection feature, which may keep publisher streams alive for potential reconnection.
| session | The otc_session struct representing the OpenTok session to disconnect from. |
| otc_status otc_session_force_mute_all | ( | otc_session * | session, |
| const char ** | excluded_streams_ids, | ||
| const int | excluded_streams_len | ||
| ) |
Forces all publishers in the session (except for those publishing excluded streams) to mute audio.
Also, any streams that are published after the call to the otc_session_force_mute_all function are published with audio muted. You can remove the mute state of a session by calling the otc_session_disable_force_mute function. After you call the otc_session_disable_force_mute function, new streams published to the session will no longer have audio muted.
Calling this function causes the otc_session_callback.on_mute_forced() callback function to be called in each client connected to the session, with the active property of the otc_on_mute_forced_info struct passed into the function set to OTC_TRUE. Also, the otc_publisher_callbacks.on_publisher_mute_forced() callback function is called in each client publishing a muted stream.
Call the otc_session_get_capabilities function to see if the client can call this function successfully. This is reserved for clients that have connected with a token that has been assigned the moderator role (see the (see the Token creation overview.
| session | The otc_session struct representing the OpenTok session. |
| excluded_streams_ids | A pointer to an array of stream ID strings for the streams to be muted. Set this to nullptr to mute all streams in the session (including those published by the local client). |
| excluded_streams_len | The length of the excluded stream array. |
| otc_status otc_session_force_mute_stream | ( | const otc_session * | session, |
| const char * | stream_id_to_mute | ||
| ) |
Forces the publisher of a specified stream to mute its audio.
Calling this function causes the otc_publisher_callbacks.on_publisher_mute_forced() callback function to be called in the client publishing the muted stream.
Call the otc_session_get_capabilities function to see if the client can call this function successfully. This is reserved for clients that have connected with a token that has been assigned the moderator role (see the (see the Token creation overview.
| session | The otc_session struct representing the OpenTok session. |
| stream_id_to_mute | The stream ID string for the stream to be muted. |
| struct otc_session_capabilities otc_session_get_capabilities | ( | const otc_session * | session | ) |

Single Peer Connection (SPC) is a feature that encapsulates all subscriber connections to a single peer connection. The benefits of enabling SPC include reduced OS resource consumption, improved rate control, and, in case of mobile native devices, support for larger sessions.
SPC is disabled by default. When disabled, the session will use Multiple Peer Connection (MPC), where a separate peer connection is established between each endpoint.
