Version 1.3.2 -- August 2022

Features:

• Added the ability to limit the number of subscribers' videos displayed in a room. See the maxVideoParticipantsOnScreen option of the Room() constructor. This is a beta feature.

• Added missing docs for the mediaShutoffThreshold option of the Room() constructor. This lets you set a threshold for the current number of participants in the Room (upon joining) that will prevent the local client’s CameraPublisher from publishing audio and video.

Bug Fix:

• The default option for deviceLayoutMode was not set to auto, causing the layout for mobile users to default to the desktop view. Now the deviceLayoutMode is automatically chosen based on the type of device used if no option is specified.

• User-specified device layout mode for Vonage Video Express is released (no longer in beta). See the managedLayoutOptions.layoutMode property of the Room() constructor options.

Version 1.2.3 -- June 2022

Improvements:

• Removed the mute button from the subscriber's video pane because it was behaving in an unexpected manner in a multi-party scenario.

Version 1.2.2 -- May 2022

Features:

• Included configurable TURN support for Vonage Video Express. See the iceConfig property of the options parameter of the VideoExpress.Room() constructor. This is also available as an add-on feature and is supported in Video Express as a beta feature.

Bug Fix:

• When a participant name had more characters than the current video element could accommodate, the participant name could overlap with the network quality icon or the mute icon. Now the participant name will be truncated and the video elements will not overlap.

Version 1.1.4 -- January 2022

Bug Fix:

• When a camera publisher failed while joining a call (for example, due to the user denying access to the camera or microphone or to a timeout when publishing), the client was still able to subscribe to other participants. Now the Room.join() method rejects when publishing fails and the participant is disconnected from the room.
• When a camera publisher failed during the call, the participant remained connected to the call without publishing a camera stream. Now the participant disconnects from the call, and the Room object dispatches the disconnected event, with the reason property of the event object set to cameraPublisherDestroyed. See the Room Events documentation.
