New features and changes
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.
Version 1.3.1 -- August 2022
- The publisherProperties now supports all options included in OpenTok.js v2.23, including the
videoFilter option and full high definition (1080p) resolution.
Version 1.3.0 -- June 2022
- Configurable TURN support for Vonage Video Express is released (no longer in beta).
See the
iceConfig property of the Room()
constructor options.
- 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 1.2.1 -- April 2022
Features:
- Added feature to specify a device layout mode, such as "desktop" or "mobile".
See the
deviceLayoutMode property of the managedLayoutOptions parameter of the
Room() constructor. This is a beta feature.
Version 1.2.0 -- February 2022
Features:
Improvements:
- Improvements to mobile browser detection.
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.
Version 1.1.3 -- January 2022
Bug Fix:
- Signal events for signals sent from a server threw an exception. Signal events sent from a server will now have the
from property set to null. See the SignalEvent documentation.
Version 1.1.2 -- November 2021
Bug Fix:
- In some cases, the publisher’s connection was occasionally being destroyed after a short reconnection.
Version 1.1.1 -- November 2021
Bug Fix:
- Some events weren't proxied when using the
VideoExpress.setProxyUrl() method.
