Chat: Web SDK – Video API

The EnxRoom.sendMessage() method is used to exchange messages between Session participants. It allows you to exchange the following types of messages:

• Public Messaging: To send messages to all connected users.
• Private Messaging: To send messages to a specific user.
• Group Messaging: To send messages to more than one user.

The Messaging feature does not require the sender to publish Local Stream or the receiver to subscribe to Remote Stream.

Method: EnxRoom.sendMessage(Message, IsBroadcast, RecipientIDs, Callback)

Parameters:

• Message – String. Text message to be sent.
• IsBroadcast – Boolean. Set to true for Public Messaging, false for Private Messaging.
• RecipientIDs – Array of Client IDs to receive messages. Applicable for Group and Private Messaging.

Notification Event:

message-received – Receives event.message JSON Object at the Recipient Endpoint.
