Secured Recording File Access
All Session Files, viz. Recordings, Transcoded Video, Chat Scripts and Meta Files of the Video Sessions were available to you through a publicly accessible HTTP URL within the first 72 hours of session expiry. These open URL access will cease to exist w.e.f May 15, 2022.
Platform implemented a secured access mechanism to the Session Files through HTTP Basic Authentication.
100-Way Paged Video
With Active Talkers, each end point gets access to Active Talker Streams only. However, many business use-cases require access other streams available in the room who may not be actively participating in the conversation. Therefore, Platform introduces a process to allow access to maximum of 100-user’s video streams available in the room.
However, 100-user’s video paly at any end point will consume significant amount of bandwidth and it will not provide optimum video communication experience. Therefore, Platform provides one set of videos or one page of videos at a time to the requesting end point. To get access all 100-User’s streams, an endpoint may need to request repeatedly to get next set or next page of Videos.
250-Users in Interactive Session
Platform now supports up to 250 users in an interactive Video Sessions. With Active Talkers in effect, end-points receive maximum of 16 most actively talking user’s video at any given point of time. As other users talk, their video will become part of Active Talkers List, dropping others from the list.
Note:
- Interactive Video Sessions are held in Group Mode i.e. a Room defined with
{ "settings:: { "mode: "group"}} - Total Users in interactive session are calculated on sum of Moderators and Participants in the Session. User’s with “Viewer” role are excluded.
Screen Share Control
Platform introduces Screen Share Control feature using which any ongoing Screen Share can be stopped without Presenter’s intervention. This feature is empowers developer to create UX where ongoing Share be stopped to allow a new share to start by other users.

In-Session Live Recording
Recording Live refers to a new process of creating a transcoded file in a live session with a custom layout without having to record individual streams. So, using Live Recording has double advantage:
- You get a transcoded file within minutes post session. Not to wait longer alike previous transcoding process.
- You have an option to define your own layout for the live recording process unlike previous transcoding process that creates in a predefined layout.
