Detailed Description

The IRtcEngine class, which is the basic interface of the Agora SDK that implements the core functions of real-time communication.

IRtcEngine provides the main methods that your app can call.

Member Function Documentation

◆ release()

static AGORA_CPP_API void agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::release ( RtcEngineReleaseCallback  callback = nullptr)
static

Releases the IRtcEngine instance.

This method releases all resources used by the Agora SDK. Use this method for apps in which users occasionally make voice or video calls. When users do not make calls, you can free up resources for other operations. After a successful method call, you can no longer use any method or callback in the SDK anymore. If you want to use the real-time communication functions again, you must call createAgoraRtcEngine and initialize to create a new IRtcEngine instance.

Note
Agora does not recommend you calling release in any callback of the SDK. Otherwise, the SDK cannot release the resources until the callbacks return results, which may result in a deadlock.
Parameters
callback(Optional) Callback function pointer for setting the destruction mode of the engine to either synchronous or asynchronous. See RtcEngineReleaseCallback.
  • Non nullptr: Destroy the engine asynchronously. The method will return immediately, at which point the engine resources may not have been fully released yet. After the engine is destroyed, the SDK triggers RtcEngineReleaseCallback.
  • nullptr: Destroy the engine synchronously. This method only returns after the engine resources have been fully released.

◆ initialize()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::initialize ( const RtcEngineContext context)
pure virtual

Initializes IRtcEngine.

Call timing: Before calling other APIs, you must call createAgoraRtcEngine and initialize to create and initialize the IRtcEngine object.

Note
The SDK supports creating only one IRtcEngine instance for an app. All called methods provided by the IRtcEngine class are executed asynchronously. Agora recommends calling these methods in the same thread.
Parameters
contextConfigurations for the IRtcEngine instance. See RtcEngineContext.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -1: A general error occurs (no specified reason).
    • -2: The parameter is invalid.
    • -7: The SDK is not initialized.
    • -22: The resource request failed. The SDK fails to allocate resources because your app consumes too much system resource or the system resources are insufficient.
    • -101: The App ID is invalid.

◆ queryInterface()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::queryInterface ( INTERFACE_ID_TYPE  iid,
void **  inter 
)
pure virtual

Gets the pointer to the specified interface.

Parameters
iidThe ID of the interface. See INTERFACE_ID_TYPE.
interAn output parameter. The pointer to the specified interface.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

Implements agora::base::IEngineBase.

◆ getVersion()

virtual const char* agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::getVersion ( int *  build)
pure virtual

Gets the SDK version.

Parameters
buildThe SDK build index.
Returns
The SDK version number. The format is a string.

◆ getErrorDescription()

virtual const char* agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::getErrorDescription ( int  code)
pure virtual

Gets the warning or error description.

Parameters
codeThe error code reported by the SDK.
Returns
The specific error description.

◆ queryCodecCapability()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::queryCodecCapability ( CodecCapInfo codecInfo,
int &  size 
)
pure virtual

Queries the video codec capabilities of the SDK.

Parameters
codecInfoInput and output parameter. An array representing the video codec capabilities of the SDK. See CodecCapInfo.
  • Input value: One CodecCapInfo defined by the user when executing this method, representing the video codec capability to be queried.
  • Output value: The CodecCapInfo after the method is executed, representing the actual video codec capabilities of the SDK.
sizeInput and output parameter, represent the size of the CodecCapInfo array.
  • Input value: Size of the CodecCapInfo defined by the user when executing the method.
  • Output value: Size of the output CodecCapInfo after this method is executed.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ queryDeviceScore()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::queryDeviceScore ( )
pure virtual

Queries device score.

Applicable scenarios: In high-definition or ultra-high-definition video scenarios, you can first call this method to query the device's score. If the returned score is low (for example, below 60), you need to lower the video resolution to avoid affecting the video experience. The minimum device score required for different business scenarios is varied. For specific score recommendations, please technical support.

Returns
  • >0: The method call succeeeds, the value is the current device's score, the range is [0,100], the larger the value, the stronger the device capability. Most devices are rated between 60 and 100.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ preloadChannel()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::preloadChannel ( const char *  token,
const char *  channelId,
uid_t  uid 
)
pure virtual

Preloads a channel with token, channelId, and uid.

When audience members need to switch between different channels frequently, calling the method can help shortening the time of joining a channel, thus reducing the time it takes for audience members to hear and see the host. If you join a preloaded channel, leave it and want to rejoin the same channel, you do not need to call this method unless the token for preloading the channel expires. Call timing: To improve the user experience of preloading channels, Agora recommends that before joining the channel, calling this method as early as possible once confirming the channel name and user information.

Note
  • When calling this method, ensure you set the user role as audience and do not set the audio scenario as AUDIO_SCENARIO_CHORUS, otherwise, this method does not take effect.
  • You also need to make sure that the channel name, user ID and token passed in for preloading are the same as the values passed in when joinning the channel, otherwise, this method does not take effect.
  • One IRtcEngine instance supports preloading 20 channels at most. When exceeding this limit, the latest 20 preloaded channels take effect. Failing to preload a channel does not mean that you can't join a channel, nor will it increase the time of joining a channel.
Parameters
tokenThe token generated on your server for authentication. See .When the token for preloading channels expires, you can update the token based on the number of channels you preload.
  • When preloading one channel, calling this method to pass in the new token.
  • When preloading more than one channels:
    • If you use a wildcard token for all preloaded channels, call updatePreloadChannelToken to update the token.Note: When generating a wildcard token, ensure the user ID is not set as 0. See Secure authentication with tokens.
    • If you use different tokens to preload different channels, call this method to pass in your user ID, channel name and the new token.
channelIdThe channel name that you want to preload. This parameter signifies the channel in which users engage in real-time audio and video interaction. Under the premise of the same App ID, users who fill in the same channel ID enter the same channel for audio and video interaction. The string length must be less than 64 bytes. Supported characters (89 characters in total):
  • All lowercase English letters: a to z.
  • All uppercase English letters: A to Z.
  • All numeric characters: 0 to 9.
  • "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", "{", "}", "|", "~", ","
uidThe user ID. This parameter is used to identify the user in the channel for real-time audio and video interaction. You need to set and manage user IDs yourself, and ensure that each user ID in the same channel is unique. This parameter is a 32-bit unsigned integer. The value range is 1 to 2^32-1. If the user ID is not assigned (or set to 0), the SDK assigns a random user ID and onJoinChannelSuccess returns it in the callback. Your application must record and maintain the returned user ID, because the SDK does not do so.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -7: The IRtcEngine object has not been initialized. You need to initialize the IRtcEngine object before calling this method.
    • -102: The channel name is invalid. You need to pass in a valid channel name and join the channel again.

◆ preloadChannelWithUserAccount()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::preloadChannelWithUserAccount ( const char *  token,
const char *  channelId,
const char *  userAccount 
)
pure virtual

Preloads a channel with token, channelId, and userAccount.

When audience members need to switch between different channels frequently, calling the method can help shortening the time of joining a channel, thus reducing the time it takes for audience members to hear and see the host. If you join a preloaded channel, leave it and want to rejoin the same channel, you do not need to call this method unless the token for preloading the channel expires. Call timing: To improve the user experience of preloading channels, Agora recommends that before joining the channel, calling this method as early as possible once confirming the channel name and user information.

Note
  • When calling this method, ensure you set the user role as audience and do not set the audio scenario as AUDIO_SCENARIO_CHORUS, otherwise, this method does not take effect.
  • You also need to make sure that the User Account, channel ID and token passed in for preloading are the same as the values passed in when joining the channel, otherwise, this method does not take effect.
  • One IRtcEngine instance supports preloading 20 channels at most. When exceeding this limit, the latest 20 preloaded channels take effect. Failing to preload a channel does not mean that you can't join a channel, nor will it increase the time of joining a channel.
Parameters
tokenThe token generated on your server for authentication. See .When the token for preloading channels expires, you can update the token based on the number of channels you preload.
  • When preloading one channel, calling this method to pass in the new token.
  • When preloading more than one channels:
    • If you use a wildcard token for all preloaded channels, call updatePreloadChannelToken to update the token.Note: When generating a wildcard token, ensure the user ID is not set as 0. See Secure authentication with tokens.
    • If you use different tokens to preload different channels, call this method to pass in your user ID, channel name and the new token.
channelIdThe channel name that you want to preload. This parameter signifies the channel in which users engage in real-time audio and video interaction. Under the premise of the same App ID, users who fill in the same channel ID enter the same channel for audio and video interaction. The string length must be less than 64 bytes. Supported characters (89 characters in total):
  • All lowercase English letters: a to z.
  • All uppercase English letters: A to Z.
  • All numeric characters: 0 to 9.
  • "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", "{", "}", "|", "~", ","
userAccountThe user account. This parameter is used to identify the user in the channel for real-time audio and video engagement. You need to set and manage user accounts yourself and ensure that each user account in the same channel is unique. The maximum length of this parameter is 255 bytes. Ensure that you set this parameter and do not set it as NULL. Supported characters are as follows(89 in total):
  • The 26 lowercase English letters: a to z.
  • The 26 uppercase English letters: A to Z.
  • All numeric characters: 0 to 9.
  • Space
  • "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", "{", "}", "|", "~", ","

    • -2: The parameter is invalid. For example, the User Account is empty. You need to pass in a valid parameter and join the channel again.
    • -7: The IRtcEngine object has not been initialized. You need to initialize the IRtcEngine object before calling this method.
    • -102: The channel name is invalid. You need to pass in a valid channel name and join the channel again.

◆ updatePreloadChannelToken()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::updatePreloadChannelToken ( const char *  token)
pure virtual

Updates the wildcard token for preloading channels.

You need to maintain the life cycle of the wildcard token by yourself. When the token expires, you need to generate a new wildcard token and then call this method to pass in the new token. Applicable scenarios: In scenarios involving multiple channels, such as switching between different channels, using a wildcard token means users do not need to apply for a new token every time joinning a new channel, which can save users time for switching channels and reduce the pressure on your token server.

Parameters
tokenThe new token.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -2: The parameter is invalid. For example, the token is invalid. You need to pass in a valid parameter and join the channel again.
    • -7: The IRtcEngine object has not been initialized. You need to initialize the IRtcEngine object before calling this method.

◆ joinChannel() [1/2]

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::joinChannel ( const char *  token,
const char *  channelId,
const char *  info,
uid_t  uid 
)
pure virtual

Joins a channel.

By default, the user subscribes to the audio and video streams of all the other users in the channel, giving rise to usage and billings. To stop subscribing to a specified stream or all remote streams, call the corresponding mute methods. Call timing: Call this method after initialize. Related callbacks: A successful call of this method triggers the following callbacks:

  • The local client: The onJoinChannelSuccess and onConnectionStateChanged callbacks.
  • The remote client: The onUserJoined callback, if a user joining the channel in the COMMUNICATION profile, or a host joining a channel in the LIVE_BROADCASTING profile. When the connection between the local client and Agora's server is interrupted due to poor network conditions, the SDK tries reconnecting to the server. When the local client successfully rejoins the channel, the SDK triggers the onRejoinChannelSuccess callback on the local client.
Note
  • This method only supports users joining one channel at a time.
  • Users with different App IDs cannot call each other.
  • Before joining a channel, ensure that the App ID you use to generate a token is the same as that you pass in the initialize method; otherwise, you may fail to join the channel with the token.
Parameters
tokenThe token generated on your server for authentication. See .Note:
  • (Recommended) If your project has enabled the security mode (using APP ID and Token for authentication), this parameter is required.
  • If you have only enabled the testing mode (using APP ID for authentication), this parameter is optional. You will automatically exit the channel 24 hours after successfully joining in.
  • If you need to join different channels at the same time or switch between channels, Agora recommends using a wildcard token so that you don't need to apply for a new token every time joining a channel. See Secure authentication with tokens.
channelIdThe channel name. This parameter signifies the channel in which users engage in real-time audio and video interaction. Under the premise of the same App ID, users who fill in the same channel ID enter the same channel for audio and video interaction. The string length must be less than 64 bytes. Supported characters (89 characters in total):
  • All lowercase English letters: a to z.
  • All uppercase English letters: A to Z.
  • All numeric characters: 0 to 9.
  • "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", "{", "}", "|", "~", ","
info(Optional) Reserved for future use.
uidThe user ID. This parameter is used to identify the user in the channel for real-time audio and video interaction. You need to set and manage user IDs yourself, and ensure that each user ID in the same channel is unique. This parameter is a 32-bit unsigned integer. The value range is 1 to 2^32-1. If the user ID is not assigned (or set to 0), the SDK assigns a random user ID and onJoinChannelSuccess returns it in the callback. Your application must record and maintain the returned user ID, because the SDK does not do so.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -2: The parameter is invalid. For example, the token is invalid, the uid parameter is not set to an integer, or the value of a member in ChannelMediaOptions is invalid. You need to pass in a valid parameter and join the channel again.
    • -3: Fails to initialize the IRtcEngine object. You need to reinitialize the IRtcEngine object.
    • -7: The IRtcEngine object has not been initialized. You need to initialize the IRtcEngine object before calling this method.
    • -8: The internal state of the IRtcEngine object is wrong. The typical cause is that after calling startEchoTest to start a call loop test, you call this method to join the channel without calling stopEchoTest to stop the test. You need to call stopEchoTest before calling this method.
    • -17: The request to join the channel is rejected. The typical cause is that the user is already in the channel. Agora recommends that you use the onConnectionStateChanged callback to see whether the user is in the channel. Do not call this method to join the channel unless you receive the CONNECTION_STATE_DISCONNECTED (1) state.
    • -102: The channel name is invalid. You need to pass in a valid channel name in channelId to rejoin the channel.
    • -121: The user ID is invalid. You need to pass in a valid user ID in uid to rejoin the channel.

◆ joinChannel() [2/2]

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::joinChannel ( const char *  token,
const char *  channelId,
uid_t  uid,
const ChannelMediaOptions options 
)
pure virtual

Joins a channel with media options.

Compared to joinChannel(const char* token, const char* channelId, const char* info, uid_t uid), this method has the options parameter which is used to set media options, such as whether to publish audio and video streams within a channel, or whether to automatically subscribe to the audio and video streams of all remote users when joining a channel. By default, the user subscribes to the audio and video streams of all the other users in the channel, giving rise to usage and billings. To stop subscribing to other streams, set the options parameter or call the corresponding mute methods. Call timing: Call this method after initialize. Related callbacks: A successful call of this method triggers the following callbacks:

  • The local client: The onJoinChannelSuccess and onConnectionStateChanged callbacks.
  • The remote client: The onUserJoined callback, if a user joining the channel in the COMMUNICATION profile, or a host joining a channel in the LIVE_BROADCASTING profile. When the connection between the local client and Agora's server is interrupted due to poor network conditions, the SDK tries reconnecting to the server. When the local client successfully rejoins the channel, the SDK triggers the onRejoinChannelSuccess callback on the local client.
Note
  • This method only supports users joining one channel at a time.
  • Users with different App IDs cannot call each other.
  • Before joining a channel, ensure that the App ID you use to generate a token is the same as that you pass in the initialize method; otherwise, you may fail to join the channel with the token.
Parameters
tokenThe token generated on your server for authentication. See .Note:
  • (Recommended) If your project has enabled the security mode (using APP ID and Token for authentication), this parameter is required.
  • If you have only enabled the testing mode (using APP ID for authentication), this parameter is optional. You will automatically exit the channel 24 hours after successfully joining in.
  • If you need to join different channels at the same time or switch between channels, Agora recommends using a wildcard token so that you don't need to apply for a new token every time joining a channel. See Secure authentication with tokens.
channelIdThe channel name. This parameter signifies the channel in which users engage in real-time audio and video interaction. Under the premise of the same App ID, users who fill in the same channel ID enter the same channel for audio and video interaction. The string length must be less than 64 bytes. Supported characters (89 characters in total):
  • All lowercase English letters: a to z.
  • All uppercase English letters: A to Z.
  • All numeric characters: 0 to 9.
  • "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", "{", "}", "|", "~", ","
uidThe user ID. This parameter is used to identify the user in the channel for real-time audio and video interaction. You need to set and manage user IDs yourself, and ensure that each user ID in the same channel is unique. This parameter is a 32-bit unsigned integer. The value range is 1 to 2^32-1. If the user ID is not assigned (or set to 0), the SDK assigns a random user ID and onJoinChannelSuccess returns it in the callback. Your application must record and maintain the returned user ID, because the SDK does not do so.
optionsThe channel media options. See ChannelMediaOptions.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -2: The parameter is invalid. For example, the token is invalid, the uid parameter is not set to an integer, or the value of a member in ChannelMediaOptions is invalid. You need to pass in a valid parameter and join the channel again.
    • -3: Fails to initialize the IRtcEngine object. You need to reinitialize the IRtcEngine object.
    • -7: The IRtcEngine object has not been initialized. You need to initialize the IRtcEngine object before calling this method.
    • -8: The internal state of the IRtcEngine object is wrong. The typical cause is that after calling startEchoTest to start a call loop test, you call this method to join the channel without calling stopEchoTest to stop the test. You need to call stopEchoTest before calling this method.
    • -17: The request to join the channel is rejected. The typical cause is that the user is already in the channel. Agora recommends that you use the onConnectionStateChanged callback to see whether the user is in the channel. Do not call this method to join the channel unless you receive the CONNECTION_STATE_DISCONNECTED (1) state.
    • -102: The channel name is invalid. You need to pass in a valid channel name in channelId to rejoin the channel.
    • -121: The user ID is invalid. You need to pass in a valid user ID in uid to rejoin the channel.

◆ updateChannelMediaOptions()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::updateChannelMediaOptions ( const ChannelMediaOptions options)
pure virtual

Updates the channel media options after joining the channel.

Parameters
optionsThe channel media options. See ChannelMediaOptions.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -2: The value of a member in ChannelMediaOptions is invalid. For example, the token or the user ID is invalid. You need to fill in a valid parameter.
    • -7: The IRtcEngine object has not been initialized. You need to initialize the IRtcEngine object before calling this method.
    • -8: The internal state of the IRtcEngine object is wrong. The possible reason is that the user is not in the channel. Agora recommends that you use the onConnectionStateChanged callback to see whether the user is in the channel. If you receive the CONNECTION_STATE_DISCONNECTED (1) or CONNECTION_STATE_FAILED (5) state, the user is not in the channel. You need to call joinChannel(const char* token, const char* channelId, uid_t uid, const ChannelMediaOptions& options) to join a channel before calling this method.

◆ leaveChannel() [1/2]

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::leaveChannel ( )
pure virtual

Leaves a channel.

After calling this method, the SDK terminates the audio and video interaction, leaves the current channel, and releases all resources related to the session. After joining the channel, you must call this method to end the call; otherwise, the next call cannot be started. Call timing: Call this method after joining a channel. Related callbacks: A successful call of this method triggers the following callbacks:

  • The local client: The onLeaveChannel callback will be triggered.
  • The remote client: The onUserOffline callback will be triggered after the remote host leaves the channel.
Note
If you call release immediately after calling this method, the SDK does not trigger the onLeaveChannel callback.
  • This method call is asynchronous. When this method returns, it does not necessarily mean that the user has left the channel.
  • If you have called joinChannelEx to join multiple channels, calling this method will leave all the channels you joined.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -1: A general error occurs (no specified reason).
    • -2: The parameter is invalid.
    • -7: The SDK is not initialized.

◆ leaveChannel() [2/2]

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::leaveChannel ( const LeaveChannelOptions options)
pure virtual

Sets channel options and leaves the channel.

After calling this method, the SDK terminates the audio and video interaction, leaves the current channel, and releases all resources related to the session. After joining a channel, you must call this method or leaveChannel() to end the call, otherwise, the next call cannot be started. If you have called joinChannelEx to join multiple channels, calling this method will leave all the channels you joined. Call timing: Call this method after joining a channel. Related callbacks: A successful call of this method triggers the following callbacks:

  • The local client: The onLeaveChannel callback will be triggered.
  • The remote client: The onUserOffline callback will be triggered after the remote host leaves the channel.
Note
If you call release immediately after calling this method, the SDK does not trigger the onLeaveChannel callback. This method call is asynchronous. When this method returns, it does not necessarily mean that the user has left the channel.
Parameters
optionsThe options for leaving the channel. See LeaveChannelOptions.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ renewToken()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::renewToken ( const char *  token)
pure virtual

This method is used to update the token. After successfully calling this method, the SDK will trigger the onRenewTokenResult callback. A token will expire after a certain period of time, at which point the SDK will be unable to establish a connection with the server. Call timing: In any of the following cases, Agora recommends that you generate a new token on your server and then call this method to renew your token:

  • Receiving the onTokenPrivilegeWillExpire callback reporting the token is about to expire.
  • Receiving the onRequestToken callback reporting the token has expired.
  • Receiving the onConnectionStateChanged callback reporting CONNECTION_CHANGED_TOKEN_EXPIRED (9).
Parameters
tokenThe new token.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -2: The parameter is invalid. For example, the token is empty.
    • -7: The IRtcEngine object has not been initialized. You need to initialize the IRtcEngine object before calling this method.
    • 110: Invalid token. Ensure the following:
      • The user ID specified when generating the token is consistent with the user ID used when joining the channel.
      • The generated token is the same as the token passed in to join the channel.

◆ setChannelProfile()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setChannelProfile ( CHANNEL_PROFILE_TYPE  profile)
pure virtual

Sets the channel profile.

You can call this method to set the channel profile. The SDK adopts different optimization strategies for different channel profiles. For example, in a live streaming scenario, the SDK prioritizes video quality. After initializing the SDK, the default channel profile is the live streaming profile. Call timing: Call this method before joining a channel.

Note
To ensure the quality of real-time communication, Agora recommends that all users in a channel use the same channel profile. In different channel scenarios, the default audio routing of the SDK is different. See setDefaultAudioRouteToSpeakerphone.
Parameters
profileThe channel profile. See CHANNEL_PROFILE_TYPE.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -2: The parameter is invalid.
    • -7: The SDK is not initialized.

◆ setClientRole() [1/2]

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setClientRole ( CLIENT_ROLE_TYPE  role)
pure virtual

Sets the client role.

By default,the SDK sets the user role as audience. You can call this method to set the user role as host. The user role ( roles ) determines the users' permissions at the SDK level, including whether they can publish audio and video streams in a channel. Call timing: You can call this method either before or after joining a channel. If you call this method to set the user role as the host before joining the channel and set the local video property through the setupLocalVideo method, the local video preview is automatically enabled when the user joins the channel. If you call this method to set the user role after joining a channel, the SDK will automatically call the muteLocalAudioStream and muteLocalVideoStream method to change the state for publishing audio and video streams. Related callbacks: If you call this method to switch the user role after joining the channel, the SDK triggers the following callbacks:

  • Triggers onClientRoleChanged on the local client.Note: Calling this method before joining a channel and set the role to AUDIENCE will trigger this callback as well.
  • Triggers onUserJoined or onUserOffline on the remote client. If you call this method to set the user role after joining a channel but encounter a failure, the SDK trigger the onClientRoleChangeFailed callback to report the reason for the failure and the current user role.
Note
When calling this method before joining a channel and setting the user role to BROADCASTER, the onClientRoleChanged callback will not be triggered on the local client. Calling this method before joining a channel and set the role to AUDIENCE will trigger this callback as well.
Parameters
roleThe user role. See CLIENT_ROLE_TYPE. Note: If you set the user role as an audience member, you cannot publish audio and video streams in the channel. If you want to publish media streams in a channel during live streaming, ensure you set the user role as broadcaster.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -1: A general error occurs (no specified reason).
    • -2: The parameter is invalid.
    • -7: The SDK is not initialized.

◆ setClientRole() [2/2]

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setClientRole ( CLIENT_ROLE_TYPE  role,
const ClientRoleOptions options 
)
pure virtual

Sets the user role and the audience latency level in a live streaming scenario.

By default,the SDK sets the user role as audience. You can call this method to set the user role as host. The user role ( roles ) determines the users' permissions at the SDK level, including whether they can publish audio and video streams in a channel. The difference between this method and setClientRole(CLIENT_ROLE_TYPE role) is that, this method supports setting the audienceLatencyLevel. audienceLatencyLevel needs to be used together with role to determine the level of service that users can enjoy within their permissions. For example, an audience member can choose to receive remote streams with low latency or ultra-low latency. Call timing: You can call this method either before or after joining a channel. If you call this method to set the user role as the host before joining the channel and set the local video property through the setupLocalVideo method, the local video preview is automatically enabled when the user joins the channel. If you call this method to set the user role after joining a channel, the SDK will automatically call the muteLocalAudioStream and muteLocalVideoStream method to change the state for publishing audio and video streams. Related callbacks: If you call this method to switch the user role after joining the channel, the SDK triggers the following callbacks:

  • Triggers onClientRoleChanged on the local client.Note: Calling this method before joining a channel and set the role to AUDIENCE will trigger this callback as well.
  • Triggers onUserJoined or onUserOffline on the remote client. If you call this method to set the user role after joining a channel but encounter a failure, the SDK trigger the onClientRoleChangeFailed callback to report the reason for the failure and the current user role.
Note
When the user role is set to host, the audience latency level can only be set to AUDIENCE_LATENCY_LEVEL_ULTRA_LOW_LATENCY. When calling this method before joining a channel and setting the role to BROADCASTER, the onClientRoleChanged callback will not be triggered on the local client. Calling this method before joining a channel and set the role to AUDIENCE will trigger this callback as well.
Parameters
roleThe user role. See CLIENT_ROLE_TYPE. Note: If you set the user role as an audience member, you cannot publish audio and video streams in the channel. If you want to publish media streams in a channel during live streaming, ensure you set the user role as broadcaster.
optionsThe detailed options of a user, including the user level. See ClientRoleOptions.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -1: A general error occurs (no specified reason).
    • -2: The parameter is invalid.
    • -5: The request is rejected.
    • -7: The SDK is not initialized.

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::enableVirtualBackground ( bool  enabled,
VirtualBackgroundSource  backgroundSource,
SegmentationProperty  segproperty,
agora::media::MEDIA_SOURCE_TYPE  type = agora::media::PRIMARY_CAMERA_SOURCE 
)
pure virtual

Enables/Disables the virtual background.

Since
v3.7.200

The virtual background feature enables the local user to replace their original background with a static image, dynamic video, blurred background, or portrait-background segmentation to achieve picture-in-picture effect. Once the virtual background feature is enabled, all users in the channel can see the custom background. Call this method after calling enableVideo or startPreview(VIDEO_SOURCE_TYPE sourceType).

Note
  • Using a video as a your virtual background will lead to continuous increase in memory usage, which may cause issues such as app crashes. Therefore,it is recommended to reduce the resolution and frame rate of the video when using it.
  • This feature has high requirements on device performance. When calling this method, the SDK automatically checks the capabilities of the current device. Agora recommends you use virtual background on devices with the following processors:
    • Snapdragon 700 series 750G and later
    • Snapdragon 800 series 835 and later
    • Dimensity 700 series 720 and later
    • Kirin 800 series 810 and later
    • Kirin 900 series 980 and later
    • Devices with an i5 CPU and better
    • Devices with an A9 chip and better, as follows:
      • iPhone 6S and later
      • iPad Air 3rd generation and later
      • iPad 5th generation and later
      • iPad Pro 1st generation and later
      • iPad mini 5th generation and later
  • Agora recommends that you use this feature in scenarios that meet the following conditions:
    • A high-definition camera device is used, and the environment is uniformly lit.
    • There are few objects in the captured video. Portraits are half-length and unobstructed. Ensure that the background is a solid color that is different from the color of the user's clothing.
  • This method relies on the virtual background dynamic library libagora_segmentation_extension.dll. If the dynamic library is deleted, the function cannot be enabled normally.
Parameters
enabledWhether to enable virtual background:
  • true: Enable virtual background.
  • false: Disable virtual background.
backgroundSourceThe custom background. See VirtualBackgroundSource. To adapt the resolution of the custom background image to that of the video captured by the SDK, the SDK scales and crops the custom background image while ensuring that the content of the custom background image is not distorted.
segpropertyProcessing properties for background images. See SegmentationProperty.
typeThe type of the media source to which the filter effect is applied. See MEDIA_SOURCE_TYPE.Attention: In this method, this parameter supports only the following two settings:
  • Use the default value PRIMARY_CAMERA_SOURCE if you use camera to capture local video.
  • Set this parameter to CUSTOM_VIDEO_SOURCE if you use custom video source.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -4: The device capabilities do not meet the requirements for the virtual background feature. Agora recommends you try it on devices with higher performance.

◆ setupRemoteVideo()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setupRemoteVideo ( const VideoCanvas canvas)
pure virtual

Initializes the video view of a remote user.

This method initializes the video view of a remote stream on the local device. It affects only the video view that the local user sees. Call this method to bind the remote video stream to a video view and to set the rendering and mirror modes of the video view. You need to specify the ID of the remote user in this method. If the remote user ID is unknown to the application, set it after the app receives the onUserJoined callback. To unbind the remote user from the view, set the view parameter to NULL. Once the remote user leaves the channel, the SDK unbinds the remote user. In the scenarios of custom layout for mixed videos on the mobile end, you can call this method and set a separate view for rendering each sub-video stream of the mixed video stream.

Note
  • To update the rendering or mirror mode of the remote video view during a call, use the setRemoteRenderMode method.
  • When using the recording service, the app does not need to bind a view, as it does not send a video stream. If your app does not recognize the recording service, bind the remote user to the view when the SDK triggers the onFirstRemoteVideoDecoded callback.
Parameters
canvasThe remote video view and settings. See VideoCanvas.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ setupLocalVideo()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setupLocalVideo ( const VideoCanvas canvas)
pure virtual

Initializes the local video view.

This method initializes the video view of a local stream on the local device. It only affects the video seen by the local user and does not impact the publishing of the local video. Call this method to bind the local video stream to a video view ( view ) and to set the rendering and mirror modes of the video view. The binding remains valid after leaving the channel. To stop rendering or unbind the local video from the view, set view as NULL. Applicable scenarios: After initialization, call this method to set the local video and then join the channel. In real-time interactive scenarios, if you need to simultaneously view multiple preview frames in the local video preview, and each frame is at a different observation position along the video link, you can repeatedly call this method to set different view s and set different observation positions for each view. For example, by setting the video source to the camera and then configuring two view s with position setting to POSITION_POST_CAPTURER_ORIGIN and POSITION_POST_CAPTURER, you can simultaneously preview the raw, unprocessed video frame and the video frame that has undergone preprocessing (image enhancement effects, virtual background, watermark) in the local video preview. Call timing: You can call this method either before or after joining a channel.

Note
To update only the rendering or mirror mode of the local video view during a call, call setLocalRenderMode(media::base::RENDER_MODE_TYPE renderMode, VIDEO_MIRROR_MODE_TYPE mirrorMode) instead.
Parameters
canvasThe local video view and settings. See VideoCanvas.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ setVideoScenario()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setVideoScenario ( VIDEO_APPLICATION_SCENARIO_TYPE  scenarioType)
pure virtual

Sets video application scenarios.

Since
v4.2.0

After successfully calling this method, the SDK will automatically enable the best practice strategies and adjust key performance metrics based on the specified scenario, to optimize the video experience.

Note
Call this method before joining a channel.
Parameters
scenarioTypeThe type of video application scenario. See VIDEO_APPLICATION_SCENARIO_TYPE.APPLICATION_SCENARIO_MEETING (1) is suitable for meeting scenarios. The SDK automatically enables the following strategies:
  • In meeting scenarios where low-quality video streams are required to have a high bitrate, the SDK automatically enables multiple technologies used to deal with network congestions, to enhance the performance of the low-quality streams and to ensure the smooth reception by subscribers.
  • The SDK monitors the number of subscribers to the high-quality video stream in real time and dynamically adjusts its configuration based on the number of subscribers.
    • If nobody subscribers to the high-quality stream, the SDK automatically reduces its bitrate and frame rate to save upstream bandwidth.
    • If someone subscribes to the high-quality stream, the SDK resets the high-quality stream to the VideoEncoderConfiguration configuration used in the most recent calling of setVideoEncoderConfiguration. If no configuration has been set by the user previously, the following values are used:
      • Resolution: (Windows and macOS) 1280 × 720; (Android and iOS) 960 × 540
      • Frame rate: 15 fps
      • Bitrate: (Windows and macOS) 1600 Kbps; (Android and iOS) 1000 Kbps
  • The SDK monitors the number of subscribers to the low-quality video stream in real time and dynamically enables or disables it based on the number of subscribers.Note: If the user has called setDualStreamMode(SIMULCAST_STREAM_MODE mode, const SimulcastStreamConfig& streamConfig) to set that never send low-quality video stream ( DISABLE_SIMULCAST_STREAM ), the dynamic adjustment of the low-quality stream in meeting scenarios will not take effect.
    • If nobody subscribes to the low-quality stream, the SDK automatically disables it to save upstream bandwidth.
    • If someone subscribes to the low-quality stream, the SDK enables the low-quality stream and resets it to the SimulcastStreamConfig configuration used in the most recent calling of setDualStreamMode(SIMULCAST_STREAM_MODE mode, const SimulcastStreamConfig& streamConfig). If no configuration has been set by the user previously, the following values are used:
      • Resolution: 480 × 272
      • Frame rate: 15 fps
      • Bitrate: 500 Kbps APPLICATION_SCENARIO_1V1 (2) This is applicable to the one to one live scenario. To meet the requirements for low latency and high-quality video in this scenario, the SDK optimizes its strategies, improving performance in terms of video quality, first frame rendering, latency on mid-to-low-end devices, and smoothness under weak network conditions.Attention: This enumeration value is only applicable to the broadcaster vs. broadcaster scenario. APPLICATION_SCENARIO_LIVESHOW (3) This is applicable to the show room scenario. In this scenario, fast video rendering and high image quality are crucial. The SDK implements several performance optimizations, including automatically enabling accelerated audio and video frame rendering to minimize first-frame latency (no need to call enableInstantMediaRendering ), and B-frame encoding to achieve better image quality and bandwidth efficiency. The SDK also provides enhanced video quality and smooth playback, even in poor network conditions or on lower-end devices.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -1: A general error occurs (no specified reason).
    • -4: Video application scenarios are not supported. Possible reasons include that you use the Voice SDK instead of the Video SDK.
    • -7: The IRtcEngine object has not been initialized. You need to initialize the IRtcEngine object before calling this method.

The audio module is enabled by default After calling disableAudio to disable the audio module, you can call this method to re-enable it. Call timing: This method can be called either before or after joining the channel. It is still valid after one leaves channel.

Note
  • Calling this method will reset the entire engine, resulting in a slow response time. You can use the following methods to independently control a specific function of the audio module based on your actual needs:
    • enableLocalAudio: Whether to enable the microphone to create the local audio stream.
    • muteLocalAudioStream: Whether to publish the local audio stream.
    • muteRemoteAudioStream: Whether to subscribe and play the remote audio stream.
    • muteAllRemoteAudioStreams: Whether to subscribe to and play all remote audio streams.
  • A successful call of this method resets enableLocalAudio, muteRemoteAudioStream, and muteAllRemoteAudioStreams. Proceed it with caution.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ disableAudio()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::disableAudio ( )
pure virtual

Disables the audio module.

The audio module is enabled by default, and you can call this method to disable the audio module. Call timing: This method can be called either before or after joining the channel. It is still valid after one leaves channel.

Note
This method resets the internal engine and takes some time to take effect. Agora recommends using the following API methods to control the audio modules separately:
  • enableLocalAudio: Whether to enable the microphone to create the local audio stream.
  • enableLoopbackRecording: Whether to enable loopback audio capturing.
  • muteLocalAudioStream: Whether to publish the local audio stream.

◆ setAudioProfile() [1/2]

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setAudioProfile ( AUDIO_PROFILE_TYPE  profile,
AUDIO_SCENARIO_TYPE  scenario 
)
pure virtual

Sets the audio profile and audio scenario.

Deprecated:
This method is deprecated. You can use the setAudioProfile(AUDIO_PROFILE_TYPE profile) = 0 method instead. To set the audio scenario, call the initialize method and pass value in the audioScenario member in the RtcEngineContext struct.

Applicable scenarios: This method is suitable for various audio scenarios. You can choose as needed. For example, in scenarios with high audio quality requirements such as music teaching, it is recommended to set profile to AUDIO_PROFILE_MUSIC_HIGH_QUALITY(4) and scenario to AUDIO_SCENARIO_GAME_STREAMING(3). Call timing: You can call this method either before or after joining a channel.

Note
Due to iOS system restrictions, some audio routes cannot be recognized in call volume mode. Therefore, if you need to use an external sound card, it is recommended to set the audio scenario to AUDIO_SCENARIO_GAME_STREAMING(3). In this scenario, the SDK will switch to media volume to avoid this issue.

◆ enableLocalAudio()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::enableLocalAudio ( bool  enabled)
pure virtual

Enables or disables the local audio capture.

The audio function is enabled by default when users joining a channel. This method disables or re-enables the local audio function to stop or restart local audio capturing. The difference between this method and muteLocalAudioStream are as follows:

  • enableLocalAudio: Disables or re-enables the local audio capturing and processing. If you disable or re-enable local audio capturing using the enableLocalAudio method, the local user might hear a pause in the remote audio playback.
  • muteLocalAudioStream: Sends or stops sending the local audio streams without affecting the audio capture status. Applicable scenarios: This method does not affect receiving the remote audio streams. enableLocalAudio (false) is suitable for scenarios where the user wants to receive remote audio streams without sending locally captured audio. Call timing: You can call this method either before or after joining a channel. Calling it before joining a channel only sets the device state, and it takes effect immediately after you join the channel. Related callbacks: Once the local audio function is disabled or re-enabled, the SDK triggers the onLocalAudioStateChanged callback, which reports LOCAL_AUDIO_STREAM_STATE_STOPPED (0) or LOCAL_AUDIO_STREAM_STATE_RECORDING (1).
Parameters
enabled
  • true: (Default) Re-enable the local audio function, that is, to start the local audio capturing device (for example, the microphone).
  • false: Disable the local audio function, that is, to stop local audio capturing.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ muteLocalAudioStream()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::muteLocalAudioStream ( bool  mute)
pure virtual

Stops or resumes publishing the local audio stream.

This method is used to control whether to publish the locally captured audio stream. If you call this method to stop publishing locally captured audio streams, the audio capturing device will still work and won't be affected. Call timing: This method can be called either before or after joining the channel. Related callbacks: After successfully calling this method, the local end triggers callback onAudioPublishStateChanged; the remote end triggers onUserMuteAudio and onRemoteAudioStateChanged callbacks.

Parameters
muteWhether to stop publishing the local audio stream:
  • true: Stops publishing the local audio stream.
  • false: (Default) Resumes publishing the local audio stream.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ muteAllRemoteAudioStreams()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::muteAllRemoteAudioStreams ( bool  mute)
pure virtual

Stops or resumes subscribing to the audio streams of all remote users.

Stops or resumes receiving all remote audio stream.

This method works for all remote users that join or will join a channel using the joinChannel method. It is equivalent to the autoSubscribeAudio member in the ChannelMediaOptions class.

  • Ensure that you call this method after joining a channel.
  • If you call muteAllRemoteAudioStreams(true) after joining a channel, the local use stops receiving any audio stream from any user in the channel, including any user who joins the channel after you call this method.
  • If you call muteAllRemoteAudioStreams(true) after leaving a channel, the local user does not receive any audio stream the next time the user joins a channel.

After you successfully call muteAllRemoteAudioStreams(true), you can take the following actions:

  • To resume receiving all remote audio streams, call muteAllRemoteAudioStreams(false).
  • To resume receiving the audio stream of a specified user, call muteRemoteAudioStream(uid, false), where uid is the ID of the user whose audio stream you want to resume receiving.
Note
  • The result of calling this method is affected by calling enableAudio and disableAudio. Settings in muteAllRemoteAudioStreams stop taking effect if either of the following occurs:
    • Calling enableAudio after muteAllRemoteAudioStreams(true).
    • Calling disableAudio after muteAllRemoteAudioStreams(false).
  • This method only works for the channel created by calling joinChannel. To set whether to receive remote audio streams for a specific channel, Agora recommends using autoSubscribeAudio in the ChannelMediaOptions class.
Parameters
muteWhether to stop receiving remote audio streams:
  • true: Stop receiving any remote audio stream.
  • false: (Default) Resume receiving all remote audio streams.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

After successfully calling this method, the local user stops or resumes subscribing to the audio streams of all remote users, including all subsequent users. Call timing: Call this method after joining a channel.

Note
If you call this method and then call enableAudio or disableAudio, the latest call will prevail. By default, the SDK subscribes to the audio streams of all remote users when joining a channel. To modify this behavior, you can set autoSubscribeAudio to false when calling joinChannel(const char* token, const char* channelId, uid_t uid, const ChannelMediaOptions& options) to join the channel, which will cancel the subscription to the audio streams of all users upon joining the channel.
Parameters
muteWhether to stop subscribing to the audio streams of all remote users:
  • true: Stops subscribing to the audio streams of all remote users.
  • false: (Default) Subscribes to the audio streams of all remote users by default.
Returns
  • 0: Success.

  • < 0: Failure.

◆ muteLocalVideoStream()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::muteLocalVideoStream ( bool  mute)
pure virtual

Stops or resumes publishing the local video stream.

This method is used to control whether to publish the locally captured video stream. If you call this method to stop publishing locally captured video streams, the video capturing device will still work and won't be affected. Compared to enableLocalVideo (false), which can also cancel the publishing of local video stream by turning off the local video stream capture, this method responds faster. Call timing: This method can be called either before or after joining the channel. Related callbacks: After successfully calling this method, the local end triggers callback onVideoPublishStateChanged; the remote end triggers onUserMuteVideo and onRemoteVideoStateChanged callbacks.

Parameters
muteWhether to stop publishing the local video stream.
  • true: Stop publishing the local video stream.
  • false: (Default) Publish the local video stream.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ enableLocalVideo()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::enableLocalVideo ( bool  enabled)
pure virtual

Enables/Disables the local video capture.

This method disables or re-enables the local video capture, and does not affect receiving the remote video stream. After calling enableVideo, the local video capture is enabled by default. If you call enableLocalVideo (false) to disable local video capture within the channel, it also simultaneously stops publishing the video stream within the channel. If you want to restart video catpure, you can call enableLocalVideo (true) and then call updateChannelMediaOptions to set the options parameter to publish the locally captured video stream in the channel. After the local video capturer is successfully disabled or re-enabled, the SDK triggers the onRemoteVideoStateChanged callback on the remote client.

Note
  • You can call this method either before or after joining a channel. However, if you call it before joining, the settings will only take effect once you have joined the channel.
  • This method enables the internal engine and is valid after leaving the channel.
Parameters
enabledWhether to enable the local video capture.
  • true: (Default) Enable the local video capture.
  • false: Disable the local video capture. Once the local video is disabled, the remote users cannot receive the video stream of the local user, while the local user can still receive the video streams of remote users. When set to false, this method does not require a local camera.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ setRemoteDefaultVideoStreamType()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setRemoteDefaultVideoStreamType ( VIDEO_STREAM_TYPE  streamType)
pure virtual

Sets the default video stream type to subscribe to.

Depending on the default behavior of the sender and the specific settings when calling setDualStreamMode(SIMULCAST_STREAM_MODE mode, const SimulcastStreamConfig& streamConfig), the scenarios for the receiver calling this method are as follows:

  • The SDK enables low-quality video stream adaptive mode ( AUTO_SIMULCAST_STREAM ) on the sender side by default, meaning only the high-quality video stream is transmitted. Only the receiver with the role of the **host**can call this method to initiate a low-quality video stream request. Once the sender receives the request, it starts automatically sending the low-quality video stream. At this point, all users in the channel can call this method to switch to low-quality video stream subscription mode.
  • If the sender calls setDualStreamMode(SIMULCAST_STREAM_MODE mode, const SimulcastStreamConfig& streamConfig) and sets mode to DISABLE_SIMULCAST_STREAM (never send low-quality video stream), then calling this method will have no effect.
  • If the sender calls setDualStreamMode(SIMULCAST_STREAM_MODE mode, const SimulcastStreamConfig& streamConfig) and sets mode to ENABLE_SIMULCAST_STREAM (always send low-quality video stream), both the host and audience receivers can call this method to switch to low-quality video stream subscription mode. The SDK will dynamically adjust the size of the corresponding video stream based on the size of the video window to save bandwidth and computing resources. The default aspect ratio of the low-quality video stream is the same as that of the high-quality video stream. According to the current aspect ratio of the high-quality video stream, the system will automatically allocate the resolution, frame rate, and bitrate of the low-quality video stream. Call timing: Call this method before joining a channel. The SDK does not support changing the default subscribed video stream type after joining a channel.
Note
If you call both this method and setRemoteVideoStreamType, the setting of setRemoteVideoStreamType takes effect.
Parameters
streamTypeThe default video-stream type. See VIDEO_STREAM_TYPE.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setRemoteVideoSubscriptionOptions ( uid_t  uid,
const VideoSubscriptionOptions options 
)
pure virtual

Options for subscribing to remote video streams.

When a remote user has enabled dual-stream mode, you can call this method to choose the option for subscribing to the video streams sent by the remote user. The default subscription behavior of the SDK for remote video streams depends on the type of registered video observer:

  • If the IVideoFrameObserver observer is registered, the default is to subscribe to both raw data and encoded data.
  • If the IVideoEncodedFrameObserver observer is registered, the default is to subscribe only to the encoded data.
  • If both types of observers are registered, the default behavior follows the last registered video observer. For example, if the last registered observer is the IVideoFrameObserver observer, the default is to subscribe to both raw data and encoded data. If you want to modify the default behavior, or set different subscription options for different uids, you can call this method to set it.
Parameters
uidThe user ID of the remote user.
optionsThe video subscription options. See VideoSubscriptionOptions.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

bool  reportVad 
)
pure virtual

Enables the reporting of users' volume indication.

This method enables the SDK to regularly report the volume information to the app of the local user who sends a stream and remote users (three users at most) whose instantaneous volumes are the highest. Call timing: This method can be called either before or after joining the channel. Related callbacks: The SDK triggers the onAudioVolumeIndication callback according to the interval you set if this method is successfully called and there are users publishing streams in the channel.

Parameters
intervalSets the time interval between two consecutive volume indications:
  • ≤ 0: Disables the volume indication.
  • > 0: Time interval (ms) between two consecutive volume indications. Ensure this parameter is set to a value greater than 10, otherwise you will not receive the onAudioVolumeIndication callback. Agora recommends that this value is set as greater than 100.
smoothThe smoothing factor that sets the sensitivity of the audio volume indicator. The value ranges between 0 and 10. The recommended value is 3. The greater the value, the more sensitive the indicator.
reportVad- true: Enables the voice activity detection of the local user. Once it is enabled, the vad parameter of the onAudioVolumeIndication callback reports the voice activity status of the local user.
  • false: (Default) Disables the voice activity detection of the local user. Once it is disabled, the vad parameter of the onAudioVolumeIndication callback does not report the voice activity status of the local user, except for the scenario where the engine automatically detects the voice activity of the local user.

◆ setDualStreamMode() [1/2]

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::setDualStreamMode ( SIMULCAST_STREAM_MODE  mode)
pure virtual

Sets the dual-stream mode on the sender side.

The SDK defaults to enabling low-quality video stream adaptive mode ( AUTO_SIMULCAST_STREAM ) on the sender side, which means the sender does not actively send low-quality video stream. The receiving end with the role of the host can initiate a low-quality video stream request by calling setRemoteVideoStreamType, and upon receiving the request, the sending end automatically starts sending low-quality stream.

  • If you want to modify this behavior, you can call this method and set mode to DISABLE_SIMULCAST_STREAM (never send low-quality video streams) or ENABLE_SIMULCAST_STREAM (always send low-quality video streams).
  • If you want to restore the default behavior after making changes, you can call this method again with mode set to AUTO_SIMULCAST_STREAM.
Note
The difference and connection between this method and enableDualStreamMode(bool enabled) is as follows:
  • When calling this method and setting mode to DISABLE_SIMULCAST_STREAM, it has the same effect as enableDualStreamMode(bool enabled) (false).
  • When calling this method and setting mode to ENABLE_SIMULCAST_STREAM, it has the same effect as enableDualStreamMode(bool enabled) (true).
  • Both methods can be called before and after joining a channel. If both methods are used, the settings in the method called later takes precedence.

The receiving end with the role of the host can initiate a low-quality video stream request by calling setRemoteVideoStreamType, and upon receiving the request, the sending end automatically starts sending low-quality stream.

  • If you want to modify this behavior, you can call this method and set mode to DISABLE_SIMULCAST_STREAM (never send low-quality video streams) or ENABLE_SIMULCAST_STREAM (always send low-quality video streams).
  • If you want to restore the default behavior after making changes, you can call this method again with mode set to AUTO_SIMULCAST_STREAM. The difference between this method and setDualStreamMode(SIMULCAST_STREAM_MODE mode) is that this method can also configure the low-quality video stream, and the SDK sends the stream according to the configuration in streamConfig.
Note
The difference and connection between this method and enableDualStreamMode(bool enabled, const SimulcastStreamConfig& streamConfig) is as follows:
Parameters
modeThe mode in which the video stream is sent. See SIMULCAST_STREAM_MODE.
streamConfigThe configuration of the low-quality video stream. See SimulcastStreamConfig.Note: When setting mode to DISABLE_SIMULCAST_STREAM, setting streamConfig will not take effect.

Agora recommends that you use the server-side Media Push function. For details, see Use RESTful API. You can call this method to push an audio or video stream to the specified CDN address. This method can push media streams to only one CDN address at a time, so if you need to push streams to multiple addresses, call this method multiple times. After you call this method, the SDK triggers the onRtmpStreamingStateChanged callback on the local client to report the state of the streaming.

Note
  • Call this method after joining a channel.
  • Only hosts in the LIVE_BROADCASTING profile can call this method.
  • If you want to retry pushing streams after a failed push, make sure to call stopRtmpStream first, then call this method to retry pushing streams; otherwise, the SDK returns the same error code as the last failed push.
Parameters
urlThe address of Media Push. The format is RTMP or RTMPS. The character length cannot exceed 1024 bytes. Special characters such as Chinese characters are not supported.
Returns
  • 0: Success.

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::startRtmpStreamWithTranscoding ( const char *  url,
const LiveTranscoding transcoding 
)
pure virtual

Starts Media Push and sets the transcoding configuration.

Agora recommends that you use the server-side Media Push function. For details, see Use RESTful API. You can call this method to push a live audio-and-video stream to the specified CDN address and set the transcoding configuration. This method can push media streams to only one CDN address at a time, so if you need to push streams to multiple addresses, call this method multiple times. Under one Agora project, the maximum number of concurrent tasks to push media streams is 200 by default. If you need a higher quota, contact technical support. After you call this method, the SDK triggers the onRtmpStreamingStateChanged callback on the local client to report the state of the streaming.

Note
  • Call this method after joining a channel.
  • Only hosts in the LIVE_BROADCASTING profile can call this method.
  • If you want to retry pushing streams after a failed push, make sure to call stopRtmpStream first, then call this method to retry pushing streams; otherwise, the SDK returns the same error code as the last failed push.
Parameters
urlThe address of Media Push. The format is RTMP or RTMPS. The character length cannot exceed 1024 bytes. Special characters such as Chinese characters are not supported.
transcodingThe transcoding configuration for Media Push. See LiveTranscoding.

Agora recommends that you use the server-side Media Push function. For details, see Use RESTful API. After you start pushing media streams to CDN with transcoding, you can dynamically update the transcoding configuration according to the scenario. The SDK triggers the onTranscodingUpdated callback after the transcoding configuration is updated.

Parameters
transcodingThe transcoding configuration for Media Push. See LiveTranscoding.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ startLocalVideoTranscoder()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::startLocalVideoTranscoder ( const LocalTranscoderConfiguration config)
pure virtual

Starts the local video mixing.

After calling this method, you can merge multiple video streams into one video stream locally. For example, you can merge the video streams captured by the camera, screen sharing, media player, remote video, video files, images, etc. into one video stream, and then publish the mixed video stream to the channel. Applicable scenarios: You can enable the local video mixing function in scenarios such as remote conferences, live streaming, and online education, which allows users to view and manage multiple videos more conveniently, and supports portrait-in-picture effect and other functions. The following is a typical use case for implementing the portrait-in-picture effect:1. Call enableVirtualBackground, and set the custom background image to BACKGROUND_NONE, that is, separate the portrait and the background in the video captured by the camera.

  1. Call startScreenCapture(VIDEO_SOURCE_TYPE sourceType, const ScreenCaptureConfiguration& config) to start capturing the screen sharing video stream.
  2. Call this method and set the video source for capturing portraits as one of the video sources participating in the local video mixing, picture-in-picture of the portrait can be achived in the mixed video. Call timing: - If you need to mix the locally collected video streams, you need to call this method after startCameraCapture or startScreenCapture(VIDEO_SOURCE_TYPE sourceType, const ScreenCaptureConfiguration& config).
  • If you want to publish the mixed video stream to the channel, you need to set publishTranscodedVideoTrack in ChannelMediaOptions to true when calling joinChannel(const char* token, const char* channelId, uid_t uid, const ChannelMediaOptions& options) or updateChannelMediaOptions. Related callbacks: When you fail to call this method, the SDK triggers the onLocalVideoTranscoderError callback to report the reason.
Note
  • Local video mixing requires more CPU resources. Therefore, Agora recommends enabling this function on devices with higher performance.
  • If you need to mix locally captured video streams, the SDK supports the following capture combinations:
    • On the Windows platform, it supports up to 4 video streams captured by cameras + 4 screen sharing streams.
    • On the macOS platform, it supports up to 4 video streams captured by cameras + 1 screen sharing stream.
    • On Android and iOS platforms, it supports video streams captured by up to 2 cameras (the device itself needs to support dual cameras or supports external cameras) + 1 screen sharing stream.
  • When configuring the local video mixing, it is necessary to ensure that the layer number of the video stream capturing the portrait is greater than the layer number of the screen sharing stream. Otherwise, the portrait will be covered by the screen sharing and will not be displayed in the final mixed video stream.
Parameters
configConfiguration of the local video mixing, see LocalTranscoderConfiguration.Attention:

You can call this method to create a data stream and improve the reliability and ordering of data transmission. Call timing: You can call this method either before or after joining a channel. Related callbacks: After setting reliable to true, if the recipient does not receive the data within five seconds, the SDK triggers the onStreamMessageError callback and returns an error code.

Note
Each user can create up to five data streams during the lifecycle of IRtcEngine. The data stream will be destroyed when leaving the channel, and the data stream needs to be recreated if needed. If you need a more comprehensive solution for low-latency, high-concurrency, and scalable real-time messaging and status synchronization, it is recommended to use Signaling.
Parameters
streamIdAn output parameter; the ID of the data stream created.
reliableSets whether the recipients are guaranteed to receive the data stream within five seconds:
  • true: The recipients receive the data from the sender within five seconds. If the recipient does not receive the data within five seconds, the SDK triggers the onStreamMessageError callback and returns an error code.
  • false: There is no guarantee that the recipients receive the data stream within five seconds and no error message is reported for any delay or missing data stream. Attention: Please ensure that reliable and ordered are either both set totrue or both set to false.
orderedSets whether the recipients receive the data stream in the sent order:
  • true: The recipients receive the data in the sent order.
  • false: The recipients do not receive the data in the sent order.
Returns

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::addVideoWatermark ( const RtcImage watermark)
pure virtual

Adds a watermark image to the local video.

This method adds a PNG watermark image to the local video stream in a live streaming session. Once the watermark image is added, all the users in the channel (CDN audience included) and the video capturing device can see and capture it. If you only want to add a watermark to the CDN live streaming, see startRtmpStreamWithTranscoding.

Note
  • The URL descriptions are different for the local video and CDN live streaming: In a local video stream, URL refers to the absolute path of the added watermark image file in the local video stream. In a CDN live stream, URL refers to the URL address of the added watermark image in the CDN live streaming.
  • The source file of the watermark image must be in the PNG file format. If the width and height of the PNG file differ from your settings in this method, the PNG file will be cropped to conform to your settings.
  • The Agora SDK supports adding only one watermark image onto a local video or CDN live stream. The newly added watermark image replaces the previous one.

)
pure virtual

Adds a watermark image to the local video.

Deprecated:
Use addVideoWatermarkEx(const WatermarkConfig& config, const RtcConnection& connection) instead.

This method adds a PNG watermark image to the local video in the live streaming. Once the watermark image is added, all the audience in the channel (CDN audience included), and the capturing device can see and capture it. The Agora SDK supports adding only one watermark image onto a live video stream. The newly added watermark image replaces the previous one. The watermark coordinates are dependent on the settings in the setVideoEncoderConfiguration method:

  • If the orientation mode of the encoding video ( ORIENTATION_MODE ) is fixed landscape mode or the adaptive landscape mode, the watermark uses the landscape orientation.
  • If the orientation mode of the encoding video ( ORIENTATION_MODE ) is fixed portrait mode or the adaptive portrait mode, the watermark uses the portrait orientation.
  • When setting the watermark position, the region must be less than the dimensions set in the setVideoEncoderConfiguration method; otherwise, the watermark image will be cropped. You can control the visibility of the watermark during preview by setting the visibleInPreview parameter when calling this method. However, whether it ultimately takes effect also depends on the position parameter you set when calling setupLocalVideo (the position of the video frame in the video link). Refer to the table below for details.| Observation position | visibleInPreview value | Watermark visibility | | -------------------------------— | -------------------— | -----------------— | | (Default) POSITION_POST_CAPTURER | true | Yes | | | false | No | | POSITION_PRE_ENCODER | true | Yes | | | false | Yes |
Note
  • Ensure that calling this method after enableVideo.
  • If you only want to add a watermark to the media push, you can call this method or the startRtmpStreamWithTranscoding method.
  • This method supports adding a watermark image in the PNG file format only. Supported pixel formats of the PNG image are RGBA, RGB, Palette, Gray, and Alpha_gray.
  • If the dimensions of the PNG image differ from your settings in this method, the image will be cropped or zoomed to conform to your settings.
  • If you have enabled the mirror mode for the local video, the watermark on the local video is also mirrored. To avoid mirroring the watermark, Agora recommends that you do not use the mirror and watermark functions for the local video at the same time. You can implement the watermark function in your application layer.

◆ registerLocalUserAccount()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::registerLocalUserAccount ( const char *  appId,
const char *  userAccount 
)
pure virtual

Registers a user account.

Once registered, the user account can be used to identify the local user when the user joins the channel. After the registration is successful, the user account can identify the identity of the local user, and the user can use it to join the channel. This method is optional. If you want to join a channel using a user account, you can choose one of the following methods:

  • Call the registerLocalUserAccount method to register a user account, and then call the joinChannelWithUserAccount(const char* token, const char* channelId, const char* userAccount) or joinChannelWithUserAccount(const char* token, const char* channelId, const char* userAccount, const ChannelMediaOptions& options) method to join a channel, which can shorten the time it takes to enter the channel.
  • Call the joinChannelWithUserAccount(const char* token, const char* channelId, const char* userAccount) or joinChannelWithUserAccount(const char* token, const char* channelId, const char* userAccount, const ChannelMediaOptions& options) method to join a channel. Related callbacks: After successfully calling this method, the onLocalUserRegistered callback will be triggered on the local client to report the local user's UID and user account.
Note
  • Starting from v4.6.0, the SDK will no longer automatically map Int UID to the String userAccount used when registering a User Account. If you want to join a channel with the original String userAccount used during registration, call the joinChannelWithUserAccount(const char* token, const char* channelId, const char* userAccount, const ChannelMediaOptions& options) method to join the channel, instead of calling joinChannel(const char* token, const char* channelId, uid_t uid, const ChannelMediaOptions& options) and pass in the Int UID obtained through this method
  • Ensure that the userAccount is unique in the channel.
  • To ensure smooth communication, use the same parameter type to identify the user. For example, if a user joins the channel with a UID, then ensure all the other users use the UID too. The same applies to the user account. If a user joins the channel with the Agora Web SDK, ensure that the ID of the user is set to the same parameter type.
Parameters

◆ joinChannelWithUserAccount() [1/2]

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::joinChannelWithUserAccount ( const char *  token,
const char *  channelId,
const char *  userAccount 
)
pure virtual

Joins a channel with a User Account and Token.

Before calling this method, if you have not called registerLocalUserAccount to register a user account, when you call this method to join a channel, the SDK automatically creates a user account for you. Calling the registerLocalUserAccount method to register a user account, and then calling this method to join a channel can shorten the time it takes to enter the channel. Once a user joins the channel, the user subscribes to the audio and video streams of all the other users in the channel by default, giving rise to usage and billings. To stop subscribing to a specified stream or all remote streams, call the corresponding mute methods. Call timing: Call this method after initialize. Related callbacks: After the user successfully joins the channel, the SDK triggers the following callbacks:

  • The local client: onLocalUserRegistered, onJoinChannelSuccess and onConnectionStateChanged callbacks.
  • The remote client: The onUserJoined and onUserInfoUpdated callbacks if a user joins the channel in the COMMUNICATION profile, or if a host joins the channel in the LIVE_BROADCASTING profile.
Note
  • This method only supports users joining one channel at a time.
  • Users with different App IDs cannot call each other.
  • Before joining a channel, ensure that the App ID you use to generate a token is the same as that you pass in the initialize method; otherwise, you may fail to join the channel with the token. To ensure smooth communication, use the same parameter type to identify the user. For example, if a user joins the channel with a UID, then ensure all the other users use the UID too. The same applies to the user account. If a user joins the channel with the Agora Web SDK, ensure that the ID of the user is set to the same parameter type.
Parameters
tokenThe token generated on your server for authentication. See .Note:
  • (Recommended) If your project has enabled the security mode (using APP ID and Token for authentication), this parameter is required.
  • If you have only enabled the testing mode (using APP ID for authentication), this parameter is optional. You will automatically exit the channel 24 hours after successfully joining in.
  • If you need to join different channels at the same time or switch between channels, Agora recommends using a wildcard token so that you don't need to apply for a new token every time joining a channel. See Secure authentication with tokens.
channelIdThe channel name. This parameter signifies the channel in which users engage in real-time audio and video interaction. Under the premise of the same App ID, users who fill in the same channel ID enter the same channel for audio and video interaction. The string length must be less than 64 bytes. Supported characters (89 characters in total):
  • All lowercase English letters: a to z.
  • All uppercase English letters: A to Z.
  • All numeric characters: 0 to 9.
  • "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", "{", "}", "|", "~", ","
userAccountThe user account. This parameter is used to identify the user in the channel for real-time audio and video engagement. You need to set and manage user accounts yourself and ensure that each user account in the same channel is unique. The maximum length of this parameter is 255 bytes. Ensure that you set this parameter and do not set it as NULL. Supported characters are as follows(89 in total):
  • The 26 lowercase English letters: a to z.
  • The 26 uppercase English letters: A to Z.
  • All numeric characters: 0 to 9.
  • Space
  • "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", "{", "}", "|", "~", ","
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -2: The parameter is invalid. For example, the token is invalid, the uid parameter is not set to an integer, or the value of a member in ChannelMediaOptions is invalid. You need to pass in a valid parameter and join the channel again.
    • -3: Fails to initialize the IRtcEngine object. You need to reinitialize the IRtcEngine object.
    • -7: The IRtcEngine object has not been initialized. You need to initialize the IRtcEngine object before calling this method.
    • -8: The internal state of the IRtcEngine object is wrong. The typical cause is that after calling startEchoTest to start a call loop test, you call this method to join the channel without calling stopEchoTest to stop the test. You need to call stopEchoTest before calling this method.
    • -17: The request to join the channel is rejected. The typical cause is that the user is already in the channel. Agora recommends that you use the onConnectionStateChanged callback to see whether the user is in the channel. Do not call this method to join the channel unless you receive the CONNECTION_STATE_DISCONNECTED (1) state.
    • -102: The channel name is invalid. You need to pass in a valid channel name in channelId to rejoin the channel.
    • -121: The user ID is invalid. You need to pass in a valid user ID in uid to rejoin the channel.

◆ joinChannelWithUserAccount() [2/2]

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::joinChannelWithUserAccount ( const char *  token,

pure virtual

Join a channel using a user account and token, and set the media options.

Before calling this method, if you have not called registerLocalUserAccount to register a user account, when you call this method to join a channel, the SDK automatically creates a user account for you. Calling the registerLocalUserAccount method to register a user account, and then calling this method to join a channel can shorten the time it takes to enter the channel. Compared to joinChannelWithUserAccount(const char* token, const char* channelId, const char* userAccount), this method has the options parameter which is used to set media options, such as whether to publish audio and video streams within a channel. By default, the user subscribes to the audio and video streams of all the other users in the channel, giving rise to usage and billings. To stop subscribing to other streams, set the options parameter or call the corresponding mute methods. Call timing: Call this method after initialize.

◆ startOrUpdateChannelMediaRelay()

virtual int agora::rtc::IRtcEngine::startOrUpdateChannelMediaRelay ( const ChannelMediaRelayConfiguration configuration)
pure virtual

Starts relaying media streams across channels or updates channels for media relay.

Since
v4.2.0

The first successful call to this method starts relaying media streams from the source channel to the destination channels. To relay the media stream to other channels, or exit one of the current media relays, you can call this method again to update the destination channels. This feature supports relaying media streams to a maximum of six destination channels. After a successful method call, the SDK triggers the onChannelMediaRelayStateChanged callback, and this callback returns the state of the media stream relay. Common states are as follows:

  • If the onChannelMediaRelayStateChanged callback returns RELAY_STATE_RUNNING (2) and RELAY_OK (0), it means that the SDK starts relaying media streams from the source channel to the destination channel.
  • If the onChannelMediaRelayStateChanged callback returns RELAY_STATE_FAILURE (3), an exception occurs during the media stream relay.
Note
  • Call this method after joining the channel.
  • This method takes effect only when you are a host in a live streaming channel.
  • The relaying media streams across channels function needs to be enabled by contacting technical support.
  • Agora does not support string user accounts in this API.
Parameters
configurationThe configuration of the media stream relay. See ChannelMediaRelayConfiguration.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -1: A general error occurs (no specified reason).
    • -2: The parameter is invalid.
