Method Documentation

joinChannelExByToken:connection:delegate:mediaOptions:joinSuccess:

- (int) joinChannelExByToken:		(NSString *_Nullable)	token
connection:		(AgoraRtcConnection *_Nonnull)	connection
delegate:		(id< AgoraRtcEngineDelegate > _Nullable)	delegate
mediaOptions:		(AgoraRtcChannelMediaOptions *_Nonnull)	mediaOptions
joinSuccess:		(void(^)(NSString *_Nonnull channel, NSUInteger uid, NSInteger elapsed))	joinSuccessBlock

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

Before calling this method, if you have not called registerLocalUserAccountWithAppID:userAccount: 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 registerLocalUserAccountWithAppID:userAccount: 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. If you want to stop subscribing to the media stream of other users, you can set the mediaOptions parameter or call the corresponding mute method. Call timing: Call this method after sharedEngineWithConfig:delegate:. Related callbacks: After the user successfully joins the channel, the SDK triggers the following callbacks:

• The local client: rtcEngine:didLocalUserRegisteredWithUserId:userAccount:, rtcEngine:didJoinChannel:withUid:elapsed: and rtcEngine:connectionChangedToState:reason: callbacks.
• The remote client: The rtcEngine:didJoinedOfUid:elapsed: and rtcEngine:didUserInfoUpdatedWithUserId:userInfo: 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 sharedEngineWithConfig:delegate: 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

token	The token generated on your server for authentication.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.
connection	The connection information. See AgoraRtcConnection.
delegate	The callback class of AgoraRtcEngine. See AgoraRtcEngineDelegate. You can get the callback events of multiple channels through the delegte object passed in this parameter.
mediaOptions	The channel media options. See AgoraRtcChannelMediaOptions.
joinSuccessBlock	Occurs when a user joins a channel. joinSuccessBlock takes higher priority than rtcEngine:didJoinChannel:withUid:elapsed:. When both are implemented, rtcEngine:didJoinChannel:withUid:elapsed: does not take effect. Agora recommends setting joinSuccessBlock as nil to use rtcEngine:didJoinChannel:withUid:elapsed:.

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 AgoraRtcChannelMediaOptions is invalid. You need to pass in a valid parameter and join the channel again.
  • -3: Fails to initialize the AgoraRtcEngineKit object. You need to reinitialize the AgoraRtcEngineKit object.
  • -7: The AgoraRtcEngineKit object has not been initialized. You need to initialize the AgoraRtcEngineKit object before calling this method.
  • -8: The internal state of the AgoraRtcEngineKit object is wrong. The typical cause is that after calling startEchoTestWithConfig: 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 rtcEngine:connectionChangedToState:reason: callback to see whether the user is in the channel. Do not call this method to join the channel unless you receive the AgoraConnectionStateDisconnected (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.

Parameters

token	The token generated on your server for authentication.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.
channelId	The 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. "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", "{", "}", "|", "~", ","
userAccount	The user account. This parameter is used to identify the user in the channel for real-time audio and video engagement. You need to set and manage user accounts yourself and ensure that each user account in the same channel is unique. The maximum length of this parameter is 255 bytes. Ensure that you set this parameter and do not set it as nil. Supported characters are as follows(89 in total): The 26 lowercase English letters: a to z. The 26 uppercase English letters: A to Z. All numeric characters: 0 to 9. Space "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", "{", "}", "|", "~", ","
delegate	The callback class of AgoraRtcEngine. See AgoraRtcEngineDelegate. You can get the callback events of multiple channels through the delegte object passed in this parameter.
mediaOptions	The channel media options. See AgoraRtcChannelMediaOptions.
joinSuccessBlock	Occurs when a user joins a channel. joinSuccessBlock takes higher priority than rtcEngine:didJoinChannel:withUid:elapsed:. When both are implemented, rtcEngine:didJoinChannel:withUid:elapsed: does not take effect. Agora recommends setting joinSuccessBlock as nil to use rtcEngine:didJoinChannel:withUid:elapsed:.

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 AgoraRtcChannelMediaOptions is invalid. You need to pass in a valid parameter and join the channel again.
  • -3: Fails to initialize the AgoraRtcEngineKit object. You need to reinitialize the AgoraRtcEngineKit object.
  • -7: The AgoraRtcEngineKit object has not been initialized. You need to initialize the AgoraRtcEngineKit object before calling this method.
  • -8: The internal state of the AgoraRtcEngineKit object is wrong. The typical cause is that after calling startEchoTestWithConfig: 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 rtcEngine:connectionChangedToState:reason: callback to see whether the user is in the channel. Do not call this method to join the channel unless you receive the AgoraConnectionStateDisconnected (1) state.

updateChannelExWithMediaOptions:connection:

- (int) updateChannelExWithMediaOptions:		(AgoraRtcChannelMediaOptions *_Nonnull)	mediaOptions
connection:		(AgoraRtcConnection *_Nonnull)	connection

Updates the channel media options after joining the channel.

Parameters

options	The channel media options. See AgoraRtcChannelMediaOptions.
connection	The connection information. See AgoraRtcConnection.

Returns

• 0: Success.

  • -2: The value of a member in AgoraRtcChannelMediaOptions is invalid. For example, the token or the user ID is invalid. You need to fill in a valid parameter.
  • -7: The AgoraRtcEngineKit object has not been initialized. You need to initialize the AgoraRtcEngineKit object before calling this method.
  • -8: The internal state of the AgoraRtcEngineKit object is wrong. The possible reason is that the user is not in the channel. Agora recommends that you use the rtcEngine:connectionChangedToState:reason: callback to see whether the user is in the channel. If you receive the AgoraConnectionStateDisconnected (1) or AgoraConnectionStateFailed (5) state, the user is not in the channel. You need to call joinChannelByToken:channelId:uid:mediaOptions:joinSuccess: to join a channel before calling this method.

setupRemoteVideoEx:connection:

- (int) setupRemoteVideoEx:		(AgoraRtcVideoCanvas *_Nonnull)	remote
connection:		(AgoraRtcConnection *_Nonnull)	connection

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. The application specifies the uid of the remote video in the AgoraRtcVideoCanvas method before the remote user joins the channel. If the remote uid is unknown to the application, set it after the application receives the rtcEngine:didJoinedOfUid:elapsed: callback. If the Video Recording function is enabled, the Video Recording Service joins the channel as a dummy client, causing other clients to also receive the onUserJoined callback. Do not bind the dummy client to the application view because the dummy client does not send any video streams. 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.

Note

• Call this method after joinChannelExByToken:connection:delegate:mediaOptions:joinSuccess:.
• To update the rendering or mirror mode of the remote video view during a call, use the setRemoteRenderModeEx:mode:mirror:connection: method.

Parameters

remote	The remote video view settings. See AgoraRtcVideoCanvas.
connection	The connection information. See AgoraRtcConnection.

Returns

• 0: Success.
• < 0: Failure.

enableDualStreamModeEx:streamConfig:connection:

- (int) enableDualStreamModeEx:		(BOOL)	enabled
streamConfig:		(AgoraSimulcastStreamConfig *)	streamConfig
connection:		(AgoraRtcConnection *_Nonnull)	connection

Enables or disables dual-stream mode on the sender side.

Deprecated:

v4.2.0. This method is deprecated. Use setDualStreamModeEx instead.

You can call this method to enable or disable the dual-stream mode on the publisher side. Dual streams are a pairing of a high-quality video stream and a low-quality video stream:

• High-quality video stream: High bitrate, high resolution.
• Low-quality video stream: Low bitrate, low resolution. After you enable dual-stream mode, you can call setRemoteVideoStream:type: to choose to receive either the high-quality video stream or the low-quality video stream on the subscriber side.

Note

This method is applicable to all types of streams from the sender, including but not limited to video streams collected from cameras, screen sharing streams, and custom-collected video streams.

Parameters

enabled	Whether to enable dual-stream mode: YES: Enable dual-stream mode. NO: (Default) Disable dual-stream mode.
streamConfig	The configuration of the low-quality video stream. See AgoraSimulcastStreamConfig.Note: When setting mode to AgoraDisableSimulcastStream, setting streamConfig will not take effect.
connection	The connection information. See AgoraRtcConnection.

Returns

• 0: Success.
• < 0: Failure.

Extends class AgoraRtcEngineKit.

setDualStreamModeEx:streamConfig:connection:

- (int) setDualStreamModeEx:		(AgoraSimulcastStreamMode)	mode
streamConfig:		(AgoraSimulcastStreamConfig *)	streamConfig
connection:		(AgoraRtcConnection *_Nonnull)	connection

Sets the dual-stream mode on the sender side.

The SDK defaults to enabling low-quality video stream adaptive mode ( AgoraAutoSimulcastStream ) 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 setRemoteVideoStreamEx:type:connection:, 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 AgoraDisableSimulcastStream (never send low-quality video streams) or AgoraEnableSimulcastStream (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 AgoraAutoSimulcastStream.

Note

The difference and connection between this method and enableDualStreamModeEx:streamConfig:connection: is as follows:

• When calling this method and setting mode to AgoraDisableSimulcastStream, it has the same effect as enableDualStreamModeEx:streamConfig:connection: (NO).
• When calling this method and setting mode to AgoraEnableSimulcastStream, it has the same effect as enableDualStreamModeEx:streamConfig:connection: (YES).
• 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.

Parameters

mode	The mode in which the video stream is sent. See AgoraSimulcastStreamMode.
streamConfig	The configuration of the low-quality video stream. See AgoraSimulcastStreamConfig.Note: When setting mode to AgoraDisableSimulcastStream, setting streamConfig will not take effect.
connection	The connection information. See AgoraRtcConnection.

Returns

• 0: Success.
• < 0: Failure.

Extends class AgoraRtcEngineKit.

setSimulcastConfigEx:connection:

- (int) setSimulcastConfigEx:		(AgoraSimulcastConfig *)	simulcastConfig
connection:		(AgoraRtcConnection *_Nonnull)	connection

Sets the simulcast video stream configuration.

Since

v4.6.0

This method can be called in scenarios involving multiple channels. You can call the setSimulcastConfig method to set video streams with different resolutions for the same video source. The subscribers can call to select which stream layer to receive. The broadcaster can publish up to four layers of video streams: one main stream (highest resolution) and three additional streams of different quality levels. setRemoteVideoStream:type: Applicable scenarios: This method can be called in scenarios involving multiple channels.

Parameters

simulcastConfig	Configuration for different video steam layers. This configuration includes seven layers, from AgoraStreamLayer1 to AgoraStreamLow, with a maximum of three layers enabled simultaneously. See AgoraSimulcastConfig.
connection	One AgoraRtcConnection object. See AgoraRtcConnection.

Returns

• 0: Success.
• < 0: Failure.

setRemoteVideoStreamEx:type:connection:

- (int) setRemoteVideoStreamEx:		(NSUInteger)	uid
type:		(AgoraVideoStreamType)	streamType
connection:		(AgoraRtcConnection *_Nonnull)	connection

Sets the video stream type to subscribe to.

Depending on the default behavior of the sender and the specific settings when calling setDualStreamMode:streamConfig:, the scenarios for the receiver calling this method are as follows:

• The SDK enables low-quality video stream adaptive mode ( AgoraAutoSimulcastStream ) 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:streamConfig: and sets mode to AgoraDisableSimulcastStream (never send low-quality video stream), then calling this method will have no effect.
• If the sender calls setDualStreamMode:streamConfig: and sets mode to AgoraEnableSimulcastStream (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.

Note

If the publisher has already called setDualStreamModeEx:streamConfig:connection: and set mode to AgoraDisableSimulcastStream (never send low-quality video stream), calling this method will not take effect, you should call setDualStreamModeEx:streamConfig:connection: again on the sending end and adjust the settings.

Parameters

uid	The user ID.
streamType	The video stream type, see AgoraVideoStreamType.
connection	The connection information. See AgoraRtcConnection.

enableAudioVolumeIndicationEx:smooth:reportVad:connection:

- (int) enableAudioVolumeIndicationEx:		(NSInteger)	interval
smooth:		(NSInteger)	smooth
reportVad:		(BOOL)	reportVad
connection:		(AgoraRtcConnection *_Nonnull)	connection

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: Call this method after joinChannelExByToken:connection:delegate:mediaOptions:joinSuccess:. Related callbacks: The SDK triggers the rtcEngine:reportAudioVolumeIndicationOfSpeakers:totalVolume: callback according to the interval you set if this method is successfully called and there are users publishing streams in the channel.

Parameters

interval	Sets 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 rtcEngine:reportAudioVolumeIndicationOfSpeakers:totalVolume: callback. Agora recommends that this value is set as greater than 100.
smooth	The 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	- YES: Enables the voice activity detection of the local user. Once it is enabled, the vad parameter of the rtcEngine:reportAudioVolumeIndicationOfSpeakers:totalVolume: callback reports the voice activity status of the local user. NO: (Default) Disables the voice activity detection of the local user. Once it is disabled, the vad parameter of the rtcEngine:reportAudioVolumeIndicationOfSpeakers:totalVolume: 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.
connection	The connection information. See AgoraRtcConnection.

setRemoteVoicePositionEx:pan:gain:connection:

- (int) setRemoteVoicePositionEx:		(NSUInteger)	uid
pan:		(double)	pan
gain:		(double)	gain
connection:		(AgoraRtcConnection *_Nonnull)	connection

Sets the 2D position (the position on the horizontal plane) of the remote user's voice.

This method sets the voice position and volume of a remote user. When the local user calls this method to set the voice position of a remote user, the voice difference between the left and right channels allows the local user to track the real-time position of the remote user, creating a sense of space. This method applies to massive multiplayer online games, such as Battle Royale games.

Note

• For the best voice positioning, Agora recommends using a wired headset.
• Call this method after joining a channel.

Parameters

uid	The user ID of the remote user.
pan	The voice position of the remote user. The value ranges from -1.0 to 1.0: -1.0: The remote voice comes from the left. 0.0: (Default) The remote voice comes from the front. 1.0: The remote voice comes from the right.
gain	The volume of the remote user. The value ranges from 0.0 to 100.0. The default value is 100.0 (the original volume of the remote user). The smaller the value, the lower the volume.
connection	The connection information. See AgoraRtcConnection.

Returns

• 0: Success.
• < 0: Failure.

addVideoWatermarkEx:options:connection:

- (int) addVideoWatermarkEx:		(NSURL *_Nonnull)	url
options:		(WatermarkOptions *_Nonnull)	options
connection:		(AgoraRtcConnection *_Nonnull)	connection

Adds a watermark image to the local video.

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 setVideoEncoderConfigurationEx:connection: method:

• If the orientation mode of the encoding video ( AgoraVideoOutputOrientationMode ) is fixed landscape mode or the adaptive landscape mode, the watermark uses the landscape orientation.
• If the orientation mode of the encoding video ( AgoraVideoOutputOrientationMode ) 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 setVideoEncoderConfigurationEx:connection: method; otherwise, the watermark image will be cropped.

Note

• Ensure that you have called enableVideo before calling this 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 local video preview by calling the startPreview: method, you can use the visibleInPreview member to set whether or not the watermark is visible in the preview.
• 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.

Parameters

url	The local file path of the watermark image to be added. This method supports adding a watermark image from the local absolute or relative file path.
options	The options of the watermark image to be added. See WatermarkOptions.
connection	The connection information. See AgoraRtcConnection.

reliable:		(BOOL)	reliable
ordered:		(BOOL)	ordered
connection:		(AgoraRtcConnection *_Nonnull)	connection

Creates a data stream.

You can call this method to create a data stream and improve the reliability and ordering of data transmission. Call timing: Call this method after joinChannelExByToken:connection:delegate:mediaOptions:joinSuccess:. Related callbacks: After setting reliable to YES, if the recipient does not receive the data within five seconds, the SDK triggers the rtcEngine:didOccurStreamMessageErrorFromUid:streamId:error:missed:cached: callback and returns an error code.

Note

Each user can create up to five data streams during the lifecycle of AgoraRtcEngineKit. The data stream will be destroyed when leaving the channel, and the data stream needs to be recreated if needed.

Parameters

streamId	An output parameter; the ID of the data stream created.
reliable	Sets whether the recipients are guaranteed to receive the data stream within five seconds: YES: 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 rtcEngine:didOccurStreamMessageErrorFromUid:streamId:error:missed:cached: callback and returns an error code. NO: 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 toYES or both set to NO.
ordered	Sets whether the recipients receive the data stream in the sent order: YES: The recipients receive the data in the sent order. NO: The recipients do not receive the data in the sent order.

- (int) createDataStreamEx:		(NSInteger *_Nonnull)	streamId
config:		(AgoraDataStreamConfig *_Nonnull)	config
connection:		(AgoraRtcConnection *_Nonnull)	connection

Creates a data stream.

Compared to createDataStreamEx:reliable:ordered:connection:, this method does not guarantee the reliability of data transmission. If a data packet is not received five seconds after it was sent, the SDK directly discards the data. Call timing: Call this method after joinChannelExByToken:connection:delegate:mediaOptions:joinSuccess:.

Note

Each user can create up to five data streams during the lifecycle of AgoraRtcEngineKit. 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

streamId	An output parameter; the ID of the data stream created.
config	The configurations for the data stream. See AgoraDataStreamConfig.
connection	The connection information. See AgoraRtcConnection.

Returns

• 0: The data stream is successfully created.

sendStreamMessageEx:data:connection:

- (int) sendStreamMessageEx:		(NSInteger)	streamId
data:		(NSData *_Nonnull)	data
connection:		(AgoraRtcConnection *_Nonnull)	connection

Sends data stream messages.

After calling createDataStream:config:, you can call this method to send data stream messages to all users in the channel. The SDK has the following restrictions on this method:

• Each client within the channel can have up to 5 data channels simultaneously, with a total shared packet bitrate limit of 30 KB/s for all data channels.
• Each data channel can send up to 60 packets per second, with each packet being a maximum of 1 KB. A successful method call triggers the rtcEngine:receiveStreamMessageFromUid:streamId:data: callback on the remote client, from which the remote user gets the stream message. A failed method call triggers the rtcEngine:didOccurStreamMessageErrorFromUid:streamId:error:missed:cached: callback on the remote client.

Note

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.

• This method needs to be called after createDataStream:config: and joining the channel.

- (int) startOrUpdateChannelMediaRelayEx:		(AgoraChannelMediaRelayConfiguration *_Nonnull)	config
connection:		(AgoraRtcConnection *_Nonnull)	connection

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 rtcEngine:channelMediaRelayStateDidChange:error: callback, and this callback returns the state of the media stream relay. Common states are as follows:

• If the rtcEngine:channelMediaRelayStateDidChange:error: callback returns AgoraChannelMediaRelayStateRunning (2) and AgoraChannelMediaRelayErrorNone (0), it means that the SDK starts relaying media streams from the source channel to the destination channel.
• If the rtcEngine:channelMediaRelayStateDidChange:error: callback returns AgoraChannelMediaRelayStateFailure (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

config	The configuration of the media stream relay. See AgoraChannelMediaRelayConfiguration.
connection	The connection information. See AgoraRtcConnection.

Returns

• 0: Success.
• < 0: Failure.
  • -1: A general error occurs (no specified reason).
  • -2: The parameter is invalid.
  • -8: Internal state error. Probably because the user is not a broadcaster.

Extends class AgoraRtcEngineKit.

stopChannelMediaRelayEx:

- (int) stopChannelMediaRelayEx:

(AgoraRtcConnection *_Nonnull)

connection

Stops the media stream relay. Once the relay stops, the host quits all the target channels.

After a successful method call, the SDK triggers the rtcEngine:channelMediaRelayStateDidChange:error: callback. If the callback reports AgoraChannelMediaRelayStateIdle (0) and AgoraChannelMediaRelayErrorNone (0), the host successfully stops the relay.

Note

If the method call fails, the SDK triggers the rtcEngine:channelMediaRelayStateDidChange:error: callback with the AgoraChannelMediaRelayErrorServerNoResponse (2) or AgoraChannelMediaRelayErrorServerConnectionLost (8) status code. You can call the leaveChannel:leaveChannelBlock: method to leave the channel, and the media stream relay automatically stops.

Parameters

connection

The connection information. See AgoraRtcConnection.

Returns

• 0: Success.
• < 0: Failure.
  • -5: The method call was rejected. There is no ongoing channel media relay.

Extends class AgoraRtcEngineKit.

pauseAllChannelMediaRelayEx:

- (int) pauseAllChannelMediaRelayEx:

(AgoraRtcConnection *_Nonnull)

connection

Pauses the media stream relay to all target channels.

After the cross-channel media stream relay starts, you can call this method to pause relaying media streams to all target channels; after the pause, if you want to resume the relay, call resumeAllChannelMediaRelay.

Note

Call this method after startOrUpdateChannelMediaRelayEx:connection:.

Parameters

connection

The connection information. See AgoraRtcConnection.

Returns

• 0: Success.
• < 0: Failure.
  • -5: The method call was rejected. There is no ongoing channel media relay.

Extends class AgoraRtcEngineKit.

resumeAllChannelMediaRelayEx:

- (int) resumeAllChannelMediaRelayEx:

(AgoraRtcConnection *_Nonnull)

connection

Resumes the media stream relay to all target channels.

After calling the pauseAllChannelMediaRelayEx: method, you can call this method to resume relaying media streams to all destination channels.

Note

Call this method after pauseAllChannelMediaRelayEx:.

Parameters

connection

The connection information. See AgoraRtcConnection.

Returns

• 0: Success.
• < 0: Failure.
  • -5: The method call was rejected. There is no paused channel media relay.

Extends class AgoraRtcEngineKit.

startMediaRenderingTracingEx:

- (int) startMediaRenderingTracingEx:

(AgoraRtcConnection *_Nonnull)

connection

Enables tracing the video frame rendering process.

Since

v4.1.1

The SDK starts tracing the rendering status of the video frames in the channel from the moment this method is successfully called and reports information about the event through the rtcEngine:videoRenderingTracingResultOfUid:currentEvent:tracingInfo: callback. Applicable scenarios: Agora recommends that you use this method in conjunction with the UI settings (such as buttons and sliders) in your app to improve the user experience. For example, call this method when the user clicks the Join Channel button, and then get the time spent during the video frame rendering process through the rtcEngine:videoRenderingTracingResultOfUid:currentEvent:tracingInfo: callback, so as to optimize the indicators accordingly.

Note

• If you have not called this method, the SDK tracks the rendering events of the video frames from the moment you call joinChannelByToken:channelId:uid:mediaOptions:joinSuccess: to join the channel. You can call this method at an appropriate time according to the actual application scenario to set the starting position for tracking video rendering events.
• After the local user leaves the current channel, the SDK automatically tracks the video rendering events from the moment you join a channel.

Parameters

connection

The connection information. See AgoraRtcConnection.

Returns

• 0: Success.
• < 0: Failure.

setParametersEx:connection:

- (int) setParametersEx:		(NSString *_Nonnull)	options
connection:		(AgoraRtcConnection *_Nonnull)	connection

Provides the technical preview functionalities or special customizations by configuring the SDK with JSON options.

Note

The JSON options are not public by default. Agora is working on making commonly used JSON options public in a standard way. Contact suppo.nosp@m.rt@a.nosp@m.gora..nosp@m.io for more information.

Parameters

options	SDK options in JSON format.
connection	AgoraRtcConnection.

Extends class AgoraRtcEngineKit.

getCallIdEx:

- (NSString * _Nullable) getCallIdEx:

(AgoraRtcConnection *_Nonnull)

connection

Gets the call ID with the connection ID.

When a user joins a channel on a client, a callId is generated to identify the call from the client. You can call this method to get callId, and pass it in when calling methods such as rate:rating:description: and complain:description:. Call timing: Call this method after joining a channel.

Parameters

connection

The connection information. See AgoraRtcConnection.

Extends class AgoraRtcEngineKit.

addDelegateEx:connection:

- (void) addDelegateEx:		(id< AgoraRtcEngineDelegate > _Nonnull)	delegate
connection:		(AgoraRtcConnection *_Nonnull)	connection

Adds multiple SDK delegate.

Parameters

delegate	The AgoraRtcEngineDelegate object.
connection	The AgoraRtcConnection object.

Extends class AgoraRtcEngineKit.

removeDelegateEx:connection:

- (void) removeDelegateEx:		(id< AgoraRtcEngineDelegate > _Nonnull)	delegate
connection:		(AgoraRtcConnection *_Nonnull)	connection

Removes multiple SDK delegate.

Parameters

delegate	The AgoraRtcEngineDelegate object.
connection	The AgoraRtcConnection object.

enableEncryptionEx:encryptionConfig:connection:

- (int) enableEncryptionEx:		(BOOL)	enabled
encryptionConfig:		(AgoraEncryptionConfig *_Nonnull)	config
connection:		(AgoraRtcConnection *_Nonnull)	connection

Enables or disables the built-in encryption.

After the user leaves the channel, the SDK automatically disables the built-in encryption. To enable the built-in encryption, call this method before the user joins the channel again. Applicable scenarios: Scenarios with higher security requirements. Call timing: Call this method before joining a channel.

Note

• All users within the same channel must set the same encryption configurations when calling this method.
• If you enable the built-in encryption, you cannot use the Media Push function.

Parameters

enabled	Whether to enable built-in encryption: YES: Enable the built-in encryption. NO: (Default) Disable the built-in encryption.
config	Built-in encryption configurations. See AgoraEncryptionConfig.
connection	The connection information. See AgoraRtcConnection.
