Detailed Description

Agora provides ensured quality of experience (QoE) for worldwide Internet-based voice and video communications through a virtual global network that is especially optimized for real-time web and mobile-to-mobile applications.

The AgoraRtcEngineKit class is the entry point of the Agora SDK that provides simple APIs for applications to easily start voice and video communication. Provides all methods that can be invoked by your application.

Agora provides ensured quality of experience (QoE) for worldwide Internet-based voice and video communications through a virtual global network that is especially optimized for real-time web and mobile-to-mobile applications.

AgoraRtcEngineKit is the basic interface class of Agora Native SDK. Creating an AgoraRtcEngineKit object and then calling the methods of this object enables the use of Agora Native SDK’s communication functionality.

Method Documentation

◆ sharedEngineWithAppId:delegate:

+ (instancetype _Nonnull) sharedEngineWithAppId: (NSString *_Nonnull)  appId
delegate: (id< AgoraRtcEngineDelegate > _Nullable)  delegate 

Creates and initializes AgoraRtcEngineKit.

All called methods provided by the AgoraRtcEngineKit class are executed asynchronously. Agora recommends calling these methods in the same thread.

Note
  • Before calling other APIs, you must call this method to create the AgoraRtcEngineKit object.
  • You can create the AgoraRtcEngineKit instance either by calling this method or by calling sharedEngineWithConfig:delegate:. The difference between sharedEngineWithConfig:delegate: and this method is that sharedEngineWithConfig:delegate: supports more configurations when creating the AgoraRtcEngineKit instance, for example, specifying the region for connection and setting the log files.
  • The SDK supports creating only one AgoraRtcEngineKit instance for an app.
Parameters
appIdThe App ID issued by Agora for your project. Only users in apps with the same App ID can join the same channel and communicate with each other. An App ID can only be used to create one AgoraRtcEngineKit instance. To change your App ID, call destroy to destroy the current AgoraRtcEngineKit instance, and then create a new one.
delegateThe event handler for AgoraRtcEngineKit. See AgoraRtcEngineDelegate.
Returns
  • Returns an initialized AgoraRtcEngineKit object if the method call succeeds.
  • if the method call fails, returns an AgoraRtcEngineKit object whose internal engine field is nil. You can get the error code via the delegate's rtcEngine:didOccurError: callback.

◆ sharedEngineWithConfig:delegate:

+ (instancetype _Nonnull) sharedEngineWithConfig: (AgoraRtcEngineConfig *_Nonnull)  config
delegate: (id< AgoraRtcEngineDelegate > _Nullable)  delegate 

Creates and initializes AgoraRtcEngineKit.

You can create the AgoraRtcEngineKit instance either by calling this method or by calling sharedEngineWithAppId:delegate:. The difference between sharedEngineWithAppId:delegate: and this method is that this method supports more configurations when creating the AgoraRtcEngineKit instance, for example, specifying the region for connection and setting the log files. Call timing: Before calling other APIs, you must call this method to create the AgoraRtcEngineKit object.

Note
The SDK supports creating only one AgoraRtcEngineKit instance for an app. All called methods provided by the AgoraRtcEngineKit class are executed asynchronously. Agora recommends calling these methods in the same thread.
Parameters
configConfigurations for the AgoraRtcEngineKit instance. See AgoraRtcEngineConfig.
delegateThe event handler for AgoraRtcEngineKit. See AgoraRtcEngineDelegate.
Returns
  • Returns an initialized AgoraRtcEngineKit object if the method call succeeds.
  • if the method call fails, returns an AgoraRtcEngineKit object whose internal engine field is nil. You can get the error code via the delegate's rtcEngine:didOccurError: callback.

◆ preloadChannelByToken:channelId:uid:

- (int) preloadChannelByToken: (NSString *_Nullable)  token
channelId: (NSString *_Nonnull)  channelId
uid: (NSUInteger)  uid 

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 AgoraAudioScenarioChorus, 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 AgoraRtcEngineKit 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 rtcEngine:didJoinChannel:withUid:elapsed: 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 AgoraRtcEngineKit object has not been initialized. You need to initialize the AgoraRtcEngineKit 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.

◆ preloadChannelByTokenWithUserAccount:channelId:userAccount:

- (int) preloadChannelByTokenWithUserAccount: (NSString *_Nullable)  token
channelId: (NSString *_Nonnull)  channelId
userAccount: (NSString *_Nonnull)  userAccount 

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 AgoraAudioScenarioChorus, 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 AgoraRtcEngineKit 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.
  • "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", "{", "}", "|", "~", ","
userAccountThe user account. This parameter is used to identify the user in the channel for real-time audio and video engagement. You need to set and manage user accounts yourself and ensure that each user account in the same channel is unique. The maximum length of this parameter is 255 bytes. Ensure that you set this parameter and do not set it as nil. Supported characters are as follows(89 in total):
  • The 26 lowercase English letters: a to z.
  • The 26 uppercase English letters: A to Z.
  • All numeric characters: 0 to 9.
  • Space
  • "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", "{", "}", "|", "~", ","
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -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 AgoraRtcEngineKit object has not been initialized. You need to initialize the AgoraRtcEngineKit 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:

- (int) updatePreloadChannelToken: (NSString *_Nonnull)  token

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 AgoraRtcEngineKit object has not been initialized. You need to initialize the AgoraRtcEngineKit object before calling this method.

◆ joinChannelByToken:channelId:info:uid:joinSuccess:

- (int) joinChannelByToken: (NSString *_Nullable)  token
channelId: (NSString *_Nonnull)  channelId
info: (NSString *_Nullable)  info
uid: (NSUInteger)  uid
joinSuccess: (void(^)(NSString *_Nonnull channel, NSUInteger uid, NSInteger elapsed))  joinSuccessBlock 

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 sharedEngineWithConfig:delegate:. Related callbacks: A successful call of this method triggers the following callbacks:

  • The local client: The rtcEngine:didJoinChannel:withUid:elapsed: and rtcEngine:connectionChangedToState:reason: callbacks.
  • The remote client: The rtcEngine:didJoinedOfUid:elapsed: 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 rtcEngine:didRejoinChannel:withUid:elapsed: 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 sharedEngineWithConfig:delegate: method; otherwise, you may fail to join the channel with the token.
Parameters
tokenThe 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.
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 rtcEngine:didJoinChannel:withUid:elapsed: returns it in the callback. Your application must record and maintain the returned user ID, because the SDK does not do so.
joinSuccessBlockOccurs 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.

uid: (NSUInteger)  uid
mediaOptions: (AgoraRtcChannelMediaOptions *_Nonnull)  mediaOptions
joinSuccess: (void(^)(NSString *_Nonnull channel, NSUInteger uid, NSInteger elapsed))  joinSuccessBlock 

Joins a channel with media options.

Compared to joinChannelByToken:channelId:info:uid:joinSuccess:, 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 sharedEngineWithConfig:delegate:. Related callbacks: A successful call of this method triggers the following callbacks:

  • The local client: The rtcEngine:didJoinChannel:withUid:elapsed: and rtcEngine:connectionChangedToState:reason: callbacks.
  • The remote client: The rtcEngine:didJoinedOfUid:elapsed: 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.

◆ leaveChannel:

- (int) leaveChannel: (void(^)(AgoraChannelStats *_Nonnull stat))  leaveChannelBlock

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 rtcEngine:didLeaveChannelWithStats: callback will be triggered.
  • The remote client: The rtcEngine:didOfflineOfUid:reason: callback will be triggered after the remote host leaves the channel.
Note
If you call destroy immediately after calling this method, the SDK does not trigger the rtcEngine:didLeaveChannelWithStats: 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 joinChannelExByToken:connection:delegate:mediaOptions:joinSuccess: to join multiple channels, calling this method will leave all the channels you joined.
Parameters
leaveChannelBlockThis callback indicates that a user leaves a channel, and provides the statistics of the call in AgoraChannelStats.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -1: A general error occurs (no specified reason).
    • -2: The parameter is invalid.
    • -7: The SDK is not initialized.

◆ setChannelProfile:

- (int) setChannelProfile: (AgoraChannelProfile profile

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.
  • on iOS, the default audio routing of the SDK is different in different channel scenarios, See setDefaultAudioRouteToSpeakerphone:.
Parameters
profileThe channel profile. See AgoraChannelProfile.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -2: The parameter is invalid.
    • -7: The SDK is not initialized.

◆ updateChannelWithMediaOptions:

- (int) updateChannelWithMediaOptions: (AgoraRtcChannelMediaOptions *_Nonnull)  mediaOptions

Updates the channel media options after joining the channel.

Parameters
mediaOptionsThe channel media options. See AgoraRtcChannelMediaOptions.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -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.

◆ setClientRole:

- (int) setClientRole: (AgoraClientRole role

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 rtcEngine:didClientRoleChanged:newRole:newRoleOptions: 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 rtcEngine:didJoinedOfUid:elapsed: or rtcEngine:didOfflineOfUid:reason: 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 rtcEngine:didClientRoleChangeFailed:currentRole: 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 rtcEngine:didClientRoleChanged:newRole:newRoleOptions: 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 AgoraClientRole. 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:options:

- (int) setClientRole: (AgoraClientRole role
options: (AgoraClientRoleOptions *_Nullable)  options 

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: 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 rtcEngine:didClientRoleChanged:newRole:newRoleOptions: 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 rtcEngine:didJoinedOfUid:elapsed: or rtcEngine:didOfflineOfUid:reason: 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 rtcEngine:didClientRoleChangeFailed:currentRole: 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 AgoraAudienceLatencyLevelUltraLowLatency. When calling this method before joining a channel and setting the role to BROADCASTER, the rtcEngine:didClientRoleChanged:newRole:newRoleOptions: 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 AgoraClientRole. 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 AgoraClientRoleOptions.
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.

◆ renewToken:

- (int) renewToken: (NSString *_Nonnull)  token

Renews the token.

This method is used to update the token. After successfully calling this method, the SDK will trigger the rtcEngine:renewTokenResult:code: 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 rtcEngine:tokenPrivilegeWillExpire: callback reporting the token is about to expire.
  • Receiving the rtcEngineRequestToken: callback reporting the token has expired.
  • Receiving the rtcEngine:connectionChangedToState:reason: callback reporting AgoraConnectionChangedReasonTokenExpired (9).
Parameters
tokenThe new token.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -2: The parameter is invalid. For example, the token is empty.
    • -7: The AgoraRtcEngineKit object has not been initialized. You need to initialize the AgoraRtcEngineKit 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.

◆ getConnectionState

- (AgoraConnectionState) getConnectionState

Gets the current connection state of the SDK.

Call timing: This method can be called either before or after joining the channel.

Returns
The current connection state. See AgoraConnectionState.

◆ startOrUpdateChannelMediaRelay:

- (int) startOrUpdateChannelMediaRelay: (AgoraChannelMediaRelayConfiguration *_Nonnull)  config

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
configThe configuration of the media stream relay. See AgoraChannelMediaRelayConfiguration.
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.

◆ stopChannelMediaRelay

- (int) stopChannelMediaRelay

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

◆ pauseAllChannelMediaRelay

- (int) pauseAllChannelMediaRelay

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

◆ resumeAllChannelMediaRelay

◆ startLocalVideoTranscoder:

- (int) startLocalVideoTranscoder: (AgoraLocalTranscoderConfiguration *_Nonnull)  config

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:backData:segData:, and set the custom background image to AgoraVirtualBackgroundNone, that is, separate the portrait and the background in the video captured by the camera.

  1. Call startScreenCapture: (iOS)/startScreenCapture:config: (macOS) 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:config: or startScreenCapture: (iOS)/startScreenCapture:config: (macOS).
  • If you want to publish the mixed video stream to the channel, you need to set publishTranscodedVideoTrack in AgoraRtcChannelMediaOptions to YES when calling joinChannelByToken:channelId:uid:mediaOptions:joinSuccess: or updateChannelWithMediaOptions:. Related callbacks: When you fail to call this method, the SDK triggers the rtcEngine:didLocalVideoTranscoderErrorWithStream:errorCode: 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 iOS, it supports up to 2 video streams captured by cameras (the device itself needs to support dual cameras or support external cameras) + 1 screen sharing stream.
    • On macOS, it supports up to 4 video streams captured by 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 AgoraLocalTranscoderConfiguration.Attention:
  • The maximum resolution of each video stream participating in the local video mixing is 4096 ×
  1. If this limit is exceeded, video mixing does not take effect.
  • The maximum resolution of the mixed video stream is 4096 × 2160.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ startLocalAudioMixer:

- (int) startLocalAudioMixer: (AgoraLocalAudioMixerConfiguration *_Nonnull)  config

Starts local audio mixing.

This method supports merging multiple audio streams into one audio stream locally. For example, merging the audio streams captured from the local microphone, and that from the media player, the sound card, and the remote users into one audio stream, and then publish the merged audio stream to the channel.

  • If you want to mix the locally captured audio streams, you can set publishMixedAudioTrack in AgoraRtcChannelMediaOptions to YES, and then publish the mixed audio stream to the channel.
  • If you want to mix the remote audio stream, ensure that the remote audio stream has been published in the channel and you have subcribed to the audio stream that you need to mix. Applicable scenarios: You can enable this function in the following scenarios:
  • By utilizing the local video mixing feature, the associated audio streams of the mixed video streams can be simultaneously captured and published.
  • In live streaming scenarios, users can receive audio streams within the channel, mix multiple audio streams locally, and then forward the mixed audio stream to other channels.
  • In online classes, teachers can mix the audio from interactions with students locally and then forward the mixed audio stream to other channels. Call timing: You can call this method either before or after joining a channel.

◆ startMediaRenderingTracing

- (int) startMediaRenderingTracing

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.
Returns
  • 0: Success.

Releases the AgoraRtcEngineKit 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 sharedEngineWithConfig:delegate: to create a new AgoraRtcEngineKit instance.

Note
- Agora does not recommend you calling destroy in any callback of the SDK. Otherwise, the SDK cannot release the resources until the callbacks return results, which may result in a deadlock.

◆ destroy:

+ (void) destroy: (void(^)(void))  engineReleasedBlock

Destroys the AgoraRtcEngineKit instance and releases related resources.

Since
v4.6.0

When you no longer need real-time communication, call this method to release the AgoraRtcEngineKit instance and its related resources, so that the released resources can be used for other operations. It is recommended for scenarios where users make voice or video interactions.

Parameters
engineReleasedBlockWhen the AgoraRtcEngineKit instance is destroyed, the callback is triggered to configure the synchronous or asynchronous destruction:
  • Non-nil:Asynchronous destruction. The method returns immediately, while the engine resources might not be fully released. The engineReleasedBlock callback is triggered after the engine is destroyed.
  • nil:Synchronous destruction. The method returns only after the engine resources are fully released.

◆ enableAudio

- (int) enableAudio

Enables the audio module.

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:mute:: 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:mute:, and muteAllRemoteAudioStreams:. Proceed it with caution.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ disableAudio

- (int) disableAudio

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.
  • (macOS only) enableLoopbackRecording:deviceName:: Whether to enable loopback audio capturing.
  • muteLocalAudioStream:: Whether to publish the local audio stream.
  • muteRemoteAudioStream:mute:: Whether to subscribe and play the remote audio stream.
  • muteAllRemoteAudioStreams:: Whether to subscribe to and play all remote audio streams.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ enableLocalAudio:

- (int) enableLocalAudio: (BOOL)  enabled

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: (NO) 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 rtcEngine:localAudioStateChanged:reason: callback, which reports AgoraAudioLocalStateStopped (0) or AgoraAudioLocalStateRecording (1).
Parameters
enabled- YES: (Default) Re-enable the local audio function, that is, to start the local audio capturing device (for example, the microphone).
  • NO: Disable the local audio function, that is, to stop local audio capturing.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ setAudioProfile:

- (int) setAudioProfile: (AgoraAudioProfile profile

Sets the audio profile.

If you need to set the audio scenario, you can either call setAudioScenario:, or sharedEngineWithConfig:delegate: and set the audioScenario in AgoraRtcEngineConfig. 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 AgoraAudioProfileMusicHighQuality(4). Call timing: You can call this method either before or after joining a channel.

Parameters
profileThe audio profile, including the sampling rate, bitrate, encoding mode, and the number of channels. See AgoraAudioProfile.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ setAudioScenario:

- (int) setAudioScenario: (AgoraAudioScenario scenario

Sets the audio scenario.

Applicable scenarios: This method is suitable for various audio scenarios. You can choose as needed. For example, in scenarios such as music teaching that require high sound quality, it is recommended to set scenario to AgoraAudioScenarioGameStreaming(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 AgoraAudioScenarioGameStreaming(3). In this scenario, the SDK will switch to media volume to avoid this issue.
Parameters
scenarioThe audio scenarios. Under different audio scenarios, the device uses different volume types. See AgoraAudioScenario.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ enableAudioVolumeIndication:smooth:reportVad:

- (int) enableAudioVolumeIndication: (NSInteger)  interval
smooth: (NSInteger)  smooth
reportVad: (BOOL)  reportVad 

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 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
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 rtcEngine:reportAudioVolumeIndicationOfSpeakers:totalVolume: 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- 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.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ adjustUserPlaybackSignalVolume:volume:

- (int) adjustUserPlaybackSignalVolume: (NSUInteger)  uid

  • < 0: Failure.

◆ startRecordingDeviceTest:

- (int) startRecordingDeviceTest: (int)  indicationInterval

Starts the audio capturing device test.

This method tests whether the audio capturing device works properly. After calling this method, the SDK triggers the rtcEngine:reportAudioVolumeIndicationOfSpeakers:totalVolume: callback at the time interval set in this method, which reports uid = 0 and the volume information of the capturing device. The difference between this method and the startEchoTestWithConfig: method is that the former checks if the local audio capturing device is working properly, while the latter can check the audio and video devices and network conditions.

Note
Call this method before joining a channel. After the test is completed, call stopRecordingDeviceTest to stop the test before joining a channel.
Parameters
indicationIntervalThe interval (ms) for triggering the rtcEngine:reportAudioVolumeIndicationOfSpeakers:totalVolume: callback. This value should be set to greater than 10, otherwise, you will not receive the rtcEngine:reportAudioVolumeIndicationOfSpeakers:totalVolume: callback and the SDK returns the error code -2. Agora recommends that you set this value to 100.
Returns

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 nil. 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 AgoraVideoModulePositionPostCaptureOrigin and AgoraVideoModulePositionPostCapture, 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:mirror: instead.

        • Bitrate: 1600 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:streamConfig: to set that never send low-quality video stream ( AgoraDisableSimulcastStream ), 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 AgoraSimulcastStreamConfig configuration used in the most recent calling of setDualStreamMode: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 AgoraApplication1V1Scenario (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. AgoraApplicationLiveShowScenario (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.

◆ setDualStreamMode:

- (int) setDualStreamMode: (AgoraSimulcastStreamMode mode

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 setRemoteVideoStream:type:, 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 enableDualStreamMode: is as follows:
  • When calling this method and setting mode to AgoraDisableSimulcastStream, it has the same effect as enableDualStreamMode: (NO).
  • When calling this method and setting mode to AgoraEnableSimulcastStream, it has the same effect as enableDualStreamMode: (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
modeThe mode in which the video stream is sent. See AgoraSimulcastStreamMode.
Returns

  • < 0: Failure.

◆ setDualStreamMode:streamConfig:

- (int) setDualStreamMode: (AgoraSimulcastStreamMode mode
streamConfig: (AgoraSimulcastStreamConfig *_Nonnull)  streamConfig 

Sets dual-stream mode configuration 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 setRemoteVideoStream:type:, 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. The difference between this method and setDualStreamMode: 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:streamConfig: is as follows:
  • When calling this method and setting mode to AgoraDisableSimulcastStream, it has the same effect as calling enableDualStreamMode:streamConfig: and setting enabled to NO.
  • When calling this method and setting mode to AgoraEnableSimulcastStream, it has the same effect as calling enableDualStreamMode:streamConfig: and setting enabled to 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
modeThe mode in which the video stream is sent. See AgoraSimulcastStreamMode.
streamConfigThe configuration of the low-quality video stream. See AgoraSimulcastStreamConfig.Note: When setting mode to AgoraDisableSimulcastStream, setting streamConfig will not take effect.

◆ setSimulcastConfig:

- (int) setSimulcastConfig: (AgoraSimulcastConfig *_Nonnull)  simulcastConfig

Sets the simulcast video stream configuration.

Since
v4.6.0

You can call this method to set video streams with different resolutions for the same video source. The subscribers can call setRemoteVideoStream:type: 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.

Parameters
simulcastConfigConfiguration for different video steam layers. This configuration includes seven layers, from AgoraStreamLayer1 to AgoraStreamLow, with a maximum of three layers enabled simultaneously. See AgoraSimulcastConfig.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ setRemoteDefaultVideoStreamType:

- (int) setRemoteDefaultVideoStreamType: (AgoraVideoStreamType streamType

Sets the default 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. 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 setRemoteVideoStream:type:, the setting of setRemoteVideoStream:type: takes effect.
Parameters
streamTypeThe default video-stream type. See AgoraVideoStreamType.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ setRemoteVideoSubscriptionOptions:options:

- (int) setRemoteVideoSubscriptionOptions: (NSUInteger)  uid
options: (AgoraVideoSubscriptionOptions *_Nonnull)  options 

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 AgoraVideoFrameDelegate observer is registered, the default is to subscribe to both raw data and encoded data.
  • If the AgoraEncodedVideoFrameDelegate 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 AgoraVideoFrameDelegate 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 AgoraVideoSubscriptionOptions.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

Sets the allowlist of subscriptions for audio streams.

You can call this method to specify the audio streams of a user that you want to subscribe to.

Note
  • You can call this method either before or after joining a channel.
  • The allowlist is not affected by the setting in muteRemoteAudioStream:mute:, muteAllRemoteAudioStreams: and autoSubscribeAudio in AgoraRtcChannelMediaOptions.
  • Once the allowlist of subscriptions is set, it is effective even if you leave the current channel and rejoin the channel.
  • If a user is added in the allowlist and blocklist at the same time, only the blocklist takes effect.
Parameters
allowlistThe user ID list of users that you want to subscribe to. If you want to specify the audio streams of a user for subscription, add the user ID in this list. If you want to remove a user from the allowlist, you need to call the setSubscribeAudioAllowlist: method to update the user ID list; this means you only add the uid of users that you want to subscribe to in the new user ID list.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ setSubscribeVideoAllowlist:

- (int) setSubscribeVideoAllowlist: (NSArray< NSNumber * > *_Nonnull)  allowlist

Sets the allowlist of subscriptions for video streams.

You can call this method to specify the video streams of a user that you want to subscribe to.

Note
  • You can call this method either before or after joining a channel.
  • The allowlist is not affected by the setting in muteRemoteVideoStream:mute:, muteAllRemoteVideoStreams: and autoSubscribeAudio in AgoraRtcChannelMediaOptions.
  • Once the allowlist of subscriptions is set, it is effective even if you leave the current channel and rejoin the channel.
  • If a user is added in the allowlist and blocklist at the same time, only the blocklist takes effect.
Parameters
allowlistThe user ID list of users that you want to subscribe to. If you want to specify the video streams of a user for subscription, add the user ID in this list. If you want to remove a user from the allowlist, you need to call the setSubscribeVideoAllowlist: method to update the user ID list; this means you only add the uid of users that you want to subscribe to in the new user ID list.
Returns
  • 0: Success.

◆ setHighPriorityUserList:option:

- (int) setHighPriorityUserList: (NSArray< NSNumber * > *_Nullable)  uidList
option: (AgoraStreamFallbackOptions)  option 

Sets high priority user list and related remote subscribe stream fallback option.

This method sets the high priority user list and disables/enables the vips' remote subscribe stream fallback option according to the network conditions in NASA2.

If you use the option as AgoraStreamFallbackOptionAudioOnly = 2, the AutVos will automatically switch the video from a high-stream to a low-stream, or disable the video when the downlink network conditions cannot support both audio and video to guarantee the quality of the audio. The AutVos monitors the network quality and re-enables the video stream when the network conditions improve. Once the subscribed stream falls back to audio only, or the audio stream switches back to the video stream, the [didRemoteSubscribeFallbackToAudioOnly]([AgoraRtcEngineDelegate rtcEngine:didRemoteSubscribeFallbackToAudioOnly:byUid:]) callback will be triggered.

Parameters
optionAgoraStreamFallbackOptions
Returns
* 0: Success. <0: Failure.

◆ pullPlaybackAudioFrameRawData:lengthInByte:

- (BOOL) pullPlaybackAudioFrameRawData: (void *_Nonnull)  data
lengthInByte: (NSUInteger)  lengthInByte 

Pulls the remote audio data.

After a successful call of this method, the app pulls the decoded and mixed audio data for playback. Call timing: Call this method after joining a channel. Before calling this method, call enableExternalAudioSink:sampleRate:channels: (enabled: YES) to notify the app to enable and set the external audio rendering.

Note
Both this method and the onPlaybackAudioFrame: callback can be used to get audio data after remote mixing. After calling enableExternalAudioSink:sampleRate:channels: to enable external audio rendering, the app will no longer be able to obtain data from the onPlaybackAudioFrame: callback. Therefore, you should choose between this method and the onPlaybackAudioFrame: callback based on your actual business requirements. The specific distinctions between them are as follows:
  • After calling this method, the app automatically pulls the audio data from the SDK. By setting the audio data parameters, the SDK adjusts the frame buffer to help the app handle latency, effectively avoiding audio playback jitter.
  • After registering the onPlaybackAudioFrame: callback, the SDK sends the audio data to the app through the callback. Any delay in processing the audio frames may result in audio jitter. This method is only used for retrieving audio data after remote mixing. If you need to get audio data from different audio processing stages such as capture and playback, you can register the corresponding callbacks by calling setAudioFrameDelegate:.
Parameters
dataThe remote audio data to be pulled. The data type is byte[].
lengthInByteThe data length (byte). The value of this parameter is related to the audio duration, and the values of the sampleRate and channels parameters that you set in enableExternalAudioSink:sampleRate:channels:. lengthInByte = sampleRate/1000 × 2 × channels × audio duration (ms).
Returns
  • YES: Success.
  • NO: Failure.

◆ pullPlaybackAudioFrameSampleBufferByLengthInByte:

- (CMSampleBufferRef _Nullable) pullPlaybackAudioFrameSampleBufferByLengthInByte: (NSUInteger)  lengthInByte

Pulls remote audio data in the SampleBuffer format.

After a successful call of this method, the app pulls the decoded and mixed audio data for playback.

Parameters
lengthInByteThe data length (byte). The value of this parameter is related to the audio duration, and the values of the sampleRate and channels parameters that you set in enableExternalAudioSink:sampleRate:channels:. lengthInByte = sampleRate/1000 × 2 × channels × audio duration (ms).
Returns
  • YES: Success.
  • NO: Failure.

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
enabledWhether to enable built-in encryption:
  • YES: Enable the built-in encryption.
  • NO: (Default) Disable the built-in encryption.
configBuilt-in encryption configurations. See AgoraEncryptionConfig.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -2: An invalid parameter is used. Set the parameter with a valid value.
    • -4: The built-in encryption mode is incorrect or the SDK fails to load the external encryption library. Check the enumeration or reload the external encryption library.
    • -7: The SDK is not initialized. Initialize the AgoraRtcEngineKit instance before calling this method.

◆ createDataStream:config:

- (int) createDataStream: (NSInteger *_Nonnull)  streamId
config: (AgoraDataStreamConfig *_Nonnull)  config 

Creates a data stream.

Compared to createDataStream:reliable:ordered:, 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: You can call this method either before or after joining a channel.

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
streamIdAn output parameter; the ID of the data stream created.
configThe configurations for the data stream. See AgoraDataStreamConfig.
Returns
  • 0: The data stream is successfully created.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ sendRdtMessage:type:data:

  • < 0: Failure.

◆ startRtmpStreamWithoutTranscoding:

- (int) startRtmpStreamWithoutTranscoding: (NSString *_Nonnull)  url

Starts pushing media streams to a CDN without transcoding.

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 rtcEngine:rtmpStreamingChangedToState:state:reason: 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.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -2: The URL or configuration of transcoding is invalid; check your URL and transcoding configurations.
    • -7: The SDK is not initialized before calling this method.
    • -19: The Media Push URL is already in use; use another URL instead.

◆ startRtmpStreamWithTranscoding:transcoding:

- (int) startRtmpStreamWithTranscoding: (NSString *_Nonnull)  url
transcoding: (AgoraLiveTranscoding *_Nullable)  transcoding 

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 rtcEngine:rtmpStreamingChangedToState:state:reason: 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 AgoraLiveTranscoding.
Returns
  • 0: Success.

◆ updateRtmpTranscoding:

- (int) updateRtmpTranscoding: (AgoraLiveTranscoding *_Nullable)  transcoding

Updates the transcoding configuration.

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 rtcEngineTranscodingUpdated: callback after the transcoding configuration is updated.

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

◆ stopRtmpStream:

- (int) stopRtmpStream: (NSString *_Nonnull)  url

Stops pushing media streams to a CDN.

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

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.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ setScreenCaptureScenario:

- (int) setScreenCaptureScenario: (AgoraScreenScenarioType scenarioType

Sets the screen sharing scenario.

When you start screen sharing or window sharing, you can call this method to set the screen sharing scenario. The SDK adjusts the video quality and experience of the sharing according to the scenario.

Note
Agora recommends that you call this method before joining a channel.
Parameters
scenarioTypeThe screen sharing scenario. See AgoraScreenScenarioType.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ stopScreenCapture

- (int) stopScreenCapture

Stops screen capture.

Applicable scenarios:

  • iOS: If you start screen capture by calling startScreenCapture:, you need to call this method to stop screen capture.
  • macOS: If you start screen capture by calling startScreenCaptureByWindowId:regionRect:captureParams: or startScreenCaptureByDisplayId:regionRect:captureParams:, you need to call this method to stop screen capture. Call timing: You can call this method either before or after joining a channel.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ startScreenCapture:

- (int) startScreenCapture: (AgoraScreenCaptureParameters2 *_Nullable)  parameters

Starts screen capture.

Applicable scenarios: In the screen sharing scenario, you need to call this method to start capturing the screen video stream. Call timing: You can call this method either before or after joining the channel, with the following differences:

  • Call this method first and then call joinChannelByToken:channelId:uid:mediaOptions:joinSuccess: to join channel and set publishScreenCaptureVideo to YES to start screen sharing.
  • Call this method after joining a channel, then call updateChannelWithMediaOptions: and set publishScreenCaptureVideo to YES to start screen sharing. Related callbacks: When the state of the screen sharing extension process changes, the SDK triggers the rtcEngine:localVideoStateChangedOfState:reason:sourceType: callback accordingly. When the type of sourceType is AgoraVideoSourceTypeScreen, the state parameter indicates the state of the screen sharing.
Note
  • On the iOS platform, screen sharing is only available on iOS 12.0 and later.
  • If you are using the custom audio source instead of the SDK to capture audio, Agora recommends you add the keep-alive processing logic to your application to avoid screen sharing stopping when the application goes to the background.
  • This feature requires high-performance device, and Agora recommends that you use it on iPhone X and later models.
  • This method relies on the iOS screen sharing dynamic library AgoraReplayKitExtension.xcframework. If the dynamic library is deleted, screen sharing cannot be enabled normally.
  • To avoid system audio capture failure when sharing screen, Agora recommends that you set the audio application scenario to AgoraAudioScenarioGameStreaming by using the setAudioScenario: method before joining the channel.
  • The billing for the screen sharing stream is based on the dimensions in AgoraScreenVideoParameters:
    • When you do not pass in a value, Agora bills you at 1280 × 720.
    • When you pass in a value, Agora bills you at that value.
Parameters
parametersThe screen sharing encoding parameters. See AgoraScreenCaptureParameters2.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.
    • -2 (iOS platform): Empty parameter.

◆ updateScreenCapture:

Updates the screen sharing configuration.

Parameters
parametersThe configuration of the screen sharing.
Note
This method applies to iOS 11+ only.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ queryScreenCaptureCapability

- (AgoraScreenCaptureFrameRateCapability) queryScreenCaptureCapability

Queries the highest frame rate supported by the device during screen sharing.

Since
v4.2.0

Applicable scenarios: To ensure optimal screen sharing performance, particularly in enabling high frame rates like 60 fps, Agora recommends you to query the device's maximum supported frame rate using this method beforehand. This way, if the device cannot support such a high frame rate, you can adjust the screen sharing stream accordingly to avoid any negative impact on the sharing quality. If the device does not support high frame rate, you can reduce the frame rate of the screen sharing stream appropriately when sharing the screen to ensure that the sharing effect meets your expectation.

Returns
  • The highest frame rate supported by the device, if the method is called successfully. See AgoraScreenCaptureFrameRateCapability.
  • If the call fails, returns nil.

◆ queryCameraFocalLengthCapability

- (NSArray<AgoraFocalLengthInfo *>* _Nullable) queryCameraFocalLengthCapability

Queries the focal length capability supported by the camera.

If you want to enable the wide-angle or ultra-wide-angle mode for camera capture, it is recommended to start by calling this method to check whether the device supports the required focal length capability. Then, adjust the camera's focal length configuration based on the query result by calling setCameraCapturerConfiguration:, ensuring the best camera capture performance.

Returns
Returns an array of AgoraFocalLengthInfo objects, which contain the camera's orientation and focal length type.

◆ cameraMaxZoomFactor

- (CGFloat) cameraMaxZoomFactor

Gets the maximum zoom ratio supported by the camera.

Note
- This method must be called after the SDK triggers the rtcEngine:localVideoStateChangedOfState:reason:sourceType: callback and returns the local video state as AgoraVideoLocalStateCapturing (1).
Returns
The maximum zoom ratio supported by the camera.

◆ switchCamera

- (int) switchCamera

Switches between front and rear cameras.

You can call this method to dynamically switch cameras based on the actual camera availability during the app's runtime, without having to restart the video stream or reconfigure the video source. Call timing: This method must be called after the camera is successfully enabled, that is, after the SDK triggers the rtcEngine:localVideoStateChangedOfState:reason:sourceType: callback and returns the local video state as AgoraVideoLocalStateCapturing (1).

Note
This method only switches the camera for the video stream captured by the first camera, that is, the video source set to AgoraVideoSourceTypeCamera (0) when calling startCameraCapture:config:.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ enableMultiCamera:config:

- (int) enableMultiCamera: (BOOL)  enabled
config: (AgoraCameraCapturerConfiguration *_Nullable)  config 

Enables or disables multi-camera capture.

In scenarios where there are existing cameras to capture video, Agora recommends that you use the following steps to capture and publish video with multiple cameras:1. Call this method to enable multi-channel camera capture.

  1. Call startPreview: to start the local video preview.
  2. Call startCameraCapture:config:, and set sourceType to start video capture with the second camera.
  3. Call joinChannelExByToken:connection:delegate:mediaOptions:joinSuccess:, and set publishSecondaryCameraTrack to YES to publish the video stream captured by the second camera in the channel. If you want to disable multi-channel camera capture, use the following steps:1. Call stopCameraCapture:.
  1. Call this method with enabled set to NO. When using this function, ensure that the system version is 13.0 or later. The minimum iOS device types that support multi-camera capture are as follows:
  • iPhone XR
  • iPhone XS
  • iPhone XS Max
  • iPad Pro 3rd generation and later
Note
You can call this method before and after startPreview: to enable multi-camera capture:
  • If it is enabled before startPreview:, the local video preview shows the image captured by the two cameras at the same time.
  • If it is enabled after startPreview:, the SDK stops the current camera capture first, and then enables the primary camera and the second camera. The local video preview appears black for a short time, and then automatically returns to normal.
Parameters
enabledWhether to enable multi-camera video capture mode:
  • YES: Enable multi-camera capture mode; the SDK uses multiple cameras to capture video.
  • NO: Disable multi-camera capture mode; the SDK uses a single camera to capture video.
configCapture configuration for the second camera. See AgoraCameraCapturerConfiguration.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ enableCameraCenterStage:

- (int) enableCameraCenterStage: (BOOL)  enabled

Enables or disables portrait center stage.

The portrait center stage feature is off by default. You need to call this method to turn it on. If you need to disable this feature, you need to call this method again and set enabled to NO. Applicable scenarios: The portrait center stage feature can be widely used in scenarios such as online meetings, shows, online education, etc. The host can use this feature to ensure that they are always in the center of the screen, whether they move or not, in order to achieve a good display effect. Call timing: This method must be called after the camera is successfully enabled, that is, after the SDK triggers the rtcEngine:localVideoStateChangedOfState:reason:sourceType: callback and returns the local video state as AgoraVideoLocalStateCapturing (1).

  • < 0: Failure.

◆ stopCameraCapture:

- (int) stopCameraCapture: (AgoraVideoSourceType sourceType

Stops camera capture.

After calling startCameraCapture:config: to start capturing video through one or more cameras, you can call this method and set the sourceType parameter to stop the capture from the specified cameras.

Note
  • If you are using the local video mixing function, calling this method can cause the local video mixing to be interrupted.
  • On iOS, if you want to disable multi-camera capture, you need to call enableMultiCamera:config: after calling this method and set enabled to NO.
Parameters
sourceTypeThe type of the video source. See AgoraVideoSourceType.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ enableFaceDetection:

- (int) enableFaceDetection: (BOOL)  enable

Enables or disables face detection for the local user.

Call timing: This method needs to be called after the camera is started (for example, by calling startPreview: or enableVideo ). Related callbacks: Once face detection is enabled, the SDK triggers the rtcEngine:facePositionDidChangeWidth:previewHeight:faces: callback to report the face information of the local user, which includes the following:

  • The width and height of the local video.
  • The position of the human face in the local view.
  • The distance between the human face and the screen.
Parameters
enableWhether to enable face detection for the local user:
  • YES: Enable face detection.
  • NO: (Default) Disable face detection.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ addVideoWatermark:options:

- (int) addVideoWatermark: (NSURL *_Nonnull)  url
options: (WatermarkOptions *_Nonnull)  options 

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 setVideoEncoderConfiguration: 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 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) AgoraVideoModulePositionPostCapture YES Yes
    NO No
    AgoraVideoModulePositionPreEncoder YES Yes
    NO 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:transcoding: 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.
Parameters
urlThe 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.
optionsThe options of the watermark image to be added. See WatermarkOptions.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ addVideoWatermarkWithConfig:

- (int) addVideoWatermarkWithConfig: (WatermarkConfig *_Nonnull)  config

Adds a watermark image to the local video.

Since
4.6.0

You can use this method to overlay a watermark image on the local video stream, and configure the watermark's position, size, and visibility in the preview using WatermarkConfig.

Parameters
configConfiguration of the watermark image. See WatermarkConfig.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ removeVideoWatermark:

- (int) removeVideoWatermark: (NSString *_Nonnull)  id

Removes the watermark image from the local video.

Since
4.6.0

This method removes a previously added watermark image from the local video stream using the specified unique ID.

Parameters
idThe identifier of the watermark to be removed.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ registerLocalUserAccount:appId:

- (int) registerLocalUserAccount: (NSString *_Nonnull)  userAccount
appId: (NSString *_Nonnull)  appId 

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 registerLocalUserAccountWithAppID:userAccount: method to register a user account, and then call the joinChannelByToken:channelId:userAccount:joinSuccess: or joinChannelByToken:channelId:userAccount:mediaOptions:joinSuccess: method to join a channel, which can shorten the time it takes to enter the channel.
  • Call the joinChannelByToken:channelId:userAccount:joinSuccess: or joinChannelByToken:channelId:userAccount:mediaOptions:joinSuccess: method to join a channel. Related callbacks: After successfully calling this method, the rtcEngine:didLocalUserRegisteredWithUserId:userAccount: 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 joinChannelByToken:channelId:userAccount:mediaOptions:joinSuccess: method to join the channel, instead of calling joinChannelByToken:channelId:uid:mediaOptions:joinSuccess: 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
appIDThe App ID of your project on Agora Console.
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 nil. Supported characters are as follow(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.

◆ joinChannelByToken:channelId:userAccount:joinSuccess:

- (int) joinChannelByToken: (NSString *_Nullable)  token
channelId: (NSString *_Nonnull)  channelId
userAccount: (NSString *_Nonnull)  userAccount
joinSuccess: (void(^)(NSString *_Nonnull channel, NSUInteger uid, NSInteger elapsed))  joinSuccessBlock 

Joins a channel with a User Account and Token.

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. To stop subscribing to a specified stream or all remote streams, call the corresponding mute methods. 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
tokenThe 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.
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.
  • "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", "{", "}", "|", "~", ","
userAccountThe user account. This parameter is used to identify the user in the channel for real-time audio and video engagement. You need to set and manage user accounts yourself and ensure that each user account in the same channel is unique. The maximum length of this parameter is 255 bytes. Ensure that you set this parameter and do not set it as nil. Supported characters are as follows(89 in total):
  • The 26 lowercase English letters: a to z.
  • The 26 uppercase English letters: A to Z.
  • All numeric characters: 0 to 9.
  • Space
  • "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", "{", "}", "|", "~", ","
joinSuccessBlockOccurs 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.

◆ joinChannelByToken:channelId:userAccount:mediaOptions:joinSuccess:

- (int) joinChannelByToken: (NSString *_Nullable)  token
channelId: (NSString *_Nonnull)  channelId
userAccount: (NSString *_Nonnull)  userAccount
mediaOptions: (AgoraRtcChannelMediaOptions *_Nonnull)  mediaOptions
joinSuccess: (void(^)(NSString *_Nonnull channel, NSUInteger uid, NSInteger elapsed))  joinSuccessBlock 

Join a channel using a user account and 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. Compared to joinChannelByToken:channelId:userAccount:joinSuccess:, 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 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
tokenThe 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.
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.
  • "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", "{", "}", "|", "~", ","
userAccountThe user account. This parameter is used to identify the user in the channel for real-time audio and video engagement. You need to set and manage user accounts yourself and ensure that each user account in the same channel is unique. The maximum length of this parameter is 255 bytes. Ensure that you set this parameter and do not set it as nil. Supported characters are as follows(89 in total):
  • The 26 lowercase English letters: a to z.
  • The 26 uppercase English letters: A to Z.
  • All numeric characters: 0 to 9.
  • Space
  • "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "_", "{", "}", "|", "~", ","
mediaOptionsThe channel media options. See AgoraRtcChannelMediaOptions.
joinSuccessBlockOccurs 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.

◆ setVideoFrameDelegate:

- (BOOL) setVideoFrameDelegate: (id< AgoraVideoFrameDelegate > _Nullable)  delegate

Registers a raw video frame observer object.

If you want to observe raw video frames (such as YUV or RGBA format), Agora recommends that you implement one AgoraVideoFrameDelegate class with this method. When calling this method to register a video observer, you can register callbacks in the AgoraVideoFrameDelegate class as needed. After you successfully register the video frame observer, the SDK triggers the registered callbacks each time a video frame is received. Applicable scenarios: After registering the raw video observer, you can use the obtained raw video data in various video pre-processing scenarios, such as virtual backgrounds and image enhacement by yourself. Agora provides an open source iOS sample project BeautyAPI on GitHub for your reference. Call timing: Call this method before joining a channel.

Note
When handling the video data returned in the callbacks, pay attention to the changes in the width and height parameters, which may be adapted under the following circumstances:
  • When network conditions deteriorate, the video resolution decreases incrementally.
  • If the user adjusts the video profile, the resolution of the video returned in the callbacks also changes.
Parameters
delegateThe observer instance. See AgoraVideoFrameDelegate. To release the instance, set the value as nil.
Returns
  • < 0: Failure.
  • YES: Success.
  • NO: Failure.

◆ setEncodedVideoFrameDelegate:

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
tokenThe 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.
connectionThe connection information. See AgoraRtcConnection.
delegateThe callback class of AgoraRtcEngine. See AgoraRtcEngineDelegate. You can get the callback events of multiple channels through the delegte object passed in this parameter.
mediaOptionsThe channel media options. See AgoraRtcChannelMediaOptions.
joinSuccessBlockOccurs 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.

◆ 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
remoteThe remote video view settings. See AgoraRtcVideoCanvas.

◆ 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
enabledWhether to enable dual-stream mode:
  • YES: Enable dual-stream mode.
  • NO: (Default) Disable dual-stream mode.
streamConfigThe configuration of the low-quality video stream. See AgoraSimulcastStreamConfig.Note: When setting mode to AgoraDisableSimulcastStream, setting streamConfig will not take effect.
connectionThe connection information. See AgoraRtcConnection.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ 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
modeThe mode in which the video stream is sent. See AgoraSimulcastStreamMode.
streamConfigThe configuration of the low-quality video stream. See AgoraSimulcastStreamConfig.Note: When setting mode to AgoraDisableSimulcastStream, setting streamConfig will not take effect.
connectionThe connection information. See AgoraRtcConnection.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ 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
simulcastConfigConfiguration for different video steam layers. This configuration includes seven layers, from AgoraStreamLayer1 to AgoraStreamLow, with a maximum of three layers enabled simultaneously. See AgoraSimulcastConfig.
connectionOne 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
uidThe user ID.
streamTypeThe video stream type, see AgoraVideoStreamType.
connectionThe 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
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 rtcEngine:reportAudioVolumeIndicationOfSpeakers:totalVolume: 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- 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.

◆ 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
uidThe user ID of the remote user.
panThe 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.
gainThe 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.
connectionThe 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
urlThe 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.
optionsThe options of the watermark image to be added. See WatermarkOptions.
connectionThe 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
streamIdAn output parameter; the ID of the data stream created.
reliableSets 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.
orderedSets 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.

◆ createDataStreamEx:config:connection:

- (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
streamIdAn output parameter; the ID of the data stream created.
configThe configurations for the data stream. See AgoraDataStreamConfig.
connectionThe connection information. See AgoraRtcConnection.
Returns
  • 0: The data stream is successfully created.
  • < 0: Failure.

◆ 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.

◆ startOrUpdateChannelMediaRelayEx:connection:

- (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
configThe configuration of the media stream relay. See AgoraChannelMediaRelayConfiguration.
connectionThe 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.

◆ 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.
