(BETA) If you're using the Daily call object along with WebSocket signaling (
signaling_impl = 'ws'in your room config), then you can try out a new set of room access control APIs geared towards implementing flows like a "lobby" where users can request full access to a meeting and wait for a meeting owner to let them in—behavior that previously only existed in the prebuilt UI. Briefly, these new methods and events let you:- Know your access level, even before attempting to join a meeting (
preAuth(),accessState(),'access-state-updated') - Request elevated access to a meeting (
requestAccess()) - Manage pending access requests, if you're a meeting owner (
waitingParticipants(),updateWaitingParticipant(),updateWaitingParticipants(),'waiting-participant-added','waiting-participant-updated','waiting-participant-removed')
You can read more about our new API methods and events in our reference docs. Make sure to check out the
privacyandenable_knockingroom flags! - Know your access level, even before attempting to join a meeting (
Bugfixes
setInputDevicesAsync()andgetInputDevices()can now more reliably be used anytime before invokingjoin().- The
'fullscreen'and'exited-fullscreen'events now have the expected payloads:{ action: 'fullscreen' }and{ action: 'exited-fullscreen' }, respectively.
Other improvements
- New versioning scheme, with an incrementing minor version! We got tired of all the 9's 😛
