React Native SDK

3.10.0-beta.3

Beta 3 Changes

• Modified the cancel method responsible for canceling audio samples. The method is now renamed to stop and lets you stop recording and playing audio samples. It does not longer remove audio samples from the memory.

• Renamed the RecorderStatus model to AudioPreviewStatus.

Beta 3 Bug Fixes

Fixed a video view issue that caused a problem with rendering video elements on Android devices.

3.10.0 Features

• Introduced the ability to change the capture mode in non-Dolby Voice conferences and use either the Standard or Unprocessed mode.

• Introduced a new voiceFont property to AudioCaptureModeOptions that is supported in the Standard audio capture mode. Voice fonts allow participants to modify their voices in real time to improve social interaction in entertainment scenarios. For more information about this feature, see the Using Voice Fonts guide.

• Introduced a new preview method that allows the local participant to test different capture modes and voice fonts before a conference. The method sets a preview recorder that records the participant's audio and plays it back. Before playing the recorded audio, set the captureMode to a preferred setting that you wish to try.

• Introduced a new updateParticipantInfo method that lets participants modify their names and avatars while they are in a conference.

• The SDK now supports receiving two shared screens in one conference.

3.10.0 Changes

Changed the default value of the audio capture mode in non-Dolby Voice conferences to Standard with high noise reduction. This setting optimizes captured audio for speech by aggressively removing non-speech content. If you want to transmit non-stationary background sounds to a conference and create a more natural audio experience, you can set noise reduction to low, which offers a similar experience as the default setting in previous releases. If you wish to transmit non-voice audio to a conference as well and use input device setting without any processing, use the Unprocessed mode.
