Supported Environments

The Dolby.io Communications Client SDKs are compatible with the following Web Platforms and mobile operating systems. Certain features, such as simulcast, may have limited availability on certain platforms. Contact the Dolby.io Communications API support team for more information.

Web SDK

The Dolby.io Communications SDK for Web is compatible with Electron 24.4.0+ and the following browsers:

  • Chrome 109+
  • Edge 109+
  • Firefox 109+
  • Safari 16.2+

Note:

  • Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge 18 are not supported.
  • Microsoft Edge 90 and later versions may work on macOS but have not been extensively tested and are not supported.
  • Chrome and Safari with WebKitWebView may work on iOS but have not been extensively tested and are not supported.
  • Prior browser versions may work, however we cannot guarantee full functionality. We strongly recommend upgrading to the latest supported browser version to optimize your experience.
  • For supported browser platforms, we test against current and prior versions and will keep this document updated for minimum supported browser versions.

The Dolby Voice Codec (DVC), that is available in Dolby Voice conferences in SDK 3.5 and later versions, is supported only on Chrome and Edge on desktop operating systems. Using a different browser or a mobile operating system triggers the SDK to use Opus.

The following table presents the available codecs on the specific operating systems and browsers:

Supported operating system Supported browser
Chrome Edge Firefox Safari
Windows DVC or Opus DVC or Opus Opus N/A
macOS DVC or Opus DVC or Opus Opus Opus
Android Opus* X N/A N/A
iOS X X X Opus

* For Chrome compatibility with Android, contact Google for more information. The minimum supported Chrome version may not be compatible with earlier versions of Android.

The use of video processing requires using Chrome or Edge with Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) acceleration enabled and meeting the following minimum hardware requirements:

  • i5 dual-core CPU
  • 8GB of RAM
  • 64-bit operating system

📘

Note

Simultaneous use of a few compute-intensive features, such as DVC, Music mode, video processing, Simulcast, and Video Forwarding, requires i7+ CPU with a GPU to ensure high-quality audio and low-latency video.
