Release History

6.2.4 (2026-08-26)

Release Notes

This is a maintenance release focused on audio-only and video-only broadcasts, making device permissions behave the way you would expect when you only need one of the two.

Bug Fixes:

• Audio-only and video-only permission handling: Until now, the SDK always requested both microphone and camera access before starting a session, even when you configured an audio-only or video-only broadcast. A missing or denied camera could therefore block an audio-only webcast entirely. The permission probe now matches your settings and only asks for the track kind you actually use.
• Device enumeration in audio-only mode: For the same reason, listing available devices could fail when one device kind was unavailable. Enumerating microphones no longer depends on camera access, and vice versa.

Sample Improvements:

• The main sample now shows an audio-only indicator on the preview, so it is immediately clear when a session carries no video.
• The samples request device permissions in line with the selected audio/video mode.

Bug Fixes:

• Chrome Bug Fix: We've addressed a bug in Chrome where requested resolutions were too low in our main sample.
• Metrics Continuity: We fixed an issue where metrics continued to be sent even after a webcast failure, now providing more accurate data.
