  • To conform with npm guidelines, the library type is now a "module". If you are referencing the library in your HTML, ensure that the script type is set to "module". See the example on https://www.npmjs.com/package/vidyoclient-nativewebrtc-sdk for details.
  • Ability to use FECC on the WebRTC endpoint’s camera
  • The VidyoClient for WebRTC JavaScript library now supports the ability to remotely control the pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) functionality of a camera used by a WebRTC client.
  • This functionality is especially useful in medical scenarios where a physician may need to control the patient’s camera remotely during an examination.
  • The user whose camera is being controlled must grant explicit permission to do so by calling the AllowRemoteCameraControl method on the localcamera class.
  • Support for more OS versions
  • We’ve added official support for Native WebRTC on these new OS versions:
  • Android 14
  • iOS 17
