Summary

IOWEBRTC-2441

On iOS 15 Safari, participants experience low sound output in calls. This is due to a known Apple bug in Safari/IOS15: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=230902 Workaround: Connecting and disconnecting a headset can sometimes fix the issue.

IOWEBRTC-2423

A muted microphone may appear to be in use, causing users to think that the microphone is in use when it is not.

IOWEBRTC-2402

On iOS 15 Safari, if a user switches to another incoming call during a video meeting, the remote video is not restored after that user returns to the meeting. This is due to a known bug in iOS 15: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=230537

IOWEBRTC-2339

On iOS Safari 15, if the mobile user puts the video meeting in the background or switches to another browser tab, sometimes the video does not resume after the app is brought to the foreground. This is due to an iOS bug, which is fixed in the iOS 15.2 release: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=230538 Workaround: Mute and unmute the camera.

IOWEBRTC-2274

In some cameras with zoom, the zoom function does not work. This issue occurs in VidyoClient binary 21.6.0.4 and earlier.

IOWEBRTC-2222

When a mobile device is in Portrait mode, the browser rotates the applied video constraints and switches to Landscape mode. This has been investigated and determined to be the behavior for the current Safari and Chrome browsers.

IOWEBRTC-2218

When using VP9 codec in desktop or mobile Chrome browsers, the application reacts too quickly to bandwidth fluctuations, which can sometimes lead to reduced outgoing video resolution.

IOWEBRTC-1942

On iOS, when a user starts sharing their camera (selects the camera as a source for content sharing), the video stream stops and remote participants see a black video tile. This is due to an iOS bug: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179363

IOWEBRTC-1921

On iOS Safari, video tiles that drop due to network conditions sometimes do not restore when network conditions improve. Workaround: Drop off the call and then rejoin.

IOWEBRTC-1863

On iOS Safari, low video resolution can occur if a user puts the mobile app in the background during a call, and then brings it back to the foreground.

IOWEBRTC-1861

On iOS 14.4-14.7.1, crackling audio noise can be heard during the first two seconds of the remote user audio stream. This is due to an iOS issue: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219161

IOWEBRTC-1823

VP8/VP9 users with limits for receive/send bandwidth may experience fluctuations in frames per second (FPS) and resolution during video calls.

IOWEBRTC-1784

Audio lip-sync is delayed on iOS Safari after flipping the camera during a call. This is a known issue with Safari that cannot be fixed by Enghouse Vidyo at this time.

IOWEBRTC-1719

On iOS 14+, video continues to transmit during an incoming voice call.

IOWEBRTC-1705

Chrome browser sometimes encodes only 720p/10-15 fps, even when the network has enough bandwidth to support a higher frame rate.

IOWEBRTC-1673

On Chrome in macOS with dual-core CPUs, the resolution drops when the CPU idle is at 30-50%.

IOWEBRTC-1637

Occasionally, after one hour in a call, the voices of meeting participants begin to sound distorted. Some users have described this distortion as "robotic voice". This issue has been investigated and determined to be a browser bug.
