Change default audio / video settings​

By default as soon as you join the meeting the SDK will produce your video and audio streams. To change this behaviour use the audioEnabled & videoEnabled parameter

final meetingInfo = DyteMeetingInfo(
      orgId = ORGNIZATION_ID,
      roomName = MEETING_ROOM_NAME,
      authToken = AUTH_TOKEN,
      audioEnabled = false,
      videoEnabled = true
    );

Turn audio/video tracks after joining the room​

If audio and video tracks are disabled during the DyteMobileClient initialization process. You can setup the audio and video tracks by simply calling enableAudio() and enableVideo() like below:

meeting.localUser.enableAudio();
meeting.localUser.enableVideo();

Change the name of the local user​

Change the user's name by calling setDisplayName method. The changed name will reflect across all participants ONLY if the change happens before joining the meeting.

meeting.localUser.setDisplayName("New Name")
