Network quality score

meeting.self.on('mediaScoreUpdate', ({ kind, isScreenshare, score, scoreStats }) => {
if (kind === 'video') {
console.log(
`Your ${isScreenshare ? 'screenshare' : 'video'} quality score is `,
score
);
}

if (kind === 'audio') {
console.log('Your audio quality score is ', score);
}

if (score < 5) {
console.log('Your media quality is poor');
