RemoteStageStream

A RemoteStageStream is a wrapper for media coming from remote participants. It's obtained from the StageEvents.STAGE_PARTICIPANT_STREAMS_ADDED event and contains APIs for manipulating the quality and state of the media playback.

The RemoteStageStream emits RemoteStageStreamEvents which can be listened to by calling stream.on(event, callback) or stream.off(event, callback). The callback types are defined in the RemoteStageStreamEventMap.

Accessors

id

Get Signature

get id(): string

Returns the MediaTrack Id for the track associated with the stream.

Returns

string

Implementation of

StageStream.id

---

isAdapting

Get Signature

get isAdapting(): boolean

Returns whether or not the server is dynamically adapting layers based on the network conditions of the device (true), or a manual layer has been chosen by the application (false).

Use this value in conjunction with the RemoteStageStream.getSelectedLayer to determine whether the selected layer is associated with Dynamic Simulcast or have been manually selected.

For example:

• isAdapting === true --> getSelectedLayer is server selected layer
• isAdapting === false --> getSelectedLayer is app selected layer

Returns

boolean

---

isMuted

Get Signature

get isMuted(): boolean

Returns whether the audio or video stream is muted or not. A muted audio stream is one that does not send audio samples (silent), and a muted video stream is one that does not send video frames (frozen).

Returns

boolean

Implementation of

StageStream.isMuted

---

mediaStreamTrack

Get Signature

get mediaStreamTrack(): MediaStreamTrack

Returns the MediaStreamTrack associated with the stream.

Returns

MediaStreamTrack

Implementation of

StageStream.mediaStreamTrack

---

participantInfo

Get Signature

get participantInfo(): StageParticipantInfo

Returns the StageParticipantInfo associated with this stream.

Returns

StageParticipantInfo

---

streamType

Get Signature

get streamType(): StreamType

Returns the stream type associated with the stream.

Returns

StreamType

Implementation of

StageStream.streamType

Methods

getHighestQualityLayer()

getHighestQualityLayer(): undefined | StageStreamLayer

Returns the highest quality layer available. Quality here is defined first by dimension, then bitrate, and finally framerate.

For example, a 1080p stream is higher quality than a 720p stream, even if (in the rare case) the 720p stream has a higher bitrate, or framerate.

Returns

undefined | StageStreamLayer

---

getLayers()

getLayers(): StageStreamLayer[]

Returns the list of all current StageStreamLayers. Note that this list will change dynamically over time according to the publishers stream. For example, if the publisher only is able to send two layers (e.g. low, mid) and stops sending hi, then this method will only list the available layers for selection.

Returns

StageStreamLayer[]

---

getLowestQualityLayer()

getLowestQualityLayer(): undefined | StageStreamLayer

Returns the lowest quality layer available. Quality here is defined first by dimension, then bitrate, and finally framerate.

For example, a 180p stream is lower quality than a 360p stream, even if (in the rare case) the 180p stream has a higher bitrate, or framerate.

Returns

undefined | StageStreamLayer

---

getSelectedLayer()

getSelectedLayer(): undefined | StageStreamLayer

Return the currently selected layer. If the publisher is not sending multiple simulcast layers, then no layer will be returned.

If the publisher stops sending the selected layer, the server will attempt to select the next best layer, which will be notified via the RemoteStageStreamEvents.LAYER_SELECTED.

Use this value in conjunction with the RemoteStageStream.isAdapting flag to determine whether the selected layer is associated with Dynamic Simulcast or have been manually selected.

For example:

• isAdapting === true --> getSelectedLayer is server selected layer
• isAdapting === false --> getSelectedLayer is app selected layer

Returns

undefined | StageStreamLayer

---

getStats()

getStats(): Promise<undefined | RTCStatsReport>

This API is the previous internal API and now just defers internally to the requestRTCStats.

Returns

Promise<undefined | RTCStatsReport>

Deprecated

Implementation of

StageStream.getStats

---

hasListenersFor()

hasListenersFor<Event>(event): boolean

Returns a boolean indicating whether an event has actively registered listeners.

Type Parameters

Type Parameter
Event extends keyof RemoteStageStreamEventMap

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
event	Event	the event to register the callback for

Returns

boolean

Implementation of

StageStream.hasListenersFor

Inherited from

TypedEmitter.hasListenersFor

---

off()

off<Event>(event, callback, context?): void

Deregister a new callback based on the event provided. The events enum is either linked in the EventMap type or in the root of the class.

Type Parameters

Type Parameter
Event extends keyof RemoteStageStreamEventMap

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
event	Event	the event to de-register the callback for
callback	RemoteStageStreamEventMap[Event]	the callback to be de-registered
context?	any	-

Returns

void

Implementation of

StageStream.off

Inherited from

TypedEmitter.off

---

on()

on<Event>(event, callback, context?): void

Register a new callback based on the event provided. The events enum is either linked in the EventMap type or in the root of the class.

Type Parameters

Type Parameter
Event extends keyof RemoteStageStreamEventMap

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
event	Event	the event to register the callback for
callback	RemoteStageStreamEventMap[Event]	the callback to be invoked for the event
context?	any	-

Returns

void

Implementation of

StageStream.on

Inherited from

TypedEmitter.on

---

requestQualityStats()

requestQualityStats(): Promise<undefined | RemoteAudioStats[] | RemoteVideoStats[]>

Request quality statistics for the remote stream.

This method provides access to detailed WebRTC statistics for the remote stream, including network quality, packet received and lost, jitter, and frame-related metrics.

Returns

Promise<undefined | RemoteAudioStats[] | RemoteVideoStats[]>

A promise that resolves to an array of RemoteAudioStats or RemoteVideoStats depending on the stream type, or undefined if statistics are not available

---

requestRTCStats()

requestRTCStats(): Promise<undefined | RTCStatsReport>

Request a snapshot of the RTCStatsReport from the stream.

Returns

Promise<undefined | RTCStatsReport>

Implementation of

StageStream.requestRTCStats
