Eyeson is excited to announce a significant improvement to our video conferencing platform with the migration from VP8 to VP9 as our default video codec. This upgrade will automatically enhance your video conferencing experience without requiring any action on your part.
Audio passthrough for Custom UI
The audio passthrough option allows for greater preservation of audio received from your microphone without using Eyeson's echo cancellation and audio filters.
This is ideal if your microphone or sound equipment has these features built-in or if you want to preserve the full range of sound from a musical instrument.
API playback layout changes
We've made changes to the API playbacks layout that you need to be aware of!
- Playback videos will use object-fit setting of its layout box
- In "auto" layout, the object-fit is "auto" which most of the times means "cover" - in contrast to former "contain"!
- To get the old behaviour, you have to set a layout with object-fit "contain"

In Part 3 of our Series, we will look at the layout functionalities of the Eyeson One View API. Since Eyeson is built on top of a next-generation MCU, you can be sure that everyone sees the same things at the same time. So, the Layout is applied by the MCU and can not be changed individually.
