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.
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.
We've made changes to the API playbacks layout that you need to be aware of!
Virtual situation rooms are a quick way to build a command and control structure, and since they are virtual, they do not require physical space and can be created in large numbers to give teams room to collaborate.
I will guide you through creating a virtual situation room in this series. It will have the following episodes.
In the first part, we looked at creating the virtual situation room. Further, we looked at the authentication and users. We will now consider bringing the participants into the room and adding sources.
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.
Permalinks in Eyeson allow developers to create pre-defined meeting rooms with shareable and permanent guest links, enabling meeting setup and invitation distribution before the actual meeting starts.
Finally, developers are able to create pre-defined meeting rooms, get sharable guest-links, and start the meeting whenever needed with the same permanent links!
Share a meeting link, before the meeting has even being started!
POST /permalink
HEADERS Authorization
user[name]=<host-user-name>
# options[exit_url] and many more options
This will give you all the links you need.

Inform your users about their current system compute pressure. This way they know when it's time to reduce some background activity to keep the meeting running smoothly.
Nowadays "share location" is one of the basic features in mobile chat applications.
When share location is triggered, the device collects its geolocation information and after adjusting and confirming the location is sent and becomes visible as a map for other chat users.
This is extremely useful, especially in situations where you need quick help and can't describe the location in words.
We've added some new functions dedicated to share and display location information in Eyeson meetings.
