This change affects Custom UIs using Eyeson Javascript or one of the mobile SDKs.
When a new snapshot is created, the update event will only include a list with the latest snapshots instead of all existing snapshots of the current meeting.
The old snapshot behaviour will shut down on 11th of September.
Furthermore, there will be 2 new API endpoints for retrieving the most recent snapshot information.
Some key advantages of Eyesons MCU+ are that all participants see the same and the video stream can contain additional visuals and data. That means, you can choose one of the provided layouts and show images in the background and foreground layers.
We provide the new option background_color to let you customize the meeting
video background color to your needs.
The option is only available on the meeting start request, see API room reference. It can not be changed during the meeting.
The following example shows how to use the new option with curl.
$ curl -X POST \
-H "Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY" \
-d "user[name]=John Doe" \
-d "options[background_color]=#121212" \

One advantage of the Eyeson single stream is that you can change the video podium layout without the need for client side updates. With latest release of the Eyeson API we extended this feature and added support of voice detect activation for the podium positions, lets have a closer look.
In this post we'll share how we used [TensorFlow's object detection API] to build a custom image annotation service for Eyeson. Below you can seen an example where Philipp is making the "thinking" 🤔 pose during a meeting which automatically triggers a GIF reaction.
This tutorial provides a practical example of how to setup a video platform using the Eyeson API service. The application uses the [Eyeson ruby gem], the web application framework [Sinatra] and hosting platform [Heroku]. By following the steps in the how-to you will have a website up and running, providing an entry point for a shared video meeting room. The participants can join the meeting without any registration or sign up, and will return to the application website after exiting the meeting.
