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!
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.
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.

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.
Eyeson video meetings are based on the MCU+ Single-Stream Technology that provides many advantages like "everyone sees the same at the same time", it lets you create virtual rooms with its layout and layer features and much more.
But this also means, that you see yourself like all other participants see you. And unfortunately, this is not what you are used to. In other meeting tools your local video is usually shown instantly and mirrored based on the following trick:
There's a new feature that you can use on your custom UI with eyeson-js since v1.8.6.
Picture-in-picture camera is a nice addition to screenshare presentation as it includes the presenter's camera in the screenshare.
