We're excited to announce a brand-new feature available in EyesonJS starting with version v2.1.0 - Cast to Device .
This utility enables developers to stream an ongoing eyeson meeting directly to any Chromecast-enabled TV or compatible device, such as a smart TV or external monitor. The goal? To provide a distraction-free, video-only experience that's perfect for demos, presentations, or team meetings where visual clarity matters most.
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.
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.
Call Control allows you to control the meeting directly from your USB or Bluetooth devices.
It is an addition to your existing meeting app as it synchronizes the call and mute states between meeting and paired devices. It's available in eyeson-js 1.8.9.
Thanks to the implementation of Custom layout map API in Eyeson, you can now change the layout without having the need for pre-defined layouts provided by us. This has some major upsides regarding the control over the stream content.
In this tutorial we want to use the adaptive layout to arrange users around an image for a seamless presentation.
You can instantly update the stream content during a live session using some HTML and Javascript.

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.
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.
In version 109, Chrome has rolled out a new media-picker where the order of display surfaces has changed. It has changed from screens/windows/tabs to tabs/windows/screens. Furthermore the pre-selection has changed too - from screens to tabs. Lucky for us, since version 107 of Chrome and Chromium based browsers, like Edge and Opera, there's an option that gives you back the control.
This article is showing how it can be controlled in your custom UI with eyeson-js since v1.8.5.
