New Features

User Stream Pinning

A Moderator can now pin any user to force EnableX carry his stream to all end-points irrespective of the user talking or not. So, pinned users’ streams will always be available on Active Talker list. Users who are actively talking will be placed first, and then pinned-non-talkers are placed in the Active Talker list. Moderator can pin 1 less user than max_active_talkers configured in the room.

Simulcast Support on Chrome

EnableX now supports Simulcast on Chrome Browser only in Rooms defined in Lecture Mode. Maximum 3 Layers supported. Full Simulcast Layers support depends on Publisher Bandwidth. Stream Quality requires minimum Publisher Bandwidth to support Video Layers as given below:

  • HD: 3000 Kbps
  • SD: 1600 Kbps
  • LD: 800 Kbps
