Share Chrome Tab Audio
There are technical limitations when sharing both computer and microphone audio from a Chrome tab at the same time. When microphone audio sharing is enabled, the SDK temporarilydoes not share the computer audio. Listen to the share-audio-change
event to be informed of this change. Here’s an the example of how to use this event:
client.on('share-audio-change',payload=>{ const {state} = payload; if(state==='on'){ console.log('Computer audio was muted due to the share audio') }else if(state==='off'){ console.log('Computer audio was recovered') } })
