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')
  }
})
