[New Free Plugin] Daily Video Chat

@igorperep There isn’t an immediate ETA to have this in the plugin right now but it might be something you could do with an API call outside of the plugin!

I added a canny post for it which I may be able to sneak into a future release!

Hi everyone!

I’ve just released an update to the Daily Video Conferencing & Chat Plugin. Here’s what’s new in version 4.3:

  • Breakout Rooms: You can now enable breakout rooms in the create and update room actions. This allows you to split participants into smaller groups. Set the breakout rooms parameter to “yes,” create a meeting owner token, and join the room. Here’s the full how-to guide.

  • Shared Chat History: Participants can now see conversation history when they join a room. To enable set the chat history parameter in the create or update actions to “yes”

  • Recording Options: The start recording action now includes:
    • Audio-only recording option
    • Ability to set height, width, and background color of the recording
    • Control video bitrate and audio bitrate
    • Set min idle timeout and max duration

Best,
Lola

Hi @KevinS,

I’ve just released version 4.3 of the plugin, and this update includes an option to record audio-only during a video call.

To use this, set the layout to audio-only in the start recording action.

Dear, @lola!

Thank you for updates.

Question: To activate start recording action with adjusted bitrade - it’s needs specific button?

If user click button Record directly in the room - it would be record with default bitrate?

Appreciate,
Igor

Hi @igorperep!

You can apply the setting either directly through the start-recording action in a workflow or by using a separate button. Alternatively, you can use the update-recording action to change the recording settings after it starts.

For the update flow make sure you’re on the latest version of the plugin, listen for the recording-started event using the event element in the plugin, then trigger the update-recording action. This works for cloud recordings only.

For a step-by-step guide with screenshots, check out this how-to.

Best,
Lola
