Join Meeting - iOS

Overview

After meeting initialization by initMeeting() it returns a new instance of Meeting. If you have not initialized a meeting yet, you can follow the guide here. However, by default, it will not automatically join the meeting. Hence, to join the meeting you have to call join() .

join()

• To join the meeting you can call the join() method of Meeting class.
• This method can be called after the meeting is initialized using VideoSDK class.

Swift

private func initializeMeeting(cameraPosition: AVCaptureDevice.Position? = .front) {
        
        // initialize
        meeting = VideoSDK.initMeeting(
            meetingId: "abcd-wxyz-efgh",
            participantId: "JD",
            participantName: "John Doe",
            micEnabled: true,
            webcamEnabled: true,
        )
        
        // Add event listener for listening upcoming events of meeting 
        meeting?.addEventListener(self)
        
        // join
        meeting?.join(cameraPosition: cameraPosition ?? .front) // .front, .back
    }

Events associated with Join

Following callbacks are received when a participant is successfully joined.

• Local Participant will receive a onMeetingJoined event, when successfully joined.
• Remote Participant will receive a onParticipantJoined event with the newly joined Participant object from the event callback.

Swift

extension MeetingViewController: MeetingEventListener {

    // Event to know meeting is joined
    func onMeetingJoined() { 
        print("You just joined the meeting")
    }

    // Event to know some other participant joined
    func onParticipantJoined(_ participant: Participant) {
        print("A new remote participant", \(participant.displayName) + "just joined the meeting")
