RealtimeKit Web Core 1.2.4

Compatibility: Works best with RealtimeKit Web UI Kit 1.1.0 or later.

New APIs

Added chat pagination support with the following methods:

  • meeting.chat.fetchPinnedMessages - Fetch pinned messages from server.
  • meeting.chat.fetchPublicMessages - Fetch public messages from server.
  • meeting.chat.fetchPrivateMessages - Fetch private messages from server.

Enhancements

  • Added JSDoc comments to all public-facing methods and classes for improved developer suggestions.
  • Chat message operations (edit, delete, pin) are now available to all RealtimeKit clients without additional configuration.
  • pinMessage and unpinMessage events on meeting.chat now emit reliably.
  • Message pinning (meeting.chat.pin and meeting.chat.unpin) is now available to all participants.

Removed APIs

Removed non-operational chat channel APIs to streamline the RealtimeKit SDK. Meeting chat (meeting.chat) remains fully operational.

  • Removed meeting.self.permissions.chatChannel.
  • Removed meeting.self.permissions.chatMessage. Use meeting.self.permissions.chatPublic and meeting.self.permissions.chatPrivate instead.
  • Removed meeting.chat.channels.

  • Removed meeting.chat.markLastReadMessage.
  • Removed events: channelMessageUpdate, channelCreate, and channelUpdate from meeting.chat.

API changes

  • The following methods no longer accept a third optional channelId parameter:
    • meeting.chat.editTextMessage(messageId, message)
    • meeting.chat.editImageMessage(messageId, imageFile)
    • meeting.chat.editFileMessage(messageId, file)
    • meeting.chat.editMessage(messageId, messagePayload)
    • meeting.chat.deleteMessage(messageId)

Deprecations

The following methods are deprecated due to scalability limitations (limited to 1,000 recent messages):

  • meeting.chat.messages - Only fetches recent messages and new messages after joining.
  • meeting.chat.getMessagesByUser - Use new fetch methods for scalable message retrieval.
  • meeting.chat.getMessagesByType - Use new fetch methods for scalable message retrieval.
  • meeting.chat.getMessages - Use meeting.chat.fetchPublicMessages or meeting.chat.fetchPrivateMessages instead.
  • meeting.chat.pinned - Use meeting.chat.fetchPinnedMessages instead.
  • meeting.chat.searchMessages - Use meeting.chat.fetchPublicMessages or meeting.chat.fetchPrivateMessages instead.

RealtimeKit Web Core 1.2.3

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where users who joined a meeting with audio and video disabled and then initiated tab screen sharing would experience SDP corruption upon stopping the screen share, preventing subsequent actions such as enabling audio or video.

    InvalidAccessError: Failed to execute 'setRemoteDescription' on 'RTCPeerConnection': Failed to set remote answer sdp: Failed to set remote audio description send parameters for m-section with mid='<N>'

  • Fixed an issue where awaiting RealtimeKitClient.initMedia did not return media tracks

    Example usage:

    const media = await RealtimeKitClient.initMedia({
  video : true,
  audio: true,
});

const { videoTrack, audioTrack } = media;

  • Fixed an issue where an undefined variable caused TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getValue') in media retrieval due to a race condition.
