0.6.0 (September 24, 2021)

The Room Monitor can be activated by clicking on the "Room Monitor" button in the menu while in a room. #594

Dependency Upgrades

• twilio-video has been upgraded from 2.17.0 to 2.17.1. This fixes a regression in 2.17.0 which caused Chrome screen share tracks to be encoded at lower dimensions. #593

v0.5.1

0.5.1 (September 17, 2021)

Dependency Upgrades

• twilio-video has been upgraded from 2.15.3 to 2.17.0. Twilio-video.js now supports Chrome on iOS versions 14.3 and above. With this upgrade, the isSupported boolean will be true in iOS Chrome, and users will be able to use the video app instead of seeing the <UnsupportedBrowserWarning /> component. #590

Bugfixes

• Fixes issue with the MainParticipant erroneously displaying the network quality for the LocalParticipant. #585
• Improves interoperability with Twilio's iOS and Android quickstart apps. This app now will display any video track as the participant's main video, unless the video track has the name screen (to indicate a screenshare track). Previously, this app would only display video tracks with the name camera, which meant that participants that used Twilio's iOS and Android quickstart apps could not be seen by users of this video app. #585

v0.5.0

0.5.0 (August 9, 2021)

New Feature

• This release adds a virtual background feature. This feature allows users to blur their background or apply a background image from the background selection window.

Bugfixes

• Audio and Video track components now set their <audio> or <video> element's srcObject to null after the tracks are unmounted. This helps to fix the above mentioned issue introduced in Chrome 92. #562
