Agora Unity Webgl Voice Chat only

[ranashoaibaslam]

Hi,
I am using Agora voice chat SDK for unity and it works perfectly. Now I have to build for Webgl platform and came across this wrapper for Agora web video SDK. Is there a way to use this wrapper for Agora web voice SDK? I have tried to use this for voice only by not subscribing to the video stream but at the start, it is asking for camera permissions and I don't know how to stop that. Also, spatial audio wasn't working, and muting other remote players was also something that couldn't be achieved.

I am facing the same problem.

Sensitive users will be very creeped out by being asked for video permissions and this will lead to applications using this service not being used.

Therefore, I consider this response to be a high priority.
Although the same issue has been closed in past #69 with the intention of being addressed in the future, I believe that if the issue is to be addressed in the future, it should remain open and not be closed.

I hope this feature will be addressed as soon as possible.

@icywind ?

I have the same issue for webcam permissions. Looking forward for a solution.

Talking about spatial audio, if you are trying to achieve it by SetRemoteVoicePosition, icywind already answered me that it is not supported by WebGL right now and will probably be available on next release.

I recommend using AdjustUserPlaybackSignalVolume (although I am facing an issue where I can't set every remote user volume to 0 when the player joins)

Yep, sorry to say that the voice-only SDK implementation won't be provided in a near term for this repo. However, as you may be aware of, Agora has released the Unity SDK v4.0.0. And WebGL would be officially supported soon (Q4 2022 - Q1 2023). You should be able to choose either Voice or Video SDK when it is available.

As for Spatial Audio - in Refactor 6 we corrected the spatial effects APIs., please check the demo and notes on that one. In the next release we will add position based APIs. Note that you will need signaling capability to exchange object positions.

I have examined the SDK source code and found that by rewriting the c = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({video: t}) in the AgoraRTC_N.js file as video:false, the The camera permission is no longer required.

This change may cause some problems, but why don't you give it a try?

Hi, I made the changes you mentioned and it worked perfectly fine. Now there is permission for microphone only. Can you please help me with this red dot icon which shows that camera is being used.

[KazukiKuriyama]

Does that mark also appear when using a microphone? Is it wrong?

[ranashoaibaslam]

Yes I gave permission for microphone only. I think that dot was for camera and it shouldn't appear.

Great! It seems like a way. But, in my case, it shouldn't work because I need to use webcam for some specific users, but others users I don't want that permission to appear as long as they are not supposed to use webcam. It would be great if we had any option directly on IRtcEngine to control which devices it asks to get permissions from.

For example, try pressing the microphone button in the search box on the top page of Google Search.
This will request only microphone authorization, but the same red mark will appear after authorization.
