SDK 7.3 release | All platforms: Supported 128 Kbps stereo audio from sender to recipient, which can be set through the setAudioQuality(TRTCAudioQualityMusic) API. Supported the speech mode, which has a better ANS capability and is suitable for audio conferencing. It can be set through the setAudioQuality(TRTCAudioQualitySpeech) API. Supported playing multiple music tracks and looping background music. The former is designed for karaoke scenarios, where vocals and instruments need to be separated. Added a new audio effect management API TXAudioEffectManager while continuing to support the legacy API, allowing more flexible and diverse audio capabilities. Added the minVideoBitrate option to the video encoding parameter setVideoEncoderParam. We recommend you set this option for live streaming users who have high requirements for image quality. Supported calling muteLocalVideo before startLocalPreview to preview without pushing streams. You can also achieve this by calling startLocalPreview before enterRoom. iOS: Added a system-level screen sharing scheme, which allows the sharing of the entire system, similar to that in VooV Meeting. The integration is easy and can be completed in half a day. Supported audio effects such as reverb for in-ear monitoring. Android & Windows: Supported transient noise reduction, which can be enabled through setAudioQuality(TRTCAudioQualitySpeech). Android: Supported files packaged in assets for audio effects.

Change of billing standards | Changed billable audio duration to the cumulative duration of users’ stay in a room minus the duration of video to which the users subscribe. Note: If a user subscribes to multiple audio streams, the durations will not be added up for billing. If a user does not subscribe to any video streams, audio duration will be billed regardless of whether the user subscribes to audio streams. The calculation of billable video duration remains unchanged, which is the cumulative duration of video to which the users in a room subscribe. | 2020-05-01 |

Call quality monitoring APIs | Added an API for querying rooms by SDKAppID. Up to 100 records can be returned at a time, and data in the last 5 days can be queried. Added an API for querying users and call quality metrics in a specified time period. Added an API for querying historical room and user count in a specified time period. Added an API for querying the number of rooms and number of calling users in the last 24 hours. Added an API for querying the room entry success rate, first-frame instant streaming rate, and audio/video lagging rate in the last 24 hours. Added an API for querying network conditions in the last 24 hours, including upstream/downstream packet loss. | 2020-04-29 | |
