1.6.0

New Features

• Session Store

  You can now use Session Store, a shared real-time key-value store accessible by everyone in the Room. This can be used to implement new features such as Pinned Messages and Spotlight Video Tiles, which brings a particular peer to the center stage for everyone in the Room.

  If upgrading from an older version to 1.6.0 or above, override the new method onSessionStoreAvailable.

  class Meeting implements HMSUpdateLister {
    ...
    @override
    void onSessionStoreAvailable(
      {HMSSessionStore? hmsSessionStore}) { ... }
  }

  Check out more in the Picture-in-Picture (PIP) documentation.

• This version includes a significant improvement in the usability of Local Audio Share APIs. By optimizing the ergonomics, we have made it more intuitive and user-friendly for you to interact with these APIs.
