CLASS

@objcMembers public class HMSSDK: NSObject
 

The public interface of 100ms SDK. Create an instance of HMSSDK to start using the SDK. Key Concepts Room - A room represents a real-time audio, video session, the basic building block of the 100mslive Video SDK Track - A track represents either the audio or video that makes up a stream Peer - A peer represents all participants connected to a room. Peers can be "local" or "remote" Broadcast - A local peer can send any message/data to all remote peers in the room HMSSDK has other methods which the client app can use to get more info about the Room, Peer and Tracks

Parameters

preview(config:delegate:)

public func preview(config: HMSConfig, delegate: HMSPreviewListener)
 

Begin a preview so that the local peer's audio and video can be displayed to them before they join the room.

• Parameters:
  • config: The config object instance which contains joining information.

Parameters

preview(role:completion:)

public func preview(role: HMSRole, completion: (([HMSTrack]?, HMSError?) -> Void))
 

Call this preview API any time after joining in case you need to show a preview for a certain role. i.e before doing/accepting a role change request.

• Parameters:

Parameters

cancelPreview()

public func cancelPreview()
