Mesibo Video and Voice Calls

CallProperties Class Reference

MesiboCall.CallProperties defines various call properties and behavior, for example, video size, bitrate, hide on proximity, etc.

For information on the entrance class, MesiboCall see MesiboCall.

Creating an instance of CallProperties

Use the method MesiboCall.createCallProperties() to get an instance of CallProperties.

For example, in Android, to create call properties for a video call,

MesiboCall.CallProperties cp = MesiboCall.getInstance().createCallProperties(true);
  • Set audio properties for a call using CallProperties.audio which will contain an instance of AudioProperties
  • Set video properties for a call using CallProperties.video which will contain an instance of VideoProperties

Example, in Android,

cp.video.bitrate = 2000;
cp.audio.speaker = true;
