All Implemented Interfaces:

Track

public class LocalVideoTrack
extends VideoTrack

A local video track that receives video frames from a VideoCapturer or VideoCapturer.

When a local video track is created, the SDK will call VideoCapturer.initialize(SurfaceTextureHelper, Context, CapturerObserver) and VideoCapturer.startCapture(int, int, int) on the calling thread before returning the local video track instance. The capturer will be instructed to start capturing at the default video format of 640x480 at 30 FPS unless any of the following conditions are true:

• The caller provides a specific VideoFormat when creating the local video track. In this case, the VideoCapturer is responsible for capturing at the provided VideoFormat.
• The capturer is an instance of VideoCapturer and no VideoFormat is provided when creating the local video track. In this case, the SDK will call VideoCapturer.startCapture(int, int, int) with the result of VideoCapturer.getCaptureFormat().

Method Detail

create

@Nullable
public static LocalVideoTrack create(@NonNull
                                     android.content.Context context,
                                     boolean enabled,
                                     @NonNull
                                     VideoCapturer videoCapturer)

Creates a local video track.

If the capturer is an instance of VideoCapturer then VideoCapturer.startCapture(int, int, int) will be called with the result of VideoCapturer.getCaptureFormat(). This behavior allows VideoCapturer implementations to provide a better default capture format. For example, the ScreenCapturer provides a resolution derived from the device's screen dimensions.

If the capturer is an instance of VideoCapturer then the default format of 640x480 at 30 FPS will be used.

Parameters:

context - application context.

enabled - initial state of video track.

videoCapturer - capturer that provides video frames.

Returns:

local video track if successfully added or null if video track could not be created.

create

@Nullable
public static LocalVideoTrack create(@NonNull
                                     android.content.Context context,

                                     VideoFormat videoFormat)

Creates a local video track.

The video capturer will be instructed to capture at the provided VideoFormat.

Parameters:

context - application context.

enabled - initial state of video track.

videoCapturer - capturer that provides video frames.

videoFormat - format to capture frames.

Returns:

local video track if successfully added or null if video track could not be created.
