If TVIDefaultAudioDevice is enabled, the SDK executes this block and activates the audio session while connecting to a Room, otherwise it is the developer’s responsibility to execute the block. Please note that the getter of this property returns a wrapper block which internally executes the block you set. By default, the SDK returns a default wrapper block which executes kDefaultAVAudioSessionConfigurationBlock internally.

The following example demonstrates changing the audio route from speaker to receiver:

  TVIDefaultAudioDevice *audioDevice = [TVIDefaultAudioDevice audioDevice];

  TwilioVideo.audioDevice = audioDevice;

  //...connect to a Room with audioDevice. By default the audio route will be configured to speaker.

  audioDevice.block =  ^ {
      // We will execute `kDefaultAVAudioSessionConfigurationBlock` first.
      kDefaultAVAudioSessionConfigurationBlock();

      // Overwrite the audio route
      AVAudioSession *session = [AVAudioSession sharedInstance];
      NSError *error = nil;
      if (![session setMode:AVAudioSessionModeVoiceChat error:&error]) {
          NSLog(@"AVAudiosession setMode %@",error);
      }

      if (![session overrideOutputAudioPort:AVAudioSessionPortOverrideNone error:&error]) {
          NSLog(@"AVAudiosession overrideOutputAudioPort %@",error);
      }
  };
  audioDevice.block();

By default, the SDK initializes this property to YES. Setting it to NO forces the underlying CoreAudio graph to be stopped (if active), and prevents it from being started again. Setting the property to YES allows the audio graph to be started whenever there is audio to play or record in a Room.

Use defaultAudioDeviceto create a TVIDefaultAudioDevice.

Use this factory method if you want to connect to a Room with your choice of audio session configuration.

The following example demonstrates connecting to a Room using the AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback category:

  TwilioVideo.audioDevice = [TVIDefaultAudioDevice audioDeviceWithBlock:^ {
    // We will execute `kDefaultAVAudioSessionConfigurationBlock` first.
    kDefaultAVAudioSessionConfigurationBlock();

    // Overwrite the category to `playback`
    AVAudioSession *session = [AVAudioSession sharedInstance];
    NSError *error = nil;
    if (![session setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback
                         mode:AVAudioSessionModeVideoChat
                      options:AVAudioSessionCategoryOptionAllowBluetooth
                        error:&error]) {
        NSLog(@"AVAudioSession setCategory:options:mode:error: %@",error);
    }
  }];

  TVIConnectOptions *connectOptions = [TVIConnectOptions optionsWithToken:token
                                                                  block:^(TVIConnectOptionsBuilder *builder) {
                                                                    builder.audioTracks = @[[TVILocalAudioTrack track]];
                                                                }];

  TVIRoom *room = [TwilioVideo connectWithOptions:connectOptions];
