A class defining the properties of the config parameter in the createClient method.

Note:

  • Ensure that you do not leave mode and codec as empty.
  • Set mode as "live" if you need to communicate with the native SDK.
  • Set codec as "h264" as long as Safari is involved in the session.
  • If you set mode as "rtc", the Agora Recording SDK will not be supported.
  • Ensure that you set these properties before calling Client.join.

Set the Session Mode

The table below lists the corresponding mode settings between different versions of the Web SDK:

Before v2.3 From v2.3
createClient({mode: "interop"}) createClient({mode: "live", codec: "vp8"})
createClient({mode: "h264_interop"}) createClient({mode: "live", codec: "h264"})

Set the Proxy Server

Define proxyServer and turnServer if you need to set a proxy server. For a tutorial on deploying the Proxy server on a Web client, see Deploying the Enterprise Proxy.

Note:

Proxy services by different service providers may result in slow performance if you are using the Firefox browser. Therefore, Agora recommends using the same service provider for the proxy services. If you use different service providers, Agora recommends not using the Firefox browser.

example

Sample Code

var config = {
     mode: "live",

         turnServerURL: "YOUR TURNSERVER URL",
         username: "YOUR USERNAME",
         password: "YOUR PASSWORD",
         udpport: "THE UDP PORT YOU WANT TO ADD",
         tcpport: "THE TCP PORT YOU WANT TO ADD",
         forceturn: false
     }
}
var client = AgoraRTC.createClient(config);
