Enable and configure Signaling

Before you enable Signaling, make sure you have an Agora account and a project.

Enable Signaling for your project

To enable Signaling for an existing project, in Agora Console, select RTC Services from the sidebar, then locate the Signaling card and turn on its toggle.

Configure Signaling

To configure Signaling, select the settings icon on the Signaling card to open its configuration panel.

The Signaling panel provides the following configuration.

Presence configuration

Turn on Enable Presence to control whether Presence is available for this project, then set:

• Max number of instant event: The maximum number of instant notifications sent before Signaling switches to interval mode. The value range is 8–128, with a default of 50. To request a value outside this range, contact technical support.
• Timed event notification interval: How often periodic notifications are sent, in seconds. The value range is 5–300, with a default of 30.
• Event notification debounce time: The interval within which no presence event is triggered if a user quickly leaves and rejoins, in seconds. The default is 2.

Storage configuration

Turn on Enable Storage to enable storage sync and related attribute callbacks, then set:

• User attribute callback: Receive callbacks when user attributes change in real time.
• Channel attribute callback: Receive callbacks when channel attributes are updated by any member.

History

Turn on Enable History to store message history for later retrieval.

Distributed lock

Turn on Enable Distributed Lock to coordinate exclusive access to shared resources across clients.

Activate stream channels

Turn on Enable Stream Channel to use ordered, topic-based messaging for time-sensitive event delivery. This setting may require manual review before it becomes fully available.

Select Save changes to apply your updates.
