Summary
This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough for Android developers on how to implement active speaker highlighting in their video apps using VideoSDK. The feature is particularly beneficial in large meetings or webinars where numerous participants are present, making it difficult to identify the source of incoming audio. By capturing the `onSpeakerChanged` event and leveraging the participant ID, developers can visually highlight the corresponding participant in their application's user interface. This guide covers account creation, token generation, integration of VideoSDK library and dependencies, implementation of core functionalities for video calls, and active speaker indication.
