Summary

The April 2022 release of the Video SDK introduces several enhancements and product updates, including custom video capture, which allows developers to manage video capture on their own and send captured video data to the SDK for encoding and stream publishing. This feature is recommended in scenarios where a third-party beauty SDK or another task requires camera access during live streaming. The update also includes improvements such as better audio tract functions, more control over camera and audio publishing, and optimized encoder configurations. Additionally, the release addresses issues with iOS mic permission, prebuilt SDK versions, and browser camera permissions. New features include low latency HLS streaming APIs, auth security in v2, and a new website in beta mode.
