Introducing call logs and metrics

All Daily calls now expose logs and metrics, so you can dig into your video call quality.
  • Logs provide a record of the events that take place during a call.
  • Metrics are WebRTC stats that help you understand and characterize video call quality and performance. You can view these new features either in your dashboard or through the new /logs endpoint.

​
Dashboard

In the recently launched Sessions tab, you can now explore an individual participant’s session data. There you’ll find their call logs and metrics, along with other participant details.

/logs

The /logs endpoint returns even more granular detail about your calls, including track level details. Check out a walkthrough on our blog, see the endpoint in action through the Daily Call Explorer, or read our full documentation.

react-native-daily-js (public beta)

react-native-daily-js gives React Native developers access to the same APIs and server-side infrastructure that powers daily-js web calls. It:
  • Brings the Daily call object to mobile devices, so developers can access call primitives, respond to call events, and build entirely custom, native video chat experiences.
  • Handles connections between callers, including all the quirks that can come up when participants are on different browsers and devices.
  • Provides access to participants’ network stats, enabling call-quality insights.
