Daily Prebuilt

Completely redesigned mobile client, including:

  • A home page that highlights the active speaker and screen shares.
  • Additional pages that can be swiped through to reveal up to 3 remote video feeds.
  • A new controller bar at the bottom of the UI which shows page position, participant count, and the name of * the screen sharer.
  • Mobile UI now runs exclusively on touch enabled tablets and phones.
  • Lots of performance improvements!

Additionally:

  • Improved audio playback when a Bluetooth device is disconnected.
  • Drastically improved active speaker switching performance on mobile.
  • Updated participant bar to prioritize participants with cameras on.
  • Participant bar scroll position is now preserved after open/close.
  • Fixed issue where the wrong active speaker might be displayed on join, thanks to a bug fix shipped with daily-js 0.15.0
  • Added new icons for Firefox.
  • Updated German translations.

Core call experience

  • Fixed issue where a participants’ audio failed to send at join time if the room/token had start_video_offand start_audio_off and then immediately called setLocalAudio(true) setLocalVideo(true).
  • Fixed an issue with Daily Prebuilt that could cause multiple meeting moves at the start of a call when the lobby is enabled.
  • Reduced superfluous error logs generated as fallout from a stale websocket.
  • Fixed issue causing stopLiveStreaming() to fail.
  • Self-signed meeting tokens with is_ownerset to true can now start recordings.
