daily-js 0.21.0

  • ✨ Beta ✨ Blur participant backgrounds on Daily video calls via a new inputSettings DailyIframe property or updateInputSettings() method.
  • ✨ Beta ✨ Determine whether a browser supports background blur by checking the supportsVideoProcessing property returned by supportedBrowser().
  • 🎥 All recording-started events now include the type of recording started ("local", "cloud", "rtp-tracks", "output-byte-stream", or "cloud-beta"). When the type is "cloud-beta" or "rtp-tracks", the recording-started event will also include startedBy with the participant ID of the person who started the recording. "cloud-beta" recordings will also include the same layout property as live streaming events.
  • ☁️ The "cloud-beta" recording type now emits recording-started and recording-stopped events.
  • 🇷🇺 Added Russian language support. Set the DailyIframe lang property to "ru", or pass "ru" to setDailyLang() to specify Russian as the language of choice.

This property defaults to true (showing the controls) if not explicitly set to false.
  • 📜 Chat history is now visible to all participants during a call, even if they join after the call (and witty side banter) started.

  • 🙅‍♀️ Improved Safari 15 blocked device handling.
  • 🤳 Updated the tray buttons and Leave button locations on mobile.
