Overview

Dial-in and dial-out is now supported on a number of Daily's SDKs. Check out our guide to learn more.

Also, we've made a number of smaller improvements, fixed a number of bugs, and improved performance. Check out the release notes below for more details.

daily-js

0.57.0

Dial-out

In December, we launched dial-in. This time around, we're adding dial-out support. You can now dial-out from any Daily meeting to a user on their phone using daily-js. This feature is hot off the presses and will be added to this guide page in the next few days.

Background blur and effects available in Safari

In December, we announced video processing as GA, and now we're adding support for Safari desktop. Use the supportedBrowser() static method to programmatically determine which browsers support video processing.

New metrics and precall test changes

availableOutgoingBitrate is now available in getNetworkStats(). In addition, one of the precall test methods has been updated. Previously, the testConnectionQuality() method was recommended to detect network connection quality. That method is now deprecated and is being replaced by a new test called testPeerToPeerCallQuality(). We're testing out a new method, called testCallQuality() that provides even more accurate information; that method is in pre-beta testing. If you're interested in learning more, let us know at help@daily.co.
