> The latest updates to Daily's real-time audio and video APIs.

## Overview

April brings daily-react 0.25.0 with support for multiple concurrent recording and live streaming instances, and daily-python 0.28.0 with screen share custom tracks and Adaptive Bitrate enabled by default for camera tracks. On the server side, SIP dial-in and dial-out events now include `sipCallId` and `provider` fields, Signalwire is selectable as a telephony provider, and VCS streaming gains a configurable label placement parameter along with a mic status indicator.

## daily-react

[View full release notes →](https://github.com/daily-co/daily-react/releases)

### 0.25.0

* Added support for multiple concurrent recording and live streaming instances. `useRecording()` and `useLiveStreaming()` now accept an `instanceId` parameter for per-instance state. New `useRecordingInstances()` and `useLiveStreamingInstances()` hooks return all active instances, and new `RecordingInstanceState` and `LiveStreamingInstanceState` types are exported. Stopping or erroring one instance no longer clears state for others.
* Added `networkStatus` to the return value of `useNetwork()`.
* Added support for the `cloud-audio-only` recording type.
* The daily-react version is now reported through daily-js via the new `aboutClient` API, so it's included in call logs regardless of which library creates the call instance.

## daily-python

### 0.28.0

* Added support for `screenVideo` custom tracks. You can now send a custom screen share track by setting `inputs.screenVideo.settings.customTrack.id`.
* Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) is now enabled by default for camera tracks. It can still be disabled by setting `allow_adaptive_layers` to `False` in the camera `send_settings`.
* Fixed support for the `cloud-audio-only` recording type.
* Fixed panics in signalling reconnect paths when room lookup returns no worker.

## Daily Prebuilt

* Tightened the iOS user-agent match to reject spoofed iOS substrings.
* Fixed transcription language fallback so that an empty string falls back to the default language (switched from `??` to `||`).

## Media Services

### Telephony

* SIP dial-in and dial-out events now include `sipCallId` and `provider` fields, making it easier to correlate events with specific calls and providers.
* Signalwire and Daily can now be selected as a telephony provider for dial-in and dial-out.
* Standardized the `provider` value to lowercase `signalwire` in dial-in and dial-out events.
* Added `provider` as a valid parameter for the `startDialout` API.
* Added support for video track updates on SIP video calls.
* Fixed screen share track addition for SIP video.
* Added support for configuring a Cloudflare anycast IP address instead of the STUN server hostname.

### Recording

* Added a new `enable_raw_tracks_event_json` domain and room property to opt into JSON event output for raw-tracks recordings.
* Added more WAV settings for raw-tracks transcoded mode.
* Raw-tracks listings now verify S3 item `ContentType` to avoid including unexpected files.

### Streaming

* Added a new VCS parameter `videoSettings.grid.labelPlacement` for customizing participant label position in streaming layouts.
* Added a mic status indicator and a highlight border inset to VCS layouts.
* Fixed VCS participant label misindexing in audio-only layouts.
