setNetworkTopology()

setNetworkTopology({ topology }) Prebuilt Custom Must be called after join().

For testing only. Calling setNetworkTopology() permanently overrides Daily’s automatic topology management for the duration of the call — including any sfu_switchover threshold configured on the room or domain. Once called, Daily will no longer auto-switch based on participant count.Use this only to test topology-specific behavior during development. If Daily’s defaults aren’t working for your use case, contact help@daily.co.

Parameters

'sfu' | 'peer'

required

'sfu' — route media through Daily’s Selective Forwarding Unit
'peer' — use direct peer-to-peer connections

Return value

Returns a Promise that resolves to an object:

string

Identifier of the SFU instance connected to. undefined for peer connections.

string

Present if the topology change failed.

Example

const { workerId } = await call.setNetworkTopology({ topology: 'sfu' });
console.log('Connected to SFU worker:', workerId);
