Version 25.1.0

Product Bulletin No. 1522, May 2025

What's new in this release?

  • Expose public interface to show or hide statistics dialog
  • The VidyoPlatform SDK has the capability to show ongoing video call statistics in a separate dialog box on both desktops and laptops. Until now, this was only available for the standard VidyoConnect for Desktop application. Starting with this release, the API to enable the statistics dialog box is available for all customers.
  • Torch mode on Android and iOS platforms
  • On Android and iOS, APIs have been provided for the LocalCamera set/get interface so users can enable/disable torch mode during video calls.
  • Picture-in-picture (PIP) application mode on Android platform
  • Until now, applications based on the VidyoPlatform SDK would either remain in the foreground in full-screen mode or go into the background where the video would be disabled. With this release, these applications can be put into picture-in-picture (PIP) mode, where they occupy a small part of the screen, thereby allowing users to use other applications without disabling the video of the VidyoPlatform SDK application.
  • Next generation renderer for iOS platform
  • Although Apple recommends using Metal for rendering, VidyoPlatform SDK’s existing renderer is based on the OpenGL library, which has been deprecated on Apple platforms. Consequently, Vidyo has developed a new renderer, based on the WGPU library, which uses Metal for rendering on Apple platforms.
  • Vidyo's next generation renderer is only enabled for iOS platforms at this time.
  • The existing renderer, which is now deprecated for the iOS platform, remains the current default renderer. The next generation renderer can be enabled by customers using APIs.
  • BOM secure library upgrades
  • OpenSSL has been upgraded to 3.0.15.
  • LibSRTP has been upgraded to 2.6.0.
  • Bug fixes
  • In this release, we've addressed some issues to improve usability and reliability.
