Refactoring of Logic around Gathering and Updating Local Media

Project Code Name: v2 Cam And Mic

We are gradually rolling out a complete refactor of our internal logic that deals with gathering and updating a client's local media (unmuting, changing devices, etc). This refactor will resolve a number of known issues around local device handling and simplify usage and permissions gathering that have long been a source of customer frustrations🎉. We will be porting all domains to use this new logic in the 0.47.0 or 0.48.0 release (depending on timing and success of the rollout).

Nothing is required of you to adopt these changes at the time of rollout, but if you would like to opt in early to try the refactor beforehand, simply specify dailyConfig: { v2CamAndMic: true } wherever you provide your call options. While we are comprehensively testing the refactor to catch any issues, we recommend previewing and testing this behavior if you have unique or complicated setups around local media devices.

Prebuilt Users:

This behavior is already being rolled out gradually across a percentage of prebuilt calls. If you believe you are seeing an increase in issues around local media, please reach out to [email protected].

In the dashboard:

To determine if a given user session is using new (v2) or old logic, look for the log line:

using v2 cam and mic logic: <true/false>

avoidEval will become true by default

Today you can opt in to making daily-js behave in a CSP-friendly way by specifying dailyConfig: { avoidEval: true } wherever you provide your call options. You can read more about this option and how to set up your CSP (Content Security Policy) in this guide.

Starting in an upcoming version of daily-js, avoidEval will switch to defaulting to true. To prepare for this change, please make sure that your CSP's script-src directive contains https://*.daily.co (or explicitly opt out of the new behavior by setting avoidEval: false).
