Video pause reason

A video stream can be paused for various reasons, such as a user choosing to pause the video or the camera being disabled.

For both 1-to-1 calls and group calls, the reason for video pause is delivered in the event callbacks when video is paused. The EVideoPauseReason enum defines the following reasons for video pause.

Enum constantDescription
PLNK_VIDEO_PAUSE_REASON_BY_USERWhen a peer calls PauseMyVideo()
PLNK_VIDEO_PAUSE_REASON_BY_INTERRUPTWhen the app enters background status
PLNK_VIDEO_PAUSE_REASON_ENABLE_VIDEO_RESPONSE(Only for 1-to-1 calls) When the peer has set the response type to PAUSE and the user makes a request for enabling a video call. For more information, refer to Enable video call from audio call.

Note

Up to PlanetKit 4.3, in a group call, the shareVideoPause property (default value is true) in the conference parameter must be set to false to disable sharing the user's own video pause status with others. The shareVideoPause property has been removed since PlanetKit 4.4.
