• The VideoInput example scene now shows an animated panorama image to allow testing with different birate requrements
• WebGL: Calling Unity_Media_EnableScreenCapture(“screen”, true) allows capturing the screen with system audio if supported by the browser.

UWP / Holo Video Chat:

• Fixed several issues within the wrapper that could cause stalls (deadlock in the SDK) and crashes (leaking of the video tracks that resulted in the camera to remain active)
• fixed crash causing issue when deactivating EyeTracking. This resulted in the system to restart accessing the camera directly while the VideoTransformer might still access the camera
• camera access is now delayed by 2 seconds or so
• Made the log more chatty to hopefully better be able to reproduce any crashes
• Added different VideoQuality structs to make changing it easier

You can revert to the default behavior by removing line “WebRtcCSharp.IosHelper.IosKeepAudioActive(true);” in UnityCallFactory. If the unity audio stops playing it can also be restarted it by calling the native C call “UnitySetAudioSessionActive”
• Merged all previous hotfixes into this version
• VirtualCamera will now use a depth buffer
• Android: CallAppUi will now individually request Microphone or Camera permissions if the Audio or Video button is pressed. It will untick it automatically if the permissions are missing. Some unity version omitted the second permission request if both were triggered at the same time

0.9843

• rebuild for the win x86 version to avoid an apparent compiler bug that could cause crashes during encoding of VP8 frames . Only specific CPU’s with AVX support were effected. The returned version remains at 0.9841 as no other platforms were effected.

0.9842

• iOS hotfix: In iOS 13 the local video could fail to show up / being sent. The new iOS version changed the video format by adding a padding at the end of each row of pixels causing a 1280×720 image to be 1280×768 in memory. The new hotfix will remove this padding and make sure the C# side remains compatible to all earlier versions.
• The built-in version number will still be “V0.9841” only the asset store version number had to be increased to “V0.9842” to trigger the update + notification
