- (NSInteger) setCameraFocusPosition:

(CGPoint)

position

Adjusting the focus (for mobile OS)

This API can be used to achieve the following:

1. A user can tap on the camera preview.
2. A rectangle will appear where the user taps, indicating the spot the camera will focus on.
3. The user passes the coordinates of the spot to the SDK using this API, and the SDK will instruct the camera to focus as required.

   Attention

   Before using this API, you must first disable auto focus using enableCameraAutoFocus.

   Parameters

   position

   The spot to focus on. Pass in the coordinates of the spot you want to focus on.

   Returns

   0: operation successful; negative number: operation failed.

isCameraTorchSupported()

route

Setting the audio route (for mobile OS)

A mobile phone has two audio playback devices: the receiver at the top and the speaker at the bottom. If the audio route is set to the receiver, the volume is relatively low, and audio can be heard only when the phone is put near the ear. This mode has a high level of privacy and is suitable for answering calls. If the audio route is set to the speaker, the volume is relatively high, and there is no need to put the phone near the ear. This mode enables the "hands-free" feature.

Parameters

type	Device type. For details, please see the definition of TXMediaDeviceType.
deviceId	Device ID. You can get the ID of a device using the getDevicesList API.

Returns

0: operation successful; negative number: operation failed.

getCurrentDevice()

- (TXMediaDeviceInfo * _Nullable) getCurrentDevice:

(TXMediaDeviceType)

type

Getting the device currently in use (for desktop OS)

setCurrentDeviceVolume:deviceType()

- (NSInteger) setCurrentDeviceVolume:		(NSInteger)	volume
deviceType:		(TXMediaDeviceType)	type

Setting the volume of the current device (for desktop OS)

This API is used to set the capturing volume of the mic or playback volume of the speaker, but not the volume of the camera.

Parameters

volume

Volume. Value range: 0-100; default: 100

Attention

If 100 is still not loud enough for you, you can contact technical support to set the volume to up to 150, but there may be side effects.

getCurrentDeviceVolume()

- (NSInteger) getCurrentDeviceVolume:

(TXMediaDeviceType)

type

Getting the volume of the current device (for desktop OS)

This API is used to get the capturing volume of the mic or playback volume of the speaker, but not the volume of the camera.

setCurrentDeviceMute:deviceType()

- (NSInteger) setCurrentDeviceMute:		(BOOL)	mute
deviceType:		(TXMediaDeviceType)	type

Muting the current device (for desktop OS)

This API is used to mute the mic or speaker, but not the camera.

getCurrentDeviceMute()

- (BOOL) getCurrentDeviceMute:

(TXMediaDeviceType)

type

Querying whether the current device is muted (for desktop OS)

This API is used to query whether the mic or speaker is muted. Camera muting is not supported.

startCameraDeviceTest()

- (NSInteger) startCameraDeviceTest:

(NSView *)

view

Starting camera testing (for desktop OS)

Enumeration Type Documentation

TXSystemVolumeType

enum TXSystemVolumeType : NSInteger

System volume type (for mobile devices only)

Smartphones usually have two types of system volume: call volume and media volume.

• Call volume is designed for call scenarios. It comes with acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) and supports audio capturing by Bluetooth earphones, but its sound quality is average. If you cannot turn the volume down to 0 (i.e., mute the phone) using the volume buttons, then your phone is using call volume.
• Media volume is designed for media scenarios such as music playback. AEC does not work when media volume is used, and Bluetooth earphones cannot be used for audio capturing. However, media volume delivers better music listening experience. If you are able to mute your phone using the volume buttons, then your phone is using media volume.

The SDK offers three system volume control modes: auto, call volume, and media volume.

Enumerator
TXSystemVolumeTypeAuto	Auto: In the auto mode, call volume is used for anchors, and media volume for audience. This mode is suitable for live streaming scenarios.
TXSystemVolumeTypeMedia	Media volume: In this mode, media volume is used in all scenarios. It is rarely used, mainly suitable for music scenarios with demanding requirements on audio quality. Use this mode if most of your users use peripheral devices such as audio cards. Otherwise, it is not recommended.
TXSystemVolumeTypeVOIP	Call volume: In this mode, the audio module does not change its work mode when users switch between anchors and audience, enabling seamless mic on/off. This mode is suitable for scenarios where users need to switch frequently between anchors and audience.

TXAudioRoute

enum TXAudioRoute : NSInteger

Audio route (the route via which audio is played)

Audio route is the route (speaker or receiver) via which audio is played. It applies only to mobile devices such as mobile phones. A mobile phone has two speakers: one at the top (receiver) and the other the bottom.

• If the audio route is set to the receiver, the volume is relatively low, and audio can be heard only when the phone is put near the ear. This mode has a high level of privacy and is suitable for answering calls.
• If the audio route is set to the speaker, the volume is relatively high, and there is no need to put the phone near the ear. This mode enables the "hands-free" feature.

Enumerator
TXAudioRouteSpeakerphone	Speakerphone: the speaker at the bottom is used for playback (hands-free). With relatively high volume, it is used to play music out loud.
TXAudioRouteEarpiece	Earpiece: the receiver at the top is used for playback. With relatively low volume, it is suitable for call scenarios that require privacy.

TXMediaDeviceType

enum TXMediaDeviceType : NSInteger

Device type (for desktop OS)

This enumerated type defines three types of audio/video devices, namely camera, mic and speaker, so that you can use the same device management API to manage three types of devices.

Enumerator
TXMediaDeviceTypeUnknown	undefined device type
TXMediaDeviceTypeAudioInput	microphone
TXMediaDeviceTypeAudioOutput	speaker or earpiece
TXMediaDeviceTypeVideoCamera	camera
