## ◆ registerAudioFrameObserver()

virtual int agora::media::IMediaEngine::registerAudioFrameObserver | ( | IAudioFrameObserver * | observer | ) |
| pure virtual

Registers an audio frame observer object.

Call this method to register an audio frame observer object (register a callback). When you need the SDK to trigger the `onMixedAudioFrame`, `onRecordAudioFrame`, `onPlaybackAudioFrame`, `onPlaybackAudioFrameBeforeMixing` or `onEarMonitoringAudioFrame` callback, you need to use this method to register the callbacks. Call timing: Call this method before joining a channel.

Parameters

  observer | The observer instance. See `IAudioFrameObserver`. Set the value as NULL to release the instance. Agora recommends calling this method after receiving `onLeaveChannel` to release the audio observer object.

Returns
  - 0: Success.
  - < 0: Failure.

Implemented in agora::media::IMediaEngineEx.

## ◆ registerVideoFrameObserver()

virtual int agora::media::IMediaEngine::registerVideoFrameObserver | ( | IVideoFrameObserver * | observer | ) |
| pure virtual

Registers a raw video frame observer object.

If you want to observe raw video frames (such as YUV or RGBA format), Agora recommends that you implement one `IVideoFrameObserver` class with this method. When calling this method to register a video observer, you can register callbacks in the `IVideoFrameObserver` class as needed. After you successfully register the video frame observer, the SDK triggers the registered callbacks each time a video frame is received. Applicable scenarios: After registering the raw video observer, you can use the obtained raw video data in various video pre-processing scenarios, such as virtual backgrounds and image enhacement by yourself. Call timing: Call this method before joining a channel.

Note
  When handling the video data returned in the callbacks, pay attention to the changes in the `width` and `height` parameters, which may be adapted under the following circumstances:
  - When network conditions deteriorate, the video resolution decreases incrementally.
  - If the user adjusts the video profile, the resolution of the video returned in the callbacks also changes.

Parameters

  observer | The observer instance. See `IVideoFrameObserver`. To release the instance, set the value as NULL.

Returns
  - 0: Success.
  - < 0: Failure.

Implemented in agora::media::IMediaEngineEx.

## ◆ registerVideoEncodedFrameObserver()

virtual int agora::media::IMediaEngine::registerVideoEncodedFrameObserver | ( | IVideoEncodedFrameObserver * | observer | ) |
| pure virtual

Registers a receiver object for the encoded video image.

If you only want to observe encoded video frames (such as H.264 format) without decoding and rendering the video, Agora recommends that you implement one `IVideoEncodedFrameObserver` class through this method.

Note
  Call this method before joining a channel.

Parameters

  observer | The video frame observer object. See `IVideoEncodedFrameObserver`.

Returns
  - 0: Success.
  - < 0: Failure.

Implemented in agora::media::IMediaEngineEx.

## ◆ registerFaceInfoObserver()

virtual int agora::media::IMediaEngine::registerFaceInfoObserver | ( | IFaceInfoObserver * | observer | ) |
| pure virtual

Registers or unregisters a facial information observer.

You can call this method to register the `onFaceInfo` callback to receive the facial information processed by Agora speech driven extension. When calling this method to register a facial information observer, you can register callbacks in the `IFaceInfoObserver` class as needed. After successfully registering the facial information observer, the SDK triggers the callback you have registered when it captures the facial information converted by the speech driven extension. Applicable scenarios: Facial information processed by the Agora speech driven extension is BS (Blend Shape) data that complies with ARkit standards. You can further process the BS data using third-party 3D rendering engines, such as driving avatar to make mouth movements corresponding to speech.

Note
  - Call this method before joining a channel.
  - Before calling this method, you need to make sure that the speech driven extension has been enabled by calling `enableExtension`.

Parameters

  observer | Facial information observer, see `IFaceInfoObserver`. If you need to unregister a facial information observer, pass in NULL.

Returns
  - 0: Success.
  - < 0: Failure.

## ◆ pushAudioFrame()

virtual int agora::media::IMediaEngine::pushAudioFrame | ( | IAudioFrameObserverBase::AudioFrame * | frame,
|  | rtc::track_id_t | trackId = 0 )
| pure virtual

Pushes the external audio frame.

Call this method to push external audio frames through the audio track. Call timing: Before calling this method to push external audio data, perform the following steps:1. Call `createCustomAudioTrack` to create a custom audio track and get the audio track ID.

1. Call `joinChannel(const char* token, const char* channelId, uid_t uid, const ChannelMediaOptions& options)` to join the channel. In `ChannelMediaOptions`, set `publishCustomAudioTrackId` to the audio track ID that you want to publish, and set `publishCustomAudioTrack` to `true`.

Parameters

  frame | The external audio frame. See `AudioFrame`.
  trackId | The audio track ID. If you want to publish a custom external audio source, set this parameter to the ID of the corresponding custom audio track you want to publish.

Returns
  - 0: Success.
  - < 0: Failure.

## ◆ pullAudioFrame()

virtual int agora::media::IMediaEngine::pullAudioFrame | ( | IAudioFrameObserverBase::AudioFrame * | frame | ) |
| pure virtual

Pulls the remote audio data.

After a successful call of this method, the app pulls the decoded and mixed audio data for playback. Call timing: Call this method after joining a channel. Before calling this method, call `setExternalAudioSink` `(enabled: true)` to notify the app to enable and set the external audio rendering.

Note
  Both this method and the `onPlaybackAudioFrame` callback can be used to get audio data after remote mixing. After calling `setExternalAudioSink` to enable external audio rendering, the app will no longer be able to obtain data from the `onPlaybackAudioFrame` callback. Therefore, you should choose between this method and the `onPlaybackAudioFrame` callback based on your actual business requirements. The specific distinctions between them are as follows:
  - After calling this method, the app automatically pulls the audio data from the SDK. By setting the audio data parameters, the SDK adjusts the frame buffer to help the app handle latency, effectively avoiding audio playback jitter.
  - After registering the `onPlaybackAudioFrame` callback, the SDK sends the audio data to the app through the callback. Any delay in processing the audio frames may result in audio jitter. This method is only used for retrieving audio data after remote mixing. If you need to get audio data from different audio processing stages such as capture and playback, you can register the corresponding callbacks by calling `registerAudioFrameObserver`.

Parameters

  frame | Pointers to `AudioFrame`.

Returns
  - 0: Success.
  - < 0: Failure.

## ◆ setExternalVideoSource()

virtual int agora::media::IMediaEngine::setExternalVideoSource | ( | bool | enabled,
|  | bool | useTexture,
|  | EXTERNAL_VIDEO_SOURCE_TYPE | sourceType = VIDEO_FRAME,
|  | rtc::SenderOptions | encodedVideoOption = rtc::SenderOptions() )
| pure virtual

Configures the external video source.

After calling this method to enable an external video source, you can call `pushVideoFrame` to push external video data to the SDK. Call timing: Call this method before joining a channel.

Note
  Dynamic switching of video sources is not supported within the channel. To switch from an external video source to an internal video source, you must first leave the channel, call this method to disable the external video source, and then rejoin the channel.

Parameters

  enabled | Whether to use the external video source: `true`: Use the external video source. The SDK prepares to accept the external video frame. `false`: (Default) Do not use the external video source.
  useTexture | Whether to use the external video frame in the Texture format. `true`: Use the external video frame in the Texture format. `false`: (Default) Do not use the external video frame in the Texture format.
  sourceType | Whether the external video frame is encoded. See `EXTERNAL_VIDEO_SOURCE_TYPE`.
  encodedVideoOption | Video encoding options. This parameter needs to be set if `sourceType` is `ENCODED_VIDEO_FRAME`. To set this parameter, contact `technical support`.

Returns
  - 0: Success.
  - < 0: Failure.

## ◆ setExternalRemoteEglContext()

virtual int agora::media::IMediaEngine::setExternalRemoteEglContext | ( | void * | eglContext | ) |
| pure virtual

Sets the EGL context for rendering remote video streams.

This method can replace the default remote EGL context within the SDK, making it easier to manage the EGL context. When the engine is destroyed, the SDK will automatically release the EGL context. Applicable scenarios: This method is suitable for using a custom video rendering method instead of the default SDK rendering method to render remote video frames in Texture format. Call timing: Call this method before joining a channel.

Note
  This method is for Android only.

Parameters

  eglContext | The EGL context for rendering remote video streams.

Returns
  - 0: Success.
  - < 0: Failure.

## ◆ setExternalAudioSource()

virtual int agora::media::IMediaEngine::setExternalAudioSource | ( | bool | enabled,
|  | int | sampleRate,
|  | int | channels,
|  | bool | localPlayback = false,
|  | bool | publish = true )
| pure virtual

Sets the external audio source parameters.

Deprecated
  This method is deprecated. Use createCustomAudioTrack(rtc::AUDIO_TRACK_TYPE trackType, const rtc::AudioTrackConfig& config) instead.

Call timing: Call this method before joining a channel.

Parameters

  enabled | Whether to enable the external audio source: `true`: Enable the external audio source. `false`: (Default) Disable the external audio source.
  sampleRate | The sample rate (Hz) of the external audio source which can be set as `8000`, `16000`, `32000`, `44100`, or `48000`.
  channels | The number of channels of the external audio source, which can be set as `1` (Mono) or `2` (Stereo).
  localPlayback | Whether to play the external audio source: `true`: Play the external audio source. `false`: (Default) Do not play the external source.
  publish | Whether to publish audio to the remote users: `true`: (Default) Publish audio to the remote users. `false`: Do not publish audio to the remote users.

Returns
  - 0: Success.
  - < 0: Failure.

## ◆ createCustomAudioTrack()

virtual rtc::track_id_t agora::media::IMediaEngine::createCustomAudioTrack | ( | rtc::AUDIO_TRACK_TYPE | trackType,
|  | const rtc::AudioTrackConfig & | config )
| pure virtual

Creates a custom audio track.

To publish a custom audio source, see the following steps:1. Call this method to create a custom audio track and get the audio track ID.

1. Call `joinChannel(const char* token, const char* channelId, uid_t uid, const ChannelMediaOptions& options)` to join the channel. In `ChannelMediaOptions`, set `publishCustomAudioTrackId` to the audio track ID that you want to publish, and set `publishCustomAudioTrack` to `true`.
2. Call `pushAudioFrame` and specify `trackId` as the audio track ID set in step 2. You can then publish the corresponding custom audio source in the channel.

Note
  Call this method before joining a channel.

Parameters

  trackType | The type of the custom audio track. See `AUDIO_TRACK_TYPE`.Attention: If `AUDIO_TRACK_DIRECT` is specified for this parameter, you must set `publishMicrophoneTrack` to `false` in `ChannelMediaOptions` when calling `joinChannel(const char* token, const char* channelId, uid_t uid, const ChannelMediaOptions& options)` to join the channel; otherwise, joining the channel fails and returns the error code -2.
  config | The configuration of the custom audio track. See `AudioTrackConfig`.

Returns
  - If the method call is successful, the audio track ID is returned as the unique identifier of the audio track.
  - If the method call fails, 0xffffffff is returned.

## ◆ destroyCustomAudioTrack()

virtual int agora::media::IMediaEngine::destroyCustomAudioTrack | ( | rtc::track_id_t | trackId | ) |
| pure virtual

Destroys the specified audio track.

Parameters

  trackId | The custom audio track ID returned in `createCustomAudioTrack`.

Returns
  - 0: Success.
  - < 0: Failure.

## ◆ setExternalAudioSink()

virtual int agora::media::IMediaEngine::setExternalAudioSink | ( | bool | enabled,
|  | int | sampleRate,
|  | int | channels )
| pure virtual

Sets the external audio sink.

After enabling the external audio sink, you can call `pullAudioFrame` to pull remote audio frames. The app can process the remote audio and play it with the audio effects that you want. Applicable scenarios: This method applies to scenarios where you want to use external audio data for playback. Call timing: Call this method before joining a channel.

Note
  Once you enable the external audio sink, the app will not retrieve any audio data from the `onPlaybackAudioFrame` callback.

Parameters

  enabled | Whether to enable or disable the external audio sink: `true`: Enables the external audio sink. `false`: (Default) Disables the external audio sink.
  sampleRate | The sample rate (Hz) of the external audio sink, which can be set as 16000, 32000, 44100, or 48000.
  channels | The number of audio channels of the external audio sink: 1: Mono. 2: Stereo.

Returns
  - 0: Success.
  - < 0: Failure.

## ◆ enableCustomAudioLocalPlayback()

virtual int agora::media::IMediaEngine::enableCustomAudioLocalPlayback | ( | rtc::track_id_t | trackId,
|  | bool | enabled )
| pure virtual

Sets the external audio track.

Note
  Ensure that you call this method before joining the channel.

Parameters

  trackId | The custom audio track id.
  enabled | Enable/Disables the local playback of external audio track: true: Enable local playback false: Do not enable local playback

Returns
  - 0: Success.
  - < 0: Failure.

## ◆ pushVideoFrame()

virtual int agora::media::IMediaEngine::pushVideoFrame | ( | base::ExternalVideoFrame * | frame,
|  | unsigned int | videoTrackId = 0 )
| pure virtual

Pushes the external raw video frame to the SDK through video tracks.

To publish a custom video source, see the following steps:1. Call `createCustomVideoTrack` to create a video track and get the video track ID.

1. Call `joinChannel(const char* token, const char* channelId, uid_t uid, const ChannelMediaOptions& options)` to join the channel. In `ChannelMediaOptions`, set `customVideoTrackId` to the video track ID that you want to publish, and set `publishCustomVideoTrack` to `true`.
2. Call this method and specify `videoTrackId` as the video track ID set in step 2. You can then publish the corresponding custom video source in the channel. Applicable scenarios: The SDK supports the ID3D11Texture2D video format since v4.2.3, which is widely used in game scenarios. When you need to push this type of video frame to the SDK, call this method and set the `format` in the `frame` to `VIDEO_TEXTURE_ID3D11TEXTURE2D`, set the `d3d11_texture_2d` and `texture_slice_index` members, and set the format of the video frame to ID3D11Texture2D.

Note
  If you only need to push one custom video source to the channel, you can directly call the `setExternalVideoSource` method and the SDK will automatically create a video track with the `videoTrackId` set to 0. DANGER: After calling this method, even if you stop pushing external video frames to the SDK, the custom video stream will still be counted as the video duration usage and incur charges. Agora recommends that you take appropriate measures based on the actual situation to avoid such video billing.
  - If you no longer need to capture external video data, you can call `destroyCustomVideoTrack` to destroy the custom video track.
  - If you only want to use the external video data for local preview and not publish it in the channel, you can call `muteLocalVideoStream` to cancel sending video stream or call `updateChannelMediaOptions` to set `publishCustomVideoTrack` to `false`.

Parameters

  frame | The external raw video frame to be pushed. See `ExternalVideoFrame`.
  videoTrackId | The video track ID returned by calling the `createCustomVideoTrack` method.Note: If you only need to push one custom video source, set `videoTrackId` to 0.

Returns
  - 0: Success.
  - < 0: Failure.

## ◆ pushEncodedVideoImage()

virtual int agora::media::IMediaEngine::pushEncodedVideoImage | ( | const unsigned char * | imageBuffer,
|  | size_t | length,
|  | const agora::rtc::EncodedVideoFrameInfo & | videoEncodedFrameInfo,
|  | unsigned int | videoTrackId = 0 )
| pure virtual

Pushes the encoded video image to the app.

Parameters

  imageBuffer | A pointer to the video image.
  length | The data length.
  videoEncodedFrameInfo | The reference to the information of the encoded video frame: EncodedVideoFrameInfo.
