Description
I’m currently working on a Zoom integration which involves using Custom UI. It’s going quite well thanks to the documentation and code examples available. However I’m having an issue on iOS where if a user is in a meeting, and they start some music in, for example, Spotify, the meeting’s audio cuts out. That is, although the video is still displayed and updated, no sound can be heard until the user goes and stops their music.
I’ve spent some time looking into this, and having tested the Sample app, I can see that the audio mixing works when using the preset UI, however, when switching to the Custom UI in the provided sample app I see the same issue that I’m experiencing.
My question is, then, are there any configuration options I can change so that music can be played along side meeting audio when using the Custom UI?
Which version?
mobileRTC Version: 4.6.15805.0403
To Reproduce(If applicable)
Open the Zoom iOS SDK Sample App
Enable Custom UI from settings
Enter a meeting
Connect audio
Confirm that meeting audio can be heard
Open Spotify (Or music app of your choice)
Start some music
Return to the Sample App
Meeting audio can no longer be heard
Smartphone (please complete the following information):
Device: iPhone SE (2016)
OS: iOS 13.3.1
Additional context
It’s possible to play meeting audio and music audio with the Android SDK.
Thanks for using Zoom SDK and thanks for the detailed explanation. Let me forward this to the engineering team for further investigation and get back to you shortly.
Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to solve the problem with this.
I’m testing with the MobileRTCSample project, and so I added this line to - (void)joinMeeting:(NSString*)meetingNo withPassword:(NSString*)pwd on line 409, MainViewController.m, and also to the AppDelegate applicationDidBecomeActivie.
This message shows up in the log when I press play on the music while in a meeting with audio. 2020-05-07 17:56:33.973623+0100 MobileRTCSample[863:128886] audioSessionDidInterruptNotification 1
Just to confirm my exact steps when testing this:
Run MobileRTCSample on my iPhone SE
Go to Settings -> Meeting Settings and ensure ‘Custom Meeting’ is enabled
Click Join a Meeting, enter meeting number, click ok
Enter display name, and click ok
Admit myself to the meeting from my host client
Click ‘Join Audio’ in MobileRTCSample, then Call via Internet
Confirm that the MobileRTCSample is receiving sound from my host client
Swipe up the iOS control panel
Click play on the audio widget
Swipe down the iOS control panel to return to the MobileRTCSample app
Confirm that the MobileRTCSample app is no longer receiving sound from the meeting
No problem, I ended up using method swizzling to swap out the AVAudioSession.setCategory method, such that it added in the .mixWithOthers option on every call.
Initially my approach was share view, later switched to Broadcast Upload Extension.
Basically i’m trying to screen share few presentations which also has video content with audio.
The problem i’m facing here is, when sharing my screen, if any video is played, user and host can talk but i was unable to send audio generated from video at the same time.
I tried AVAudioSession with playback, ambient and also with mixWithOther options and many modes in combination, but nothing really worked.
Also swizzled the setCategory, still didn’t work out.
Background mode Audio, Airplay and Picture in picture is active.
Videos are presented with AVPlayer and default playback from WKWebView(it loads the video from local directory).
Please provide a solution or workaround.
To Reproduce
Create custom meeting, and let user joins the meeting.
Start broadcasting screen.
Player a local video in the application with AVPlayer or stream via wkwebview.
Check at user end whether video sound is coming or not, also the sound from microphone must be heard at the same time.
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have forwarded this as a feature request to the engineering team and the team will investigate the possibility of adding this feature. Please follow our Github repo for any updates: https://github.com/zoom/zoom-sdk-ios
Is any way to detect “Start broadcast” tapped or not?
I want to dismiss “RPSystemBroadcastPickerView” when user taps on “Start broadcast”. Please let me know any solution for this.

Hi @pandiyaraj,
I have done a work around for this,
I used appgroup and store data in extension (Bool) with a specific KEY, when broadcast extension gets started init is called (set value true), when extension get finish (set value false).
In main app,
Use nsdefault to observe the Key.
Make sure to observe all this option Initial, Old and new.
Extension code :-
In init function :-
NSUserDefaults * defaults = [[NSUserDefaults alloc] initWithSuiteName:groupID];
[defaults setBool:true forKey:broadcastKey];
[defaults synchronize];
In broadcastFinished function :-
[defaults setBool: FALSE forKey:broadcastKey];
[defaults synchronize];
Main App Inside a ViewController
NSUserDefaults * appGroup = [[NSUserDefaults alloc] initWithSuiteName:groupID];
[appGroup addObserver:self forKeyPath:broadcastKey options: NSKeyValueObservingOptionInitial | NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew | NSKeyValueObservingOptionOld context:nil];
[appGroup setBool:false forKey:broadcastKey]; // MAKE SURE TO INIT ONCE WITH FALSE, ELSE YOU WON’T GET CALL BACK FIRST TIME.
Next Override this function to observe when value is changed.
