Hey @dev_lxpead
Thanks for your feedback.
As you saw in the error message, we have a maximum limit on the number of videos in certain devices or browser environments.
We’re continuously working to improve this experience.
In the latest version 2.1.10, we introduced the stream.getMaxRenderableVideos() method, which allows you to understand the maximum number of videos that can be rendered and helps you plan the layout accordingly.
Thanks
Vic
Thanks for the feedback!
Since this is a limitation of the service, how can we deal with this when we know the limit for each device? Is there a way to set a priority for cameras and screen sharing that should always be active?
What would be your suggestion for dealing with this limitation in the best way?
Hi @dev_lxpead

As you’ve shared some session IDs in other threads, our analysis shows that SharedArrayBuffer is not enabled on your site.
In this case, when using version 1.x of the Video SDK, you can set enforceMultipleVideos: { disableRenderLimits: true } in the init method to forcibly support up to 25 videos — though this does come with performance concerns.
We recommend switching to the latest Video SDK version (2.1.10), which uses a new video solution that provides better support for multi-stream video rendering.
Thanks
Vic
