Reduce number of subsessions after creating

Video SDK Web
1

Description
So I have a need to reduce the number of subsessions created for example from 4 to 2. But the Video SDK only allows for adding subsessions and not removing them. I want to know if there is provision for reducing the number of subsessions or removing the subsessions after creating them.

Which Web Video SDK version?
1.9.8

Hey @godwin.owonam

Thanks for your feedback.

It doesn’t matter.

You can create more sub-sessions than you actually need, but the ones that are truly enabled are those passed in the openSubsessions method.

Thanks

Thanks for your reply @vic.yang

What I was asking was if it was possible to remove already created subsessions?

Hey @godwin.owonam

We currently do not provide a method to remove a subsession. However, as mentioned above, if a subsession is not needed, you can simply omit it in the openSubsessions method.

Thanks

Alright.

Many thanks @vic.yang
It’s relieving to know this. Although I would have loved it otherwise but thanks for the workaround.

However @vic.yang
Say I opened 5 subsessions the first time and then choose to open 2 the next time, what happens to the users in the other 3 subsessions, do they get reassigned to the 2 subsessions that have been opened?

Hey @godwin.owonam

No. You need to manually assign users from the other 3 subsessions to these 2 subsessions.

In short, the subsessions specified in openSubsessions method represent the final state of the subsessions you are going to open."

Thanks
