Rendering of Subsessions

[Lennart]

Description
I am trying to implement the subsession feature for the most recent Zoom VideoSDK Web-Version. Creating the subsession, assigning users to them and finally opening the sessions works fine. I am using auto-join! My issue is with the rendering of the subsession participants on the video-player-container element.

So when the subsessions start the following happens:

Host (opened the subsessions)

1. The user (host) that created and opened the subsessions receives some user-removed events for all the participants that were assigned to the subessions. I use this to remove the participants from the video container. Everything as it should!
2. Next the host receives user-added events that include a subsession id. I just ignore these events. This also results in a correct video container.

Normaler user assigned to subsession

1. Next I look at what happens on the side of a normal user. This user only receives an add-user event that includes himself, but no subsession id.
2. Next I receive an empty user-removed event and thats it.
3. This leaves me unable to determine that this user was added to a subsession and which subsession.

My fix:

1. I tried to use the connection-change event. By looking for the ‘join breakout room’ reason I can now detect that the user is beeing added to a breakout room.
2. If that happens, I clear the whole video-container and re-initalize it by calling client.getAllUser(); and listening to the user-added event. This also seems to result in a correct video container.

My issue is the following: How do I determine which subsession the user is in? Neither the connection-change, nor the user-added events contain a subsessionId and client.getCurrentUserInfo(); returnes undefined for a while (I could work around this using a timeout…)

How do I properly detect that the user now joined a subsession and which subsession he joined? I couldn’t find an event that helps me detect this. It feels like this is a basic requirement to implement subsession, so what am I missing here?

Thank in advance!

Hi @Lennart have you tried the getCurrentSubsession method on the SubsessionClient?

It should return { subsessionId: string; subsessionName: string; userStatus: SubsessionUserStatus }
