App type: General app, Platform: Real-time Media Streaming (RTMS) Issue: Video data event user_id attribution
Hi everyone,
I’m working with RTMS video streaming and need to confirm expected behaviour for video data events.
Issue: We’re experiencing user_id mismatching in video data events. The camera feed from one user is being tagged with another user’s user_id, causing incorrect attribution of video streams.
Question: Should the user_id attached to each video data event match the user_id of the participant whose video stream it originates from?
What we’re seeing:
User A’s video feed receives User B’s user_id in the data event
User IDs appear to be swapped/mixed up between participants
This makes it impossible to correctly track individual user video streams
Expected behaviour: user_id in video data event = user_id of the video stream’s source participant
Questions:
Is this expected behaviour or a known issue?
Are there any workarounds for reliable user video stream identification?
Should we be using a different identifier for tracking individual video feeds?
Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I’m experiencing this same issue. As a temporary workaround we’re using the audio data because the user ids for that appear to be correct. @chunsiong.zoom
@ruarim there is no individual video stream right now. What you are seeing from the video stream is the active speaker view. It shows the video of the person which is set as “active speaker”
