Hey @tommy , the data we get from audio-statistic-data-change and video-statistic-data-change events, Can we know of which user the received statistic data belongs to as currently, I don’t see any userId field in the payload.

I hope the problem when the participants turned on the sound when the host exited, if you specify the role_type is fixed ? )

I described it here V1.2.0: Improved role management: Original host - #2 by vic.yang

Hey @shoaib

The statistic data of audio/video is a reflection of the overall network, not the specific user. We are planning to provide the fps and resolution data for each video.

Thanks
Vic
