How to get local video view layer iOS?

[tiwari1amrit]

Hi there,
How to show a published video view to another view in iOS Swift? Currently, my application flow is that lets Screen A will publish the user local video for video conferencing, and after connecting I have to move to another view controller lets say Screen B, So is there any proper way to get that video layer from AntMediaClient?
Currently, What I am doing is that
I am joining room on Screen A as

  let url = Urls.urlForPlay()
  self.conferenceClient.setWebSocketServerUrl(url: url)
  self.conferenceClient.setLocalView(container: self.videoView, mode: .scaleAspectFill)
  self.conferenceClient.joinRoom(roomId: roomId)

and after successfully connected, I am passing conferenceClient object to Screen B and I want to show that self.videoView on screen B. Is there any possible way through AntMediaClient

I can simply pass the view layer from Screen A to Screen B but can't able to change video mode. Please provide me better solution.

Hi @tiwariammit,

Thank you for the question. What exactly do you want to achieve? Because it does not make too much sense for me to give the ConferenceClient object to a different screen. I mean if I know what exactly you want to achieve, I may provide a better answer.

As an answer to your question, I think the best way is to use RTCVideoTrack to play the stream as in the playing the streams in ConferenceController.
On the other hand, localVideoTrack in the SDK is not exposed. As a solution, we can expose the RTCVideoTrack in two ways.
The first one is with the getter and the second one is via the delegate method. You can

Just let me know what you want to achieve and how to proceed.

Cheers

Hi Mekya,
Thank you for getting back to me.
My question is that I got two views for the video conference which I attached below.
On the join meeting screen, I joined meeting using

self.conferenceClient.setWebSocketServerUrl(url: url)
self.conferenceClient.setLocalView(container: self.videoView, mode: .scaleAspectFit)
self.conferenceClient.joinRoom(roomId: roomId)
self.conferenceClient.publish(streamId: publisherStreamId)

which will publish the local video after connecting I have to move the video conferencing screen. On this screen, I have to show my local view which I gave as

self.conferenceClient.setLocalView(container: self.videoView, mode: .scaleAspectFill)
So the view will manage frame as videoView frame, currently, I am just passing videoView to video conferencing screen and on this new controller I added videoView layer to new view as

self.previousLocalVideoView.frame = self.localVideoView.bounds
self.previousLocalVideoView.backgroundColor = .red
self.localVideoView.layer.addSublayer(self.previousLocalVideoView.layer)

My issue is that the conferenceClient video can't render it view again which will get a frame issue, I have attached a screenshot.
Note: it may raise a question that previousLocalVideoView didn't take localVideoView frame, so I have added background color to remove your confusion. Another method is that creating new instance of AntMediaClient, but I can't able to off the speaker because turn off speaker function is a static method which will turn off all speaker.

public static func speakerOff()
So, what will be the best solution to solve this issue?

Hi Mekya,
I solved it by managing the view frame. Thank you for your response.
