Step 5: Start and Join Sessions

Twilio
// Replace Twilio Video import
                    import * as TwilioVideo from 'twilio-video'
                    
                    var twilioVideo = TwilioVideo
                    var twilioRoom
                    
                    twilioRoom = await twilioVideo.connect(TOKEN, { name: 'yourName', audio: false, video: false, dominantSpeaker: true })
EnableX
/* Configure your Media Stream to publish */ 
                    var PublishStreamInfo = { 
                      audio: true,  
                      video: true, 
                      videoSize: [640, 480, 640, 480], 
                      attributes : {    
                          name: "John", 
                          age: 21, 
                          emp_id: "EMP039" 
                      }  
                    }; 
                    
                    /* Create Empty Object, if not to publish Media Stream */ 
                    var PublishStreamInfo = {} ; 
                    
                    /* Connect to Video Room */ 
                    localStream = EnxRtc.joinRoom(TOKEN, PublishStreamInfo, function(success, error) { 
                    if (error && error != null) { 
                     /* Handle Connection Error */ 
                    } 
                    if (success && success != null) {   
                     /* Connected Room Information */  
                     room = success.room;    
                    } 
                    });

Step 6: Publish Remote Stream

Twilio
// video
                    let localVideoTrack = await twilioVideo.createLocalVideoTrack({
                       height: { ideal: 720, min: 480, max: 1080 },
                       width:  { ideal: 1280, min: 640, max: 1920 },
                       aspectRatio: 16/9,
                    })
                    
                    twilioRoom.localParticipant.publishTrack(localVideoTrack)
                    const localMediaContainer = document.getElementById('video-container-div')
                    localMediaContainer!.appendChild(localVideoTrack.attach())
                    
                    // audio
                    let localAudioTrack = await twilioVideo.createLocalAudioTrack()
                    
                    twilioRoom.localParticipant.publishTrack(localAudioTrack);
                    const audioElement = localAudioTrack.attach();
                    document.body.appendChild(audioElement);
EnableX
// Configure Optional Publishing Options
                    var PublishOpt = {
                         "minVideoBW":"Number",  
                         "maxVideoBW": "Number" 
                    };
                    
                    room.publish(localStream, PublishOpt, function(StreamId) {
                    });

Step 7: Unpublish Remote Stream

Twilio
twilioRoom.localParticipant.videoTracks.forEach((publication) => {
                    publication.unpublish();
                    publication.track.stop();
                    var selfTwilioVideo = document.getElementById('video-container-div')
                    selfTwilioVideo?.querySelector('video')?.remove()
                })
               
                twilioRoom.localParticipant.audioTracks.forEach((publication) => {
                    publication.track.disable()
                })
EnableX
room.unpublish(localStream, function(result, error) {
                    if (result === undefined) {
                        // Failed       
                     } else {
                        // Unpublished      
                     }  
                });

Step 8: End Session

Leaving a Session in Twilio

In Twilio, you might have used the disconnect function to leave a session.

twilioVideo.disconnect()
room.disconnect(); 
 
                    room.addEventListener("room-disconnected", function(event) { 
                         // You are disconnected 
                    }); 
                     
                    room.addEventListener("user-disconnected", function(event) { 
                         // One user is disconnected 
                         // event - User Information of disconnected user 
                     });
