switchRole abstract method

void switchRole(TRTCRoleType role)

Switch role

This API is used to switch the user role between anchor and audience.

As video live rooms and audio chat rooms need to support an audience of up to 100,000 concurrent online users, the rule "only anchors can publish their audio/video streams" has been set. Therefore, when some users want to publish their streams (so that they can interact with anchors), they need to switch their role to "anchor" first.

You can use the role field in TRTCParams during room entry to specify the user role in advance or use the switchRole API to switch roles after room entry.

Parameters:

• role(TRTCRoleType): Role, which is anchor by default.
  • TRTCRoleType.anchor:
    • Can publish audio/video streams.
    • Up to 50 anchors can publish at the same time.
  • TRTCRoleType.audience:
    • Cannot publish streams, can only watch.
    • Needs to switch to "anchor" role to publish.
    • Supports up to 100,000 concurrent audience.

Note

1. This API is only applicable to two scenarios: live streaming (TRTCAppScene.live) and audio chat room (TRTCAppScene.voiceChatRoom).
2. If the scene you specify in enterRoom is TRTCAppScene.videoCall or TRTCAppScene.audioCall, please do not call this API.
