I can send raw frames through ACS to Teams meeting with Android sdk (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/communication-services/quickstarts/voice-video-calling/get-started-raw-media-access).
I saw in the roadmap that the version for Windows UWP is in private preview.
Is there a plan to do the same thing with iOS?

Hi @antpass79,

We are looking into this feature, but we don't currently have a timeline for this.

I'll check with product if we can provide a more accurate timeline soon. If you could share details about your use-case that would be great, so we can document it on our side as part of feature request.

Thanks,
Marius

Hi @mariusu-msft,
my company needs to create a mobile app to send custom frames (a mjpeg video) through ACS in a Teams meeting, after creating a new meeting or joining with an extisting one.

We can do it developing an Android app and following the instruction here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/communication-services/quickstarts/voice-video-calling/get-started-raw-media-access
We created an outbound virtual video device and use the SendFrame API.

For iOS there aren't these features and we don't have the possibility to develop an iOS app.
In the section "Voice and video calling" of Microsoft Docs, all features exist for both systems (add voice, add video, join in a meeting...), the only one that misses for iOS is "Raw media access".

I hope I have been clear enough in my explanation. If you need more details just tell me!

Thank you,
Antonio

Hi @mariusu-msft ,
do you have some news about the feature (send raw data through ACS on IOS)?
even just a vague idea of ​​the date in public preview (this year or the next one) is enough.

thank you,
Antonio
