Currently when an admin sets up a communication channel, it's not possible to have all users join with their audio muted.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add a shortcode autoMtue that will allow admin users to set whether all users join muted or not.
I am still struggling with this problem from January.
You previously mentioned:
In the image if you take a look at the people icon in the upper left of the Agora window, you'll notice that the number 2 next to the icon, this means two users are in the channel that are set up to broadcast streams, and in this case the local user has their video muted or disabled.
The number is (1) until a guest joins, but then it becomes (2). As this is supposed to be a broadcast rather than a communication I am not sure why this is happening?
The guest doesn't have any wordpress credentials, so why would this occur?
setup a WordPress install and install the plugin for testing.
make sure ftp is enabled

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently when a user joins a channel they are prompted with camera permissions. In some instances the user may deny camera/mic permissions. This causes the stream init to fail. The user is still added to the RTM channel so the other users can see a user in the channel but there is no video/audio added to the channel. This gives off the impression that there is an error with the video chat even though it is human error causing the issue.
Describe the solution you'd like
Can there be a message on the screen to alert the user that their video and audio are not visible because they did not give permission. Can there be a prompt for the user to enable their camera/mic permissions?
Also need to show a message to remote users that Guest/"XXX" user has joined the channel without their video/audio enabled.

When trying to screen share in Safari it fails with error that screen share was not started from user interaction.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior
Screen share is triggered on click so the user should be able to share the screen.
Additional context
This error is thrown because the stream is created and initialized within a callback, so the user interaction property is not propagated as part of the init causing the failure.

Currently the plugin doesn't support restricting channel access. Whether it is limiting access to specific users, or password protecting channels.
Describe the solution you'd like
WordPress's user management features could be used to restrict channel access to specific users.
Along with WordPress user management, it would be good to allow admin's to set passwords on channels, that a user would need to enter to be able to join a channel.
This could be either a shortcode or a channel setting.
Additional context
Agora SDK supports password protected channels
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Within the communication mode there is the ability for many users to join a channel and broadcast audio and video into the channel. There is occasion where this could become disruptive to the group communication.
Describe the solution you'd like
There should be a feature to allow users to mute each other, both audio and video.
Additional context
The feature should be enabled/disabled by the admin as a channel setting or shortcode setting.
Similar to broadcast mode, add mic and video selection controls to Communication mode
When you include POST/GET/REQUEST/FILE calls in your plugin, it's important to sanitize, validate, and escape them. The goal here is to prevent a user from accidentally sending trash data through the system, as well as protecting them from potential security issues.
SANITIZE: Data that is input (either by a user or automatically) must be sanitized. This lessens the possibility of XSS vulnerabilities and MITM attacks where posted data is subverted.
VALIDATE: All data should be validated as much as possible. Even when you sanitize, remember that you don’t want someone putting in ‘dog’ when the only valid values are numbers.
ESCAPE: Data that is output must be escaped properly, so it can't hijack admin screens. There are many esc_*() functions you can use to make sure you don't show people the wrong data.
To help you with this, WordPress comes with a number of sanitization and escaping functions. You can read about those here:
https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/security/securing-input/
https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/security/securing-output/
Remember: You must use the most appropriate functions for the context. If you’re sanitizing email, use sanitize_email(), if you’re outputting HTML, use esc_html(), and so on.
Clean everything, check everything, escape everything, and never trust the users to always have input sane data.
Example(s) from your plugin:
Agora-Word-Press/public/class-wp-agora-io-public.php:84: $cid = $_POST['cid'];
Agora-Word-Press/admin/class-wp-agora-io-admin.php:246: ? (array) $_REQUEST['channel']
Agora-Word-Press/admin/class-wp-agora-io-admin.php:247: : (array) $_POST['post_ID'];
Since the Agora WP Plugin will have the Token generation functionality built in we need to change the Token Server Settings on the Settings page to be a "Certificate" instead of "Server URL"
Currently when creating a new channel it does not save the channel.
to give users some context as to how to use RTMP push/pull, we need to have a short description within the modal window (below the url input field).
Please leave some room for use to add a few lines of text and possibly some links.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a section in the channel settings to allow admin users to modify the default settings for the recording config.
Within the admin dashboard when creating a channel there are two sections with settings, one set for Push to External Streams and one set for Inject External Streams.
Each fo these settings section needs to have a description to ensure WP users understand the difference and how/when to use each.

Desktop (please complete the following information):
I am running the webserver via AWS Lightsail on a bitnami Wordpress instance
Everything else appears to work just fine.
Describe the bug
This note came from BigStep who has been working with us to extend the plugin after they troubleshooted the root cause:
"The issue is coming when there is an interruption in the internet connection, i.e., if the user's internet connection is affected then the peer leaves, in the plugin the div is not getting closed. This issue is in the core plugin."
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Several hosts can connect to a broadcast. When one of them drops (or internet disconnects), the black rectange keeps hanging and sometimes when the host reconnects, they are hidden behind the black rectangle and a tiny bit visible underneath.
For example 3 hosts, A, B, C - If C gets disconnected and reconnects, then there are 4 videos, with one black rectangle where C used to be and the new C video. If it happens again to C, then there are 5 videos with two black rectangles, and it goes on and on.
Expected behavior
When a host leaves, only the remaining hosts should remain on the screen. Not a black rectangle where the host was before they left or were abruptly disconnected.
Screenshots
See attached screenshots
Desktop (please complete the following information):
When pushing to an external CDN, the CDN will provide an RTMP url along with the private key. These values are used within Agora as a single string. To ensure the user setups up the structure correctly we should have two inout fields, once for the URL and then one for the Key.
Then under the hood, we can concat the two to make sure its in the proper format for the Agora SDK.

Currently the plugin supports up to 17 users within a single channel (communication/broadcast) but the current UI templates are not visually appealing and do not scale well.
Describe the solution you'd like
We need to implement UI templates that scale from 1 to 17 broadcasters in both broadcasting and communication channels.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently a developer has to create their own UI templates.

Add Record button between camera button and end-call button.
Only users to view record button are:
Broadcast- host only
Communication - any user with role of writer or above... subscriber and non registered users will not see record button
Describe the bug
This is a critical issue. After updating to the latest version, Agora not longer works from a mobile device. All the buttons are not clickable and the video/audio doesn't work. It works well when viewing from a laptop, but can no longer connect from a mobile device. I tried rolling back . The dropdown for the audio and video devices no longer work as well.
This is a critical issue as we're going live tomorrow.

The number top left changes from 1 to 2.
The page now shows my broadcast plus an extra space?
As the only broadcaster, the only thing that should be shown in my broadcast?
Describe the bug
Hi there,
I know one of the workarounds Agora added for the audio issues is to display a grey mute icon on the video and then users have to tap on the video to unmute in their browsers (mostly a Safari issue).
Can you please point us to where in the code this icon is being displayed? We would like to change it so it's more visible (red background, etc) as well as add the following text - "TAP TO UNMUTE" - so it is clearly legible and visible for the user.
Please advise.
Thanks
Lola
WordPress comes with an extensive HTTP API that should be used instead of creating your own curl calls. It’s both faster and more extensive. It’ll fall back to curl if it has to, but it’ll use a lot of WordPress’ native functionality first.

Example(s) from your plugin:
Agora-Word-Press/includes/class-wp-agora-cloud-recording.php:229: $result = curl_exec($ch);

Describe the bug
When a mobile phone is turned horizontally, the chat window still keeps getting cut off. We've tried to fix this with CSS but to no avail. The other issue is that the Chat window is duplicating messages that are being typed.

The Chat window shouldn't be cut off and should only display messages once.

To simplify the process to use the plugin for WP Users, this plugin will embed its own Token Server.
This Token Server should be implemented based on the Agora SDK Docs:
https://docs.agora.io/en/Audio%20Broadcast/token_server_php?platform=PHP
This plugin should expose the Token Server URL directly from the plugin.
This embebed server will help users to avoid the creation of custom token server and they will only need to setup the certificate ID from Agora on the WP Settings.

Describe the bug
If a host drops off the session and reconnects, sometimes they may not hear the other host even though they see each other. We need to turn "sometimes" to "always" hearing. This is a huge problem.
If the host drops off (for example, Internet gets disconnected), then all the viewers get a "Livestream ended" message and may leave. But if they refresh their screen, then they would see the host again, once reconnected.
#1 is mission-critical because once fixed, it can be a temporary workaround for #2 where there is always one connected host.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Host 1
Username: -
Password: -
Host 2
Username: -
Password: -
Expected behavior
The audio has to work always. Also, when the host disconnects by mistake, is there anything or anyway to bring them back into the session without it ending the stream for everyone?

Additional context
This is quite urgent as we are planning a broadcast to hundreds of people in 10 days!
All plugins must have unique function names, namespaces, defines, and classnames. This prevents your plugin from conflicting with other plugins or themes. We need you to update your plugin to use more unique and distinct names.
A good way to do this is with a prefix. For example, if your plugin is called "Easy Custom Post Types" then you could use names like these:
function ecpt_save_post()
define( ‘ECPT_LICENSE’, true );
class ECPT_Admin{}
namespace EasyCustomPostTypes;
Don't try to use two letter slugs anymore. We host nearly 100-thousand plugins on WordPress.org alone. There are tens of thousands more outside our servers. Believe us, you’re going to run into conflicts.
You also need to avoid the use of __ (double underscores), wp_ , or _ (single underscore) as a prefix. Those are reserved for WordPress itself. You can use them inside your classes, but not as stand-alone function.
Related to this, using if (!function_exists(‘NAME ‘)) { around all your functions and classes sounds like a great idea until you realize the fatal flaw. If someone else has a function with the same name and their plugin or theme loads first, your plugin breaks. Using if-exists should be reserved for shared libraries only.
Remember: Good prefix names are unique and distinct to your plugin. This will help you and the next person in debugging, as well as prevent conflicts.
Example(s) from your plugin:
Agora-Word-Press/includes/class-wp-agora-cloud-recording.php:12:define('MIN_RAND_VALUE', 10000000);
Agora-Word-Press/includes/class-wp-agora-cloud-recording.php:13:define('MAX_RAND_VALUE', 4294967295);
