Hi,

sometimes I see that it takes the session a lot of time to load from the point that I subscribe to stream and I see the 'Loading' icon in the middle of the video - most cases in slow connections.
I want to count the chat time, but I want it to start only from the time that I see the remote camera.

Is there a way to get a trigger not for when we connect to a session, but rather from the time that the 'loading' has completed?

Thanks,
Gil.

Unfortunately, we don't have a callback you can use to determine when it stops showing the loading screen.

You can try doing this:
Subscribe like normal. However, have the video displayed OFF the screen (1x1 pixel in -1, -1 coordinates). Have the audio set to mute. Wait 10 seconds to make sure the loading bar is gone. Then put the video on the page, un-mute the audio, and start keeping track of time. You can then determine when the user starts actually seeing the video. Basically start timing them 10 seconds after they subscribe. You can put a little loading bar yourself that goes away after 10 seconds.

Hi,

I already have such a scree, since I'm waiting for at least 2 people to connect. I'll just stay additional 10 seconds.
Isn't 10 seconds quite a lot? Does it really depend on the internet speed?

FYI - There is a bug that I published in the bugs forum, sometimes the "loading" doesn't disappear at all.. (or at least for a few mins).
This solution is really valid only if that bug won't appear.

Cheers,
Gil.

It does depend on the internet speed. Has the bug you mentioned in the other thread appeared since then?
