Voice

The Immerse voice solution implementation varies depending on the platform of your app (e.g. WebGL vs. Android).

For WebGL apps, the voice solution is managed entirely within the browser, requiring no additional setup by the developer.

When launching a WebGL app in the browser, users will be prompted with an audio check before the app is presented to them. During this check, they can select their input device and ensure they can be heard and hear other users.

If you wish to skip this audio check during development, append the parameter skipAudioCheck=true to the URL.

For Android clients, the voice functionality is managed by a plugin that must be included in the build. This plugin is part of the Voice module in the Immerse SDK but requires configuration in your project’s Gradle templates.

Connection to the voice service automatically made immediately after the network connection is created successfully.
