Video Android 4.3.0 - Dominant Speaker Detection API

The Dominant Speaker Detection API sends events to your application every time the dominant speaker changes. You can use those events to improve the end user's experience by, for example, highlighting which participant is talking.

The Dominant Speaker Detection API is only available for Group Rooms. To enable dominant speaker detection, set the ConnectOptions.dominantSpeakerEnabled property to true. Use Room.getDominantSpeaker() to determine the current dominant speaker. Implement Room.Listener.onDominantSpeakerChanged() method to receive callbacks when the dominant speaker changes.

For more information, refer to the API docs and to the dominant speaker tutorial
