Question: Maximum videotiles and how to release them

Hi all,

I’m breaking my head here and came pretty far with the documentation which is pretty good and clear but I have have one issue I can’t figure out.

Example:

• I have a meeting with 20 people, they all join and are capable of showing video.
• I have a roster of 9 people, only the 9 most active speakers are shown (or by default the first 9 who join the meeting). I don’t care if the show/have video or not
• Because 20 people with video join I have a maximum of 16 videotiles am I right?

The problem I currently have is that all available videotiles are filled by the first 16 people who join. How can I make sure that attendee number 20 gets a spot when he starts talking?

I already tried using videoTileController.removeVideoTile to free a spot. But how can I make sure attendee number 20’s videotile is added?

Just to add you can also come via the AWS support channel to discuss your app specific use case.

@nicklera1 I use that observer now 👌

@vidya-mohan the messaging approach seems to be working in a test setup, will need to check how it works in real life.
