Announcing the Vonage Video Client SDK Version 2.20

The Vonage Video API team has released a new version of the Vonage Video Client SDK, v2.20 (formerly TokBox OpenTok), which includes several new features to improve video sharing quality and moderation capabilities. The `contentHint` feature provides an additional level of improvement to video and screen sharing quality by helping the encoder prioritize either high frame rate for motion-rich content or high image quality to emphasize details. This feature is available for Web and coming soon to Native SDKs, allowing developers to direct the browser to use one of several encoding methods to better tailor rendering for the type of content. Additionally, the team has introduced a new moderation capability called `forceMuteAll` which allows hosts to mute all publishers in a session, as well as support for the Unified Plan and Plan B session discovery protocols, which will be phased out by Google in August 2021. The new features are now available to Vonage Video API customers running on the Standard Environment, with plans to release them to the Enterprise Environment in the coming weeks.
