This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough for Android developers on how to implement active speaker highlighting in their video apps using VideoSDK. The feature is particularly beneficial in large meetings or webinars where numerous participants are present, making it difficult to identify who is speaking at which time. By integrating the active speaker indication, developers can improve user experience on large group calls, encouraging more participation and better engagement.
The guide covers essential steps for building video calling functionality, including generating a meeting ID, initializing the meeting, handling local participant media, and managing participants' views using RecyclerView. It also provides detailed instructions on integrating active speaker highlighting by capturing the onSpeakerChanged event and visually indicating the corresponding participant in the application's user interface.
