Frame Capture (HMSVideoPlugin)

Introduction

You can use Camera Frame Capture Plugin to capture the current frame from the local camera in high quality.

Minimum Requirements

• SDK version 0.5.1

How to capture current camera frame in high quality

1. Create an HMSVideoPlugin array

     var videoPlugins = [HMSVideoPlugin]()

2. Create an instance of HMSFrameCapturePlugin and activate it. Then append it to videoPlugins array, like below

     let frameCapturePlugin = HMSFrameCapturePlugin()
     frameCapturePlugin.activate()
     videoPlugins.append(frameCapturePlugin)

3. Next, assign videoPlugins array to videoPlugins property of videoSettingsBuilder:

let hmsSDK = HMSSDK.build { sdk in

     sdk.trackSettings = HMSTrackSettings.build { videoSettingsBuilder, audioSettingsBuilder in
          videoSettingsBuilder.videoPlugins = videoPlugins
          ...
     }
}

That is all the setup you need to do. Now, you can call capture method on your frameCapturePlugin instance to get the current camera frame as a UIImage:

     if let image = frameCapturePlugin.capture() {
        // show/upload/process the uiimage
     }
