Hello everyone, I’m using mediasoup in an Express project to build a video conferencing application. However, I’m facing an intermittent issue where a peer joins the room but cannot see/hear others (video/audio streams from other peers are not displayed). The issue is resolved when the peer refresh…

Thanks for your suggestion! While I agree that the browser’s autoplay policy can often be the cause of problems like this, I don’t think it’s the primary cause in my case. Here’s why: Random Occurrence: The problem occurs randomly, even with peers who are familiar with the application and have alre…

There must be necessarily something wrong in your server or client code and perhaps transports or consumers creation is not robust and fails randomly. I cannot guess why. But I guarantee it’s not a bug in mediasoup libraries.

Your logs look great it’s doing what’s intended. Users will close connection and a receiver may request further update; no concerns in the logs. Your code/logic would be the culprit, nothing more. :slight_smile:

Do you have any other suggestion ? Could this be due to an underpowered server?

Nop, it’s not the same. Here people are in the room but can not see/hear other peers.

Acknowledged. Have you looked into the client side log if there are any helpful information there? You could paste a good potion of it here. For this you would need to enable client side logging mediasoup-client v3 Debugging .
