@pipecat-ai/react-native-daily-media-manager

A comprehensive media management layer built on Daily’s React Native SDK.

While SmallWebRTCTransport enables lightweight peer-to-peer communication without relying on Daily’s infrastructure, the Daily Media Manager leverages Daily’s mature SDK to deliver enterprise-grade device management and media handling.

Key Features

• Complete Device Management: Full control over cameras, microphones, and speakers with automatic device enumeration and selection
• Device Error Handling: Comprehensive error handling for device permissions, constraints, and availability issues
• Media Control: Enable/disable microphone, camera, and screen sharing with simple API calls
• Track Management: Access to WebRTC media tracks for advanced media processing
• Real-time Updates: Automatic callbacks for device changes and track events
