SendSdpAnswer

Sends the answer to the target recipient. The prerequisite is that the client must be already connected to the WebSocket endpoint obtained from the GetSignalingChannelEndpoint API.

If the sender type is a viewer, then it sends the answer to a master. Also, it is not necessary to specify the RecipientClientId and any specified value for RecipientClientId is ignored. If the sender type is master, the answer is sent to the target viewer specified by the RecipientClientId. RecipientClientId is a required input in this case.

A master client app is allowed to send an answer to any viewer, whereas a viewer client app is only allowed to send an answer to a master client app. If a viewer client app attempts to send an answer to another viewer client app, the request will NOT be honored. If there is an outstanding answer for the same client which is not yet delivered, it is overwritten with the new answer.

No response is returned if the message is successfully received by the signaling backend. If the service encounters an error and if the correlationId is specified in the request, the error details are returned as a STATUS_RESPONSE message. For more information, see Asynchronous message reception.

Errors

Limits/Throttling

This API is throttled at an account level if the API is invoked at too high a rate. An error is returned when throttled with ClientLimitExceededException.

Idempotent

This API is not idempotent.

Retry behavior

This is counted as a new API call.

Concurrent calls

Concurrent calls are allowed. An offer is sent once per each call.
