[FEATURE-REQUEST] setUserData for fake participants #198

Open zukilover opened 1 year ago

zukilover commented 1 year ago

Feature request

Although setuserData is meant to work only for local participant, it would be beneficial to add the capability to fake participants. This feature request will allow a host to set specific fake participants' data dynamically.

Why you need this

In our prototype app, we are trying to create fake participants that behave as closely as possible to real participants.

Hi! Thank you for this request. To clarify, when you say you are using fake participants, are you using this API? In general, the fake participant API is fairly limited and it's usually better to test with actual duplicate clients.

For your specific use case, I recommend reaching out to help@daily.co so that we can give you more specific help. There may be other ways to do what you are doing.
