Video processors run at a very low framerate when tab is in background

KaelWD commented 3 years ago

[ ] I have verified that the issue occurs with the latest twilio-video-processors.js release and is not marked as a known issue in the CHANGELOG.md.
[ ] I reviewed the Common Issues and open GitHub issues and verified that this report represents a potentially new issue.
[ ] I am not sharing any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or sensitive account information (API keys, credentials, etc.) when reporting this issue.

Code to reproduce the issue:

Publish a track with the default background blur processor, then switch to another tab in the same window.

Expected behavior:

My video should still be published at the full framerate.

Actual behavior:

Other participants see my video running at <1fps until I focus the video tab again.

Software versions:

Hi @KaelWD , sorry for a late reply. We have a plan to work on this and it will be part of a future release.

Hi @charliesantos, when are we planning for this fix? or if there is any work around that we can do as of now for this?

RaquelRodrigues93 commented 1 year ago

Hi @charliesantos, any updates on this issue? or, like akashmehra99 asked above, any workarounds?

will this be ever implemented? its actually pretty unusable this way

prashantlaheri commented 1 year ago

Will we have any improvements in this area? Because fps drops to 0 and it's pretty bad.

Issue also occurs with twilio-video-processors.js: 2.0.0 and with twilio-video.js: 2.27.0 (latest versions as of today).

Got a reply from Twilio representative that there is no timeline for a fix.
