🚧 Deprecation notice

Dolby.io Communications SDK for Desktop has been deprecated. For building native desktop applications, we recommend using the vanilla Electron framework with the latest Web Client SDK.

Dolby.io Communications SDK for Desktop

Dolby.io Communications SDK for Desktop is a new platform that allows creating native desktop applications for video conferencing using only JavaScript. The platform includes the Dolby.io Communications SDK for Web 3.3 and the modified Electron open-source framework, which uses the Web SDK for creating desktop applications. The Desktop SDK also supports the Dolby Voice Client codec to provide high audio quality and introduces video filters that allow blurring the participants’ backgrounds or replacing the participants’ backgrounds with selected images.

For more information about the Desktop SDK, see the Desktop SDK document. For more information about building a basic desktop application using the Desktop SDK, see the Getting Started guide.

Note: The Desktop SDK is built using the Electron framework. Electron includes other libraries, notably FFMpeg. The libraries included are licensed separately from the Desktop SDK and acceptance of the Dolby license does not cover these third-party libraries. See the file “Native_Desktop_SDK_Third_Party_Software.html” in the SDK for the licenses covering these libraries.
