Amazon Chime SDK Meeting status is MeetingStatus.Left when entering a room

Question

I'm implementing a meeting app that uses Amazon's Chime SKD React. Here is the link of the library. I successfully implemented a meeting, and it works well. However, there is a small issue which with which I'm not satisfied.

There are several meeting statuses that Chime provides.

Here is the enum of the meeting status:

enum MeetingStatus {
  Loading,
  Succeeded,
  Failed,
  Ended,
  JoinedFromAnotherDevice,
  Left,
  TerminalFailure
}

These statuses are managed by the useMeetingStatus hook from the SDK itself. I think the statuses are pretty much self explanatory.

You enter a meeting, you get the MeetingStatus.Succeeded status. You leave the meeting you get the MeetingStatus.Left status.

And here is the problem:

Once you leave a meeting and try to enter a new one, you get for a moment MeetingStatus.Left status, and then you get the initial meeting status which should be MeetingStatus.Loading.

So my question is, is there a way to reset the meeting status after the user leaves a meeting with the meetingManager.leave() method?

I also noticed after leaving a meeting and hard reloading the app (page), this doesn't happen, which for me means, there is some state that should be reset after leaving a meeting.

Answer 1

There is a <MeetingProvider> component which wraps the the meeting app. This meeting provider holds all data in the useMeetingManager hook. The solution was to re render the <MeetingProvider> which I did by wrapping the router component with it. Once the user leaves the meeting, the app redirects the user to other page and the <MeetingProvider> re renders.

Or, there is also a solution to instantiate a new meetingManager object like this:

const meetingManager = new MeetingManager(new ConsoleLogger('LoggerName'));

and then you pass the meetingManager to the <MeetingProvider> like this:

 <MeetingProvider meetingManager={meetingManager}>
      <MyApp1 />
 </MeetingProvider>
