Change the state of a live event
Before starting an event, hosts can change the event state to ready
by calling the setEventReady()
method. This action allows participants to enter the event and chat among themselves or with the host. At this point, the participants can't receive the host's media streaming yet. However, hosts can receive the media stream of other hosts when the live event is in ready state. This allows them to discuss with one another and check for stable internet connection before the live event begins.
