Change the state of a live event
Before starting the event, hosts can change the state to ready by calling the setEventReady() method. This action will allow participants to enter the event and chat among themselves or with the hosts. At this point, the participants can’t receive the media stream of hosts yet.
However, hosts can receive the media stream of other hosts even 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.
