PolyOS API Overview

The PolyOS Java API lets you build a video conferencing app on the Poly OS Android platform while taking advantage of the powerful audio and video functionality of the Poly hardware platform.

PolyOS leverages Android Media APIs where possible and adds a library of PolyOS APIs that can be used to control Poly audio and video features of the platform.

• To open audio, camera, or display media streams, use the standard Android media APIs such as AudioManager, MediaPlayer, AudioRecord, Camera2, and Surfaces.

NOTE: Only Camera2 is supported. Camera is not supported.

• To control non-Android functions such as camera control functions (like PTZ) or Poly microphone mute, use the PolyOS API. For a complete list of PolyOS functions, see the PolyOS API Reference.
• Use the PolyOS API for hardware-specific settings and system control.
• If a PolyOS API exists that has the same function as an Android API, choose the PolyOS API.
