With so much explosive growth around real-time engagement, we know that many of you are thinking about how you can further enhance the game experience for your gamers through the use of real-time engagement features. Today, we published two SDKs inside the Unity asset store — Agora’s Voice SDK for Unity and Agora’s Video SDK for Unity. Both provide Unity developers easy to use SDKs that deliver real-time voice and video chat. 

The Agora SDKs for Unity

The Agora Video SDK for Unity and Agora Voice SDK for Unity enable you to add in-game real-time communications to increase interactivity between players with minimum impact on the gameplay. The SDKs include the following features

● Extremely low latency audio and video communication: Sub-second low latency audio and video communication inside your game.

● High-quality audio: Agora’s in-house audio codec and our 3A (Automatic Echo Cancellation, Automatic Gain Control, Automatic Noise Suppressor) algorithms deliver superior quality audio and eliminate unwanted disruptions.

● Spatial sound effects: Spatial sound effects to add a sense of reality & depth to the sounds of your game.

● Voice change: Add more fun to your game by enabling voice changing through pitch, reverb, and equalizer. Anti-packet loss: powered by Agora’s SD-RTN ™, the SDKs are able to maintain a smooth call experience even when experiencing up to 70% packet loss rate.
