Agora Android SDK adds simultaneous multi-channel joining
Agora has released a new capability in its Android SDK that allows users to join and manage multiple channels simultaneously. This feature enables publishing a stream to one channel while concurrently viewing multiple other channels, improving multi-channel engagement for developers.
Key Takeaways
- Agora’s Android SDK can now join and manage multiple channels simultaneously.
- A user can publish a stream to one channel while viewing many other channels at the same time.
- The feature is positioned for developers building multi-channel engagement flows on Android.
- The change comes from Agora, the video streaming platform company behind the Agora Android SDK.
Why It Matters
For Android developers, this reduces the need to build separate client flows for publishing and monitoring multiple live channels, because Agora now supports both in one SDK path. The practical impact is on multi-room and multi-stream experiences, where a single user can stay in one publishing channel while watching several others. In Agora’s broader product stack, this is a platform capability rather than an app-level feature, so it expands what developers can build without changing providers. The next signal to watch is whether Agora adds similar multi-channel support beyond Android.
