RTCMultiConnection.updateExtraData

This method allows you send your extra-data to nodejs so that it can be shared with all connected users

Share extra information among all participants using connection.extra object.

"updateExtraData" allows you update extra information any time, during live session.

onExtraDataUpdated is fired for all participants as soon as someone updates extra information.

Usage

connection.extra.modifiedValue = 'new value';
connection.updateExtraData();

connection.onExtraDataUpdated = function(event) {
    var modifiedValue = event.extra.modifiedValue;
    var whoModified = event.userid; // or event.extra.fullName
};
