The Session object represents a single RTC communication session.
There are two varieties of Session object: Session and Session2.
Session Object
The Session object was introduced in RTC 1.0 and is accessed using the IRTCSession interface. This interface does the following:
- Represents the entity that can create or receive audio calls and text messaging sessions
- Provides session information such as state, media types, and participant information
To create a Session object, use IRTCClient::CreateSession.
For a code example that shows how to create and use a Session object, see Create a Session and Make a Call.
Session2 Object
The RTC Session2 object is part of RTC 1.2 and is accessed using the IRTCSession2 interface. This interface provides additional methods that enable users to do the following:
- Specify security levels for the session
- Manage a session with an application-defined session description
To create a Session2 object, call IUnknown::QueryInterface on an IRTCSession reference.
For more information about session negotiations using the Session2 object, see the Session Negotiation information at this Microsoft Web site.
