In August 2025, delivered a foundational Video Protocol Extension for TEN Framework, enabling future integrations with external video services. Implemented session management, audio/video processing setup, and WebSocket-based real-time communication, laying groundwork for scalable multimedia support. Added configuration capabilities for GenericVideoExtension (avatar ID, quality, version, encoding) and introduced configuration logging, improving visibility and maintainability. Enhanced robustness with improved audio queue interruption handling. The work is centralized in TEN-framework/ten-framework and aligns with strategic goals for extensible media features and partner integrations.
