Jona Dimovska contributed to GetStream/stream-video-js by delivering a range of front-end and video processing features over five months. She modernized form handling by replacing external libraries with native React logic, upgraded dependencies for compatibility, and enhanced video call reliability through MediaPipe-based virtual backgrounds and improved noise cancellation. Using TypeScript and React, Jona implemented UI improvements such as drag-to-scroll participant lists, collapsible QR panels, and dynamic layouts, while also extending call statistics with audio metrics for better troubleshooting. Her work addressed race conditions, deployment stability, and accessibility, reflecting a thoughtful approach to maintainability and user experience across complex real-time video workflows.

February 2026 monthly summary for GetStream/stream-video-js. Focused on reliability and UX improvements in the React SDK and livestream UI. Delivered two targeted changes with clear business value: improved audio constraint handling for speaking-while-muted detection and browser-capability guarded fullscreen UI. These changes reduce errors across devices, improve livestream stability, and enhance user experience.

December 2025 — GetStream/stream-video-js Key features delivered: - Video processing enhancements: improved performance by preventing frame exhaustion in fallback MediaStreamTrackProcessor; added UI feedback with a loading progress bar for video filter initialization. - Enhanced Call Stats with Audio Metrics: extended the statistics reporter with audio metrics (latency, jitter, packet loss, bitrate, and codec information) for both publisher and subscriber, enabling faster troubleshooting and QoS visibility. - Video call moderation features: automatic full-screen blur during moderation events and a moderation warnings notification system, improving compliance and user experience during sensitive interactions. - UI/UX and layout improvements: PiP grid layout with pagination; drag-to-scroll for the participants list; collapsible QR code panel in the participants UI for a cleaner interface. - Framework modernization: upgrade to Next.js 16 and integration of React Compiler tooling, including a compatibility codemod to reduce migration friction. - Reliability and deployment stability: exponential backoff retry for reconnect (rewatch) and Vercel CLI version pinning to prevent deployment regressions (with a controlled revert path). Major bugs fixed: - fix(react): Prevent frame exhaustion in fallback MediaStreamTrackProcessor (#2019). - fix(react): Pin vercel cli version to prevent deployment regressions (#2049) (and subsequent revert (#2053)). Overall impact and accomplishments: - Significantly improved runtime performance and user experience in video processing and moderation workflows, enhanced observability with audio metrics, and reduced outage risk through retry logic and deployment safeguards. - Accelerated development velocity through modernization (Next.js 16, React Compiler) and codemod tooling, setting the stage for faster feature delivery and easier maintenance. - The product now provides deeper QoS insights, more robust call reliability, and a cleaner, more scalable UI across PiP and participant experiences. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Next.js 16, React Compiler - MediaStreamTrackProcessor, WebRTC CallStats and QoS instrumentation - UI/UX design for PiP, QR panel, and participant list interactions - Code modernization: codemods for compatibility - Deployment automation and reliability practices (Vercel CLI pinning, exponential backoff)
