In most cases, if a user subscribes to a stream, they receive both audio and video data. However, in cases where the sender’s camera is turned off, the recipient disables remote video or encounters a network problem, or there is only one user in the room, the user will receive no video data. To reduce your expenses, TRTC bills a period during which a user does not receive video data as audio duration.
Screen sharing data is published as a separate stream. If a user receives a screen sharing stream, the user’s duration will be billed as video duration.
TRTC leverages the capabilities of CSS to relay streams to CDNs. CSS charges you according to the billing rules described in CDN Relayed Live Streaming.
A room with only one user consumes TRTC’s resources, even if no streams are pushed (no upstream data). The only user in a room cannot subscribe to other users’ streams and therefore won’t receive video data. As a result, the duration is billed as audio duration.
