Live channels and realtime events

TS SDK
1

Hello,

In my use case, I use live channels instead of conversations for group chats. This is because the conversation type lacks the functionalities I need and limits me to only 10 users.

I display a list of channels (both 1-to-1 and group channels) to the user but am encountering two issues:

  1. The live object returned by Client.getUserUnread is not updated with messages from live channels.
  2. ChannelRepository.getChannels does not return newly created live channels that I am a member of, even though it should. When I close and re-establish the connection, the new channels are included in the data response.

Could you please suggest any solutions to these issues?

Hello @jfiejka , Thank you for providing the details of your use case. Please note that live channels do not support an unread count function. We recommend using Community Channels, as they offer enhanced functionality for group chats. For more information, please refer to the documentation here: Community and Private Community Channels.
