• Using `stream_bytes`: This method lets you send binary data piece by piece, which is great for more control. Here’s how you can do it:
writer = await room.local_participant.stream_bytes(
name="image.jpg",
topic="images",
mime_type="image/jpeg"
)
await writer.write(image_chunk_1)
await writer.write(image_chunk_2)
await writer.aclose()
On the receiving side, you can set up a byte stream handler that will catch the image and help you process it smoothly. If you’d like, I’m here to help with any part of this or provide more details—just let me know!
