Does laravel echo support mediastream data? I'm trying to send a video stream to laravel echo but it returns empty {}. Below is the real stream data if I console log it.

let channel = Echo.join(`consultation`)

.listenForWhisper('connectNewUserEvent',(e)=>{

    console.log(e) //got empty

})



var myPeer = new Peer();

myPeer.on('open', function(peer_id) {

    navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({

        video:true,

        audio:true

    }).then(stream=>{



        addVideoStream(myVideo,stream)

        myPeer.on('call', call => {

            call.answer(stream)

            const video = document.createElement('video')

            call.on('stream', userVideoStream => {

            addVideoStream(video, userVideoStream)

            })

        })

        channel.whisper('connectNewUserEvent',stream)

        console.log(stream) //returning stream

    })

});

My Answer:
No, Laravel Echo does not support media stream data directly. Laravel Echo is primarily used for real-time broadcasting of events and messages between the server and client using websockets. If you need to send video stream data, you may need to use a different approach such as using a dedicated media streaming server or service, and then sending the necessary information or events through Laravel Echo to notify clients about the stream.
