Description

Non-negative integer

MUST NOT exist for audio (this is video only).

Count the total number of video pauses experienced by this receiver. Video is considered to be paused if time passed since last rendered frame exceeds 5 seconds. pauseCount is incremented when a frame is rendered after such a pause.

The number of times the video paused for the viewer for more than 5 seconds. We want this value to be as low as possible.

Notes

  • Video pauses longer than 5 seconds are awful. Having a few of these in a call means there are real issues to deal with
