toggleVideo not working as I expected?

[WebinarKit]

Hi there, I'm working with the javascript sdk and trying to use the toggleVideo function. I'm just trying to toggle on/off the video from the publisher side (whenever the user wants to mute their camera).

I call toggleVideo with the publisher stream id, track id (also set to the publisher stream id as per documentation), and enabled set to false. But nothing changes? The video still comes through on the subscriber side?

What am I missing?

Thanks

Hi @WebinarKit

• turnOffLocalCamera
• turnOnLocalCamera

Try using these methods and let me know if it works for you.

@rahul7827Thanks for the response.

@WebinarKit
As Rahul mentioned, you can use turnOffLocalCamera and turnOnLocalCamera methods. You can find it on:

Hi, I'm aware of these methods but their behavior is not exactly what I'm looking for. For example, if the user is sharing their screen, turnOnLocalCamera/turnOffLocalCamera will not result in the behavior I want (toggling the screen share).

Is there not a way to do this? I'm confused as to what the toggleVideo method is supposed to do?

Hi @WebinarKit,

Toggle video function is working only conference solutions and we don't have an alternative way right now. You need a function to turn on/off video independent from source, I think. Could you please create an issue on GitHub, then we will develop the function that you need. https://github.com/ant-media/Ant-Media-Server/issues
