Join conference room without starting video?

[Javier Derderyan]

Hi,

I'm doing my first steps with ant-media and I'm playing with the conference app.

I'm trying to build a "one to many" app that will allow other participants to join with video at some point.

But so far I see that if I want a user to publish at some point of the call, the camera is enabled by default. And if the user joins as isPlayMode, I can't make it publish later.

Is there a way to join with "isPlayMode:false" but don't start the localvideo?

That way all users can join with the ability to publish, but it won't start they camera on join.

Regards,

Javier

We created an issue about this. You can track the issue here : https://github.com/ant-media/Ant-Media-Server/issues/2489

As a workaround solution:

Add second webRTCAdaptor which should not have ability to play and should not join to the room. First WebRTCAdaptor will play and join. And when you click to the publish button, second webRTCadaptor would publish.

Hi,

Thanks, sounds like a plan. I'm thinking this won't cut the videos already playing, because we're adding a new one. And no video should play from the 2nd adapter.

Thanks for creating the issue in GH too!
