Hey @alberto.belen, thanks for posting and using Zoom!

Your English is good!

The Web SDK currently does not have a way to programmatically activate / deactivate the camera.

We want to make sure the end user has control over their camera for privacy.

Thanks,  
Tommy

Hey Tommy,

Am doing prototype with Zoom Web SDK for one of my project. I noticed currently Video (mute/unmute) is not supporting in Web SDK. Is there any plan for implementing this feature Or is there any other way to (mute/unmute) Video form Web SDK?.

I noticed except Web SDK, IOS and Windows are supporting this feature.

Regards,  
Nanda

Hi, nandakumar…

I’m use this function to mute audio.

ZoomMtg.mute({ mute: false/true });

You can try this function.

Hey @nandakumar,

As of now the Web SDK does not have this feature, but we are working on adding it sometime this year.

Thanks,
