I’m working on a App that uses a Video Streaming SDK. [useParticipant Hook | Video SDK](https://docs.videosdk.live/docs/realtime-communication/sdk-reference/react-sdk/use-participant)

I have noticed that calling disableMic and disableWebcam works and turns off the mic and webcam of the other participant when using browsers for testing. However when I try to call enableMic and enableWebcam the other participants Camera and Mic does not turn on. As far as [I](https://www.oemairpurifier.com) can tell I have already allowed the website to access the camera of the system…that’s why it can turn it off…but I don’t know why it doesn’t turn on.

Any ideas how to fix this so that once a participant enters the meeting then we can turn on and off their camera ?

or should I switch to zoom sdk? Does zoom sdk allow this?

Hey @aleenakhan9492,

Thanks for using the dev forum!

I would suggest switching to the Zoom SDK. I am unfamiliar with the SDK you are using.

Thanks!  
Michael
