**Description**  
Cannot render self video in Chrome in app Angular 12.  
I DO NOT have SharedArrayBuffer activated via trials. But accroding to your guide I still should be able to see **video of myself** :  
Quote from [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/overview/improve-performance/:](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/overview/improve-performance/:)  
" If the value is `false` , SharedArrayBuffer is not enabled, meaning only self and speaker view will be available in the Meeting SDK. In the Video SDK you will only have the ability to **render self video** and a single video stream."

**Browser Console Error**  
No error in console.

**Which Web Video SDK version?**  
“@zoom1234/videosdk”: “^1.1.6”

**Video SDK Code Snippets**

```auto
this.mediaStream
                .startVideo()
                .then(async (result) => {
                    await this.mediaStream.renderVideo(
                        this.videoCanvas,
                        userID,
                        this.videoCanvas.clientWidth,
                        this.videoCanvas.clientHeight,

Hey @ol_mas

Thanks for your feedback.

Please use **Video Element** to present the self video. If you are familiar with react, you can refer to our [sample app](https://github.com/zoom/sample-app-videosdk/blob/master/react-demo/src/feature/video/video-single.tsx#L176).

Thanks  
Vic
