Hey @thanh.huynh

Thanks for your feedback.

On mobile devices, we suggest using the FacingMode as the camera ID. [MobileVideoFacingMode | Zoom Video SDK for Web - 1.5.1](https://marketplacefront.zoom.us/sdk/custom/web/enums/MobileVideoFacingMode.html)

Thanks  
Vic

Hey @thanh.huynh

Yes. That’s right. Also, you can use the exported object `MobileVideoFacingMode.Environment`.

Thanks
