Hello everyone,

There was a problem the DestroyVideoElement method always returns SDKERR\_UNINITIALIZE error

Looked at the code in the zoom\_sdk\_c\_sharp\_wrap project (5.4.54802.0124), I found this implementation:

> virtual SDKError DestroyVideoElement (IVideoRenderElementDotNetWrap ^ ppElement)  
> {  
> return SDKError :: SDKERR\_UNINITIALIZE;  
> }

Is that how it should be? Can’t we use this method?

Thanks!
