**Meeting SDK Type and Version**  
Zoom Meeting SDK for Android, integration by custom Native module running with React Native.  
(zoom-sdk-android-6.3.6.27190 and React Native 0.74.5)  
We used MobileRTCVideoView to render Zoom View on React Native side.

**Description**  
Currently, we want to implement a feature that the application will alert the user when their Camera/ or Microphone (our main target user is using Android TV devices which does not have built-in Cam/Mic so they’ll have to use external devices via USB or Bluetooth).

How can we achieve this? We’ve tried using the InMeetingAudioController and InMeetingVideoController methods like [canUnmuteMyAudio](https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-android/us/zoom/sdk/InMeetingAudioController.html#canUnmuteMyAudio--)() and [canUnmuteMyVideo](https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-android/us/zoom/sdk/InMeetingVideoController.html#canUnmuteMyVideo--)() but they have false report (return true always) when we try to unplug the camera or microphone and get the status.

When we try to unmute mic/or video when they plugged out, the SDK return SDKERR\_INTERNAL\_ERROR. But when we plug them in, we still received the same error.

The SDKERR\_INTERNAL\_ERROR issue only fixed by restarting the app completely (force close and open again)

The flow will be like this:

Plugged in camera/microphone → Join Zoom Meeting → Within call, plugged out devices → Try mute or unmute video/audio → Zoom throw SDKERR\_INTERNAL\_ERROR error

Then:  
Leave Zoom call → plug in camera/microphone → join meeting again → camera/mic failed to start.

Do we have any way for the SDK to handle the above issue?

Dear HM Admin,

Please check `[getCameraDeviceList](https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-android/us/zoom/sdk/InMeetingVideoController.html#getCameraDeviceList--)` in `InMeetingVideoController`.

Thank you for your patience,  
Richard
