Hi innovate,

Thanks for using Zoom SDK. Do you mean you would like to ask the user for the camera permission after pressing your custom button?

In our iOS SDK, we do not have a method for requesting camera permission individually. As long as you have set up the camera permission description in the info.plist file, you should be fine with the camera permission. Once the meeting starts, and the video is triggered, if our SDK detects that the camera is not on and not yet being asked for a permission, our SDK will ask the user for the permission.

If you would like to ask for camera permission before the meeting, then you can do it without our SDK, the following links could be helpful:

Thank you reply

it is not difficult to request camera permission to iOS like info.plist

it is “request camera control” when open “Participants” in Zoom Meeting like the follow photo

When My custom UIButton is clicked, i want to request camera control with the other user id by ios sdk api

Hi,

Thanks for the reply and the clarification. What kind of camera control are you looking for?

We have an interface to ask/request the participant/user to start video/camera:

askUserStartVideo

We also have an interface to stop the participant/user’s camera:

stopUserVideo

We have a bunch of options that controls the videos/cameras, you can find more info here: https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-ios/category_mobile_r_t_c_meeting_service_07_video_08.html#aab328693e8dfba7af5071fe19af035f0

Hope this helps. Thanks!
