Hello, What is the different between rendering self video in a canvas and in a video element? While using canvas, sometimes it take long time to display myself on the screen Can I just force the browser to use video element to display myself? Thanks! ---

Hey @thanh.huynh Thanks for your feedback. The condition of using the video element for self video is `stream.isSupportMultipleVideos()` return false and `typeof window.OffscreenCanvas ==='function'` return true, or the platform is Android browser. Otherwise, cannot force the Video SDK Web to render video in the video element. Thanks Vic ---
