HI @tommy , Nope, No error, Just video is not displayed on canvas

Situation is ,  
1) If one stream for one user is attached to 1 canvas → works  
2) If i try to attach the same stream for the same user in a different part of the app → Fails (No video)

Gotcha, thanks @arunkumar.mohan .

Have you tried stopping the video before re attaching to the other canvas?

`await stream.stopRenderVideo(canvas,userId);`
