Version 11 of API

&nbsp;

Try unmuting the video of the host. &nbsp;It doesn’t work. &nbsp;Whereas if I send the participant ID of an audio mute on the host it works.&nbsp; I think the API is not allowing video mute like audio mute of the host.&nbsp; I can code something to send the video request like that of video mute on the larger buttons on the home screen if you dont want to support it.&nbsp; But I thought it weird that if audiomute works on the host, then it should work for video mute.&nbsp;&nbsp;

That is correct. For muting/unmuting the video or audio of the host, use zConfiguration Call instead:

To mute the host’s video:  
zConfiguration Call Camera Mute: on

To mute the host’s audio:  
zConfiguration Call Microphone Mute: on

This works for muting the audio of the host:  
zCommand Call MuteParticipant Mute  
But don’t use that: use the zConfiguration Call commands instead.

Yep, understood.&nbsp; I just wanted to let you know that you can mute the host as a host using the participant calls but not the video one.&nbsp; So Ill just send the Call Camera Mute requests for the host to get both buttons working
