Hello,

I’m calling the switchCamera but it never return after the camera was changed

Here is my code:

```auto
console.log("switchCamera Environment...");
await stream.switchCamera(MobileVideoFacingMode.Environment);
console.log("switchCamera Environment OK");

```

Steps:

- Join a video session
- Click a button to turn on camera
- Click a button to switch the camera
- After the camera was switched to back camera. The switchCamera didn’t return. No “OK” message in console

I can remove the await keyword but it is not a good practice right?

Hey @thanh.huynh

Thanks for your feedback.

It’s a bug introduced in version 1.7.0. It will be fixed in the upcoming version.

The workaround for this issue is as you mentioned above, **remove the await keyword** , but it’s indeed not a good practice.

Thanks  
Vic
