Hi, @arfa.ahmed,

Thank you for posting in the Zoom Developer Forum. Can you share if you are seeing any errors when you call switchCamera() with camera deviceId?

Thanks for the reply, @arfa.ahmed ! Can you share a snippet code of how you are calling switchCamera() with camera deviceId ?

Calling this function to switch camera

const onSwitchCamera = async (key: string) => {
    if (mediaStream) {
      if (activeCamera !== key) {
        await mediaStream.switchCamera(key);
        setActiveCamera(mediaStream.getActiveCamera());
      }
    }
  };

and getting the list of available cameras from this:

mediaStream.getCameraList()

Hey @arfa.ahmed

Thanks for your feedback.

On mobile browsers, the specific camera ID maybe not be fit for the startVideo or switchCamera methods, using the FacingMode as the device ID.

We will improve the document later.

Thanks
Vic

thanks, now it’s working.
Is there any method to detect a mobile browser?

Hey @arfa.ahmed

It depends on you. Using user-agent detection or feature detection is acceptable.

Thanks
