Hi,  
I’ve been browsing though the documentation and this forum to check if the SDK would allow me to toggle the torch on Android. Since it’s tied to the rear camera I believe it’s something the SDK must expose?

I did find: [Enabling/disabling torch while in session](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/enabling-disabling-torch-while-in-session/56795)

Is it still in the backlog or am I missing something?

I am coming from Twilio Video, where this was solved by Twilio handing out their default implementation of the `VideoCapturer`, that we could then modify to toggle the flash mode. Will a similar approach be possible without having to write the whole device camera video source as you already have?

Unfortunately, the flash/torch capability plays an important role in our use cases.

Thanks.
