What happens if only host displays video and close tab - browser or network lose. What is the condition of the other participants?

Hey @reactdev

Thanks for your feedback.

The video stream will disconnect, but the host will still be displayed in the session until the host has not rejoined the session in around 3 minutes.

Thanks  
Vic

Hey @reactdev

After 3 minutes, if the host still does not join the session, the server will re-assign the host to another participant.

Thanks
