We have enabled the following options in:  
Account Management → Account Settings → Schedule Meeting  
Host video: Start meetings with host video =\> ON  
Participant video: Start meetings with participant video =\> ON

We are using the Meeting Web SDK (“@zoom/meetingsdk”: “3.13.2”,) with the Component View embedded in our web application. However, even with these options enabled, the video does not start automatically for either the host or participants.

Hi @specialepm-hirecoret  
After doing some testing and looking internally into this issue.  
This behavior is expected, the user must click on Start video tu turn the camera on after joining.

Hello @elisa.zoom! But it’s behaviour by default (user must click on start video). What do these account settings (Start meetings with host/participant video) affect then?
