&nbsp;I am using an API user to join a meeting.

I need to start with video and audio turned off because I have another application that will be sharing with the meeting that needs to connect directly to the camera.

I notice in the&nbsp;StartParam4NormalUser there is a “isVideoOff” and “isAudioOff” members, but those same members do not exist for the&nbsp;StartParam4APIUser.

How do I join a meeting with video and audio off for an API user?

Hi Andrew,

if you are join the meeting, please take a look at JoinParam4APIUser struct. There are two bool values: isVideoOff and isAudioOff.&nbsp;
