You can set the initial video state of the local user, which is applied when starting a video call or switching from an audio call to a video call.

Supported call typeMinimum SDK version
1-to-1 call, group call (conference)PlanetKit 5.5

Overview​

The PlanetKitInitialMyVideoState enum defines the following values for the initial video state:

  • RESUME: The camera is turned on and the video captured by the camera is transmitted.
  • PAUSE: The camera remains turned off and video is not transmitted.
Note
  • The default value of the APIs described below is RESUME.
  • If you set the initial video state to PAUSE, the local user's video is not transmitted. To capture and transmit the local user's video, you must call resumeMyVideo() afterward.

Setting the initial video state at the start of a video call​

Depending on the call type, the API used to set the initial video state is as follows.

1-to-1 call​

  • Caller side: Use setInitialMyVideoState() of PlanetKitMakeCallParam.Builder when making a call.
  • Callee side: Set the initialMyVideoState parameter of the acceptCall() when accepting a call.

For a code example of setting the initial video state in 1-to-1 calls, see 1-to-1 video call.

Group call​

Use setInitialMyVideoState() of PlanetKitConferenceParam.Builder when joining a group call.

For a code example of setting the initial video state in group calls, see Group video call.
