1. Improve PlanetKit to control the camera directly as needed

   • During the call setup process and during the call, PlanetKit directly manages camera on/off operations.
   • PlanetKit turns on the camera only in the following minimal cases:
     • In a 1-to-1 call, PlanetKit turns on the camera when making a call with the initial video state set to RESUME.
     • In a 1-to-1 video call, PlanetKit turns on the camera if the video is in RESUME state during the responder preparation status.
     • PlanetKit turns on the camera when video needs to be sent to the network during the call.
   • PlanetKit also provides separate APIs for video previews which can be used independent of the call.
   • Supported call types: 1-to-1 call, group call
   • Supported platforms: Android, iOS, macOS, Windows
   • If you need to control the camera directly or control the source stream of the video in your application, please refer to the custom video source guide:
