Hi,

Once we have published the local stream over the room, is there any way to  
stop (and start later) publishing only video or audio while still keep the  
local stream connected?

Thanks,  
Son

Hi,

I’ve found a way to do that after spending some time on the eziroClient  
source code.  
To stop publishing audio:  
localStream.stream.getAudioTracks()[0].enabled = fasle;  
And stop publishing video:  
localStream.stream.getVideoTracks()[0].enabled = false;

but if you create two streams, then the user would be asked twice, first to  
share his microfone, and later to share his video, right ? is there any way  
to use two streams but ask the user only one question about sharing his  
audio AND his video ?On Tuesday, January 28, 2014 10:00:18 PM UTC+1, Álvaro Alonso wrote:

Using the erizoClient API the way to do that is creating two streams, one  
for the video and other for the audio. Thus you can stop/start them  
whenever you want
