When using the Agora SDK, how do I turn the local camera off before joining a channel, and how do I enable and disable the local camera during a call?

Maxine
Symptoms:
  • When I call DisableVideo(), the local camera is off. However, I can’t see the remote users.
Cause:
 
Calls to DisableVideo() disable all video streams.  
 
Resolution:
 
To disable camera capture on a local machine, call EnableLocalVideo(false) before the current user joins a channel. To mute and unmute your video stream multiple times rapidly during a session, the best practice is to call MuteLocalVideoStream(bool mute).

    I'm getting error in WebGL build if I call EnableLocalVideo before joining a channel. In editor it works fine. SDK 0.3.7.0.4130100.f6

    AgoraRTCException: AgoraRTCError INVALID_OPERATION: Can't unpublish stream, haven't joined yet!
