Using Video-Chat without camera (microphone only)

[MJ@alaun]

Hello Flashphoner-team,
is it possible to use the video-chat with a audio-chat fallback if the camera is not available?
For example one participant has only a microphone but no camera. The other one has both. At the moment they can't communicate because STREAM_STATUS.FAILED occurs. Wouldn't it be nice if they could talk to each other?
I know I could set the video-constraint to "false", but I'd like to try video-chat first and use audio-chat only as fallback.
Looking forward to your help.
Martin

Hello
You have to check if camera available.
See MediaDevices example:
https://wcs5-eu.flashphoner.com/cli...dia_devices_manager/media_device_manager.html

If camera is not available, you publish stream without video (video-constraint to "false").
If camera is ready, you publish stream with video.

Thank you for your help.
Still one question: How can I release Media requested by flashplayer? Seems that only reload of page releases cam and mic if I use Flash.
