aws sdk – Agent switches client’s camera

No, it’s against user privacy to allow the host to control someone else’s camera. No meeting software e.g. Google Meets, Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex etc. has this functionality.

navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia is a client-side JavaScript API. Even if the host has permission, the user themselves need to trigger the switch without some aspect of remote control, as they are the ones in control of the camera hardware.

There might be a hacky way of using eval to trigger it based on host input without user permission, as the initial user permission to start their camera grants the web application access to all cameras – but all in all, Chime doesn’t have this feature
