How do I prevent my WebCamera publishing my own stream to myself?

The question is: as written in the title!

Imagine a situation where Chun, Anne-Marie and Akmed are in a vid chat together. There's no point in Chun seeing himself, he only wants to see the other two and the same goes for them, thus:

Chun: should see Anne-Marie and Akmed

Anne-Marie: should see Chun and Akmed

Akmed: should see Chun and Anne-Marie

as the guy building this for the 3 of them, how can i achieve this?

Hi,

There is property called publisherIds in WebcamSubscriber which takes an array of userIds. You need to specify it whose streams you want to show. By default, your webcam shows every camera stream in the room. However, if you set this property, only the streams of those users whose Ids you are passing in this array will be shown.

In your case, if you don't yourself to be shown, pass an array of userIds containing all Ids except you. You can get the list of userIds from userManager and filter out your id from that and pass the rest into the property stated above. It should work.

Thanks
