When app comes from background to foreground then video call freezing or disconnected.

It is OS limitation. Use react-native-background-actions or other library to keep call activity in background. iOS will pause video in background, only audio will be active during background mode is active.

I suggest you to listen to AppState and start/stop background activity if needed. Also good point to mute video while your application is not in foreground.

To add more info here:

It's better to switch off camera when go to BG and then switch on again when go to foreground
