Flow: One participant has joined the session from the Android side and one participant is joining the session from the Web side(Developed in React). Once the user is unpublish and publishes the video track from React side, On the Android side this is not reflecting. I have debugged sdk and able to see those methods for unpublishVideostream and publish video stream are getting called and inside that, I am able to see new VideoTrack/AudioTrack but it is not seen in device.

@akashvyasal Thank you for the bug report. Is this with the Javascript SDK running on the Android browser? If not, are you experiencing this issue with more recent versions, such as 7.1.0?

Hello @afalls-twilio ,

Thank you for the response.

Javascript SDK is running on the website, not Android. We are joining video sessions from the web and Android. I have checked it with the version mentioned in the comment. Though I will check again with the version we are currently using and get back to you.

Thanks,

@akashvyasal you have some workaround for this issue?

@flipper09112 @akashvyasal is this still an issue in the 7.6.1 release?
