To configure WebRTC call UI and behavior before joining, use SessionSettingsBuilder to set your desired layout, audio/video mode, default mute states, and button visibility, then build the immutable configuration and pass it into joinSession().

Yes, you can hide specific call control buttons during a CometChat video session by applying SessionSettingsBuilder options to toggle the visibility of the control panel, header, recording, share, and chat buttons before calling build().

The best way to set default audio mode and initial camera facing for iOS calls is to pre-configure these operational behaviors within SessionSettingsBuilder, ensuring the immutable built configuration applies them correctly when passed into joinSession().

To enable auto-start recording and in-session notifications for audio calls, configure these operational toggles using SessionSettingsBuilder during your pre-session setup, generating a built configuration that automatically applies these defaults upon joining.

No, CometChat requires you to customize how a call behaves and looks before users join by using SessionSettingsBuilder. Once you call build() and pass the immutable configuration into joinSession(), runtime settings cannot be changed.

You need to use SessionSettingsBuilder for your iOS call implementation when you require pre-session setup for both audio and video calls, including setting idle timeout behavior, audio route selection, and notification toggles before joining.
