Calls apps often need responsive camera controls during an active video session, such as pausing/resuming the camera and switching between front and rear lenses without disrupting the call flow.
Use case: You are building a custom call screen where the user taps a button to mute their video by turning the camera off, then later re-enables video and switches cameras, with the UI reflecting each state change automatically.
Use the video-controls skill to pause and resume the local camera during an active call, switch between front and back cameras, and keep your UI in sync using media event callbacks.

To pause and resume the local camera during an active iOS call session, use the CallSession media APIs to call pauseVideo and resumeVideo. This toggles local video off and back on without disrupting the ongoing call flow.
Switch between front and rear cameras by invoking the switchCamera method from the CallSession media APIs during an active call. This toggles camera facing to support different user scenarios instantly without dropping the session.
Update custom UI buttons to reflect the current camera state during an iOS video call by implementing MediaEventsListener callbacks. These event-driven callbacks ensure your interface accurately reflects real-time media state changes.
Configure the initial video state and hide built-in camera toggle buttons before a call starts by using SessionSettingsBuilder. This pre-session configuration determines whether built-in UI toggles for video and camera switching are visible.
Implementing custom video controls for iOS calling flows requires SDK integration utilizing CallSession media APIs and MediaEventsListener callbacks. These components provide the interfaces to toggle camera state and manage real-time UI updates.
