Hi, I’ve tried the **useMedia** but it didn’t work. The point is, we need to do a video call but without the video from the browser: the user that answers should NOT be able to see the caller. That’s the sequence: 1- user A, from PC, is using the browser and makes a call BUT without the video, only with sound. The browser should asks ONLY for the audio permission, NOT video. 2- user B, from the android APP answers the call but WITH video, so user A can see him or her.By setting **isVideoCall** to false, the android app crashes. We changed videoEnabled to false, nothing happened. We also tried " **call.stopVideo();**" and " **setLocalVideo(false);**" but still without success. I’ve searched here: > **[Direct call | Calls JavaScript SDK | Sendbird Docs](https://sendbird.com/docs/calls/v1/javascript/guides/direct-call#2-configure-media-devices)** > > Explore the key functions of direct calls for JavaScript. but can’t find anything useful. Can you help me, please? Thanks. ---
