Im using sendbird-calls sdk v1.5.1, after making the call camera/microphone is still being used, even after calling `call.end()`. Both hardware camera indicator and browsers software are active. Tested both on Firefox and Chrome. Should anything besides .end() be called on the call object to stop video/audio?

Thanks

Hello @shccxhxcxhxc,

Are you calling the `useMedia()` method? If so, are you disposing of it? If not, you’d see this behavior.

Thanks,  
Tyler

I’ve tested this behaviour on newer version of sendbird-calls, problem seems to be related to 1.5.1. On older versions and on newest one 1.5.3 it works properly, camera turns off after ending the call

Thanks for help
