By default I want the back camera to be active when I start live streaming a video using LiveKit IOS SDK.

Hey there! If you want to set the back camera as the default when you start live streaming using the LiveKit iOS SDK, it’s pretty straightforward. You just need to specify the camera position in the
CameraCaptureOptions
when you create the video track. Here’s a quick rundown: 1. First, import the necessary modules:
LiveKit
and
AVFoundation
. 2. Next, create your camera capture options and set the
position
to
.back
so it uses the rear camera. 3. Then, create and publish the video track using
LocalVideoTrack.createCameraTrack(options:)
with those options. Here’s a little example to make it clearer:
Copy code
let cameraOptions = CameraCaptureOptions(position: .back)
let videoTrack = LocalVideoTrack.createCameraTrack(options: cameraOptions)
This way, your stream will start with the back camera by default. If you have any questions or want to chat more about it, just let me know—I’m here to help! Sources: Docs/ios-screen-sharing.md
