FAQ

How to specify which camera to use?

1. Use the desiredCamera prop. If one of the camera's name contains it, then it will be used. You can get the devices list in the onDeviceListLoaded event.
2. Use the facingMode prop. Set it to environment to use the back camera. Set it to user to use the front camera. Please note that this is not supported on Desktop.

You can use the two props together. facingMode has a higher priority.
