I was trying to use the new HELLO chat, but it does not allow the chat initiator to select which camera to have as active. When will this be resolved?

When starting a chat session using HELLO you cannot select your video or audio preference. Once in the chat session, you still do not have the ability to alter which video and audio source are in use. This seems to be a developmental oversight. The recipient of the chat invitation does have the proper functionality to alter their sources. When will this be corrected?

Hi jthistlejr, This functionality does exist. Click on the microphone icon or video camera icon in the active video chat in order to select from the permissions drop down. Also see:
