@akashvyasal Thank you for the bug report. Is this with the Javascript SDK running on the Android browser? If not, are you experiencing this issue with more recent versions, such as 7.1.0?

Hello @afalls-twilio ,

Thank you for the response.

Javascript SDK is running on the website, not Android. We are joining video sessions from the web and Android. I have checked it with the version mentioned in the comment. Though I will check again with the version we are currently using and get back to you.

Thanks,

@akashvyasal you have some workaround for this issue?

@flipper09112 @akashvyasal is this still an issue in the 7.6.1 release?
