Hello,

I’m trying to let the participant choose which media device it wants to use without using the _prejoin directive_ but I’m having some trouble: If I set `[prejoin]="false"` in the `<ov-videoconference>` component and then join the session it’ll choose the first media device automatically. How can I make a custom selection for media devices? I’ve seen that is possible on _openvidu-browser_ package but it’s not clear with _openvidu-angular_ package.

Best regards

Resolved by using `openvidu-browser` library and not `openvidu-angular` and it’s Angular components. The library is missing some important features for me at the moment, like custom device selection before joining.

Hi,  
FYI: The openvidu-angular library has device selection before and after joinig to session since 2.22.0 (5 monts ago).
