Hi,

I need only Audio and don’t want to turn on the Video, while creating the publisher. Below is the Property I am passing in OV.initPublisher method  
{“frameRate”:30,“insertMode”:“APPEND”,“mirror”:false,“publishAudio”:true,“publishVideo”:false,“resolution”:“640x480”}  
By Specifying publishVideo as false, the webcam is not sending the feed, I can see black image in the Video, but still the camera light gets turned on, I am unable to turn it off.

Note: This Issue is appearing only in chrome, whereas in firefox the camera light gets turned off.

I tried using below code to stop the Video Track. But if we stop the VideoTrack, it inturn affects the Audio and the subscriber is unable to hear the Audio.

setTimeout(() =\> {  
let videoTrack;

```auto
try {

	if (publisher&& publisher.stream && publisher.stream.mediaStream
		&& publisher.stream.mediaStream.getVideoTracks()) {
			videoTrack = publisher.stream.mediaStream.getVideoTracks()[0];
	}
} catch(error) {
	console.log(error);
}
try {
	
	if (videoTrack) {
		videoTrack.stop();  
	}
}catch(error) {
	console.log(error);
}

```

}, 3000);

Has anyone used only Audio in OpenVidu?  
Any help would be appreciated
