If you want to publish with two cameras a the same time, you have to create two OV objects in the browser (from openvidu-browser.js lib) simulating two participants. Right now the same participant can not publish two streams at the same time.

Creating 2 participants from the same browser. That is, creating two instances of OV object. Every “virtual” participant should publish a different camera.

OpenVidu Call is doing that when share screen and publish camera at the same time.
