Is there a way to mute and unmute the video and audio feed of the RTSP stream? for all participants? another related question is does OV automatically evicts all RTSP streams after all “non IP camera” participants have left a session? ---

1. There is no way to mute the camera’s feed on the server side. You must mute it on the receivers side. 2. No, the OpenVidu Session is NOT closed if an IP camera participant remains connected to it. You must manually evict the participan (or just manually close the session).
