Using a custom video capturer

The otc_publisher_new() function includes a capturer parameter. If you set this to NULL, the SDK uses the default system camera as the source for the published video stream.

However, you can use a custom video capturer for the publisher by defining a otc_video_capturer_callbacks struct and passing it in as the capturer parameter of the otc_publisher_new() function.

The otc_video_capturer_callbacks struct includes function pointers to callback functions that are invoked upon events related to the publisher video, such as when the video capturer needs a new video frame.

Mirroring the local display of a publisher's video

By default, the local renderer for published video mirrors the video. You can set the mirror_on_local_render property of the otc_video_capturer_settings instance obtained by calling the get_capture_settings(capturer, settings) function.

Set it to true to have the video mirrored in the local renderer of the publisher. Set it to false to have it not be mirrored.

This setting only affects the rendered video in the publisher's client application. It has no effect on the video in subscribing clients.
