The Publisher and Subscriber objects include the following built-in user interface controls:

• The stream name display
• The audio level indicator
• The mute audio button
• The video disabled indicator and video disabled warning icon (Subscriber only)

• Displaying or hiding the mute audio button
• Detecting when a subscriber's video is disabled
