await meeting.startVideo()

If there are multiple cameras in the participant's system and you want to share a specific one, for e.g if the user is on a laptop and has a built-in camera as well as an external webcam.

Then you can use listVideoInputDevices() to fetch the list of all cameras and then pass the deviceId of the camera to the chooseVideoInputDevice(deviceId) method and then call the startVideo() method.

chooseVideoInputDevice(deviceId) can be called anytime during the meeting to switch the camera.
