I am using tokbox for video calling in my iOS application. I am getting the issue when while video calling, when I lock the app, the stream gets disconnected and the call ends.

This documentation outlines running TokBox in the background, i.e. when the phone is locked. The following is an excerpt from the limitations of running TokBox in the background:

Apps cannot do the following while in the background state:

  • Use the camera as a video source for a publisher.

The documentation goes on to explain that you can keep an audio-only session active when running in the background, but not a video session.

    Thank you Nathan for your reply, I totally agree that in background we cannot use camera as a video source. And when I put my app in background at the other end I get black screen and when I came back to foreground video starts rendering i.e. session do not disconnect in this case. But when I lock the screen, the session gets disconnected. Is there any solution for this? – Akshada-Systematix Feb 02 '18 at 05:44
