Expo device selection and effects

Use mediasfu-reactnative-expo 2.6.2 room controls for camera and microphone switching and configured translation flows.

Camera and microphone switching​

The package exposes MediaSettingsModal, switchVideoAlt, switchUserVideo, switchUserVideoAlt, and switchUserAudio. For example:

import {switchVideoAlt} from 'mediasfu-reactnative-expo';

type CameraFlipOptions = Parameters<typeof switchVideoAlt>[0];

export function flipCamera(options: CameraFlipOptions) {
  return switchVideoAlt(options);
}

Use the options from the active room. Change the microphone with switchUserAudio; speaker and Bluetooth routes follow the platform's native audio behavior.

Backgrounds and translation​

The package's native React Native background processor is not supported. Keep background effects out of the native UI; an effect that works on Expo web does not mean native support. Use TranslationSettingsModal only when the room is configured for translation.

Test Android, iOS, and web independently. Permission to open a camera does not mean remote media is delivered or translated audio plays. Keep a clear retry path for interruptions and device changes.

Continue with Expo room operations and Expo recovery.
