hi @vihan85, thanks for reporting this issue. This behavior is intentional and standardized across all of our SDKs.
We are evaluating whether to introduce a flag that enables state updates even after the call transitions to LEFT state. I'll keep you posted on this.

Can you please share what's your use case? Maybe we can suggest another solution.

hi @oliverlaz,

I'm developing a functionality when during a group call, users can join whenever they want by clicking the "join call" button, and the button will disappear if the call ends.

• "join call" button just appear while useCallSession().participants.length > 0

"@stream-io/video-react-sdk": "^1.1.3",

For me, a blank screen is presented...

Hi @oliverlaz,

Can you help me?

[client]: Failed to connect Error: {"code":"","StatusCode":"","message":"initial WS connection could not be established","isWSFailure":true}

I keep getting this error, esp in production

Hello @oliverlaz

[oliverlaz]

hi @vihan85,

We can't change this behavior as it might be a breaking change for some customers who rely on the existing behavior.
We might consider adding an option on the call instance that can control this behavior in the future.

Currently, I can suggest you one workaround:

const onLeaveCallButtonPress = async () => {
  await call.leave(); // I assume this is your current logic
  
  // Add this:
  // This will re-establish the connection and will enable state updates until you do `call.leave()` again.
  // Keep in mind this may create a memory leak, as this call instance won't be automatically disposed.
  await call.get();
}

Please let me know if this helps.
