Microphone and camera remain active for participants after the host ends the meeting

[ahn215]

Hi team,

I noticed what seems to be a small issue.

When the host/admin ends the meeting, participants leave the meeting as expected. However, on the participant side, the browser still keeps access to the microphone and camera. The devices are only released after the participant reloads the page.

This doesn't happen on the host side—only participants are affected.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Join a meeting as a host and as a participant.
2. End the meeting from the host side.
3. Check the participant's browser.

Expected behavior:
The participant's microphone and camera should be released automatically when the meeting is ended by the host.

Actual behavior:
The participant leaves the meeting, but the browser continues using the microphone and camera until the page is reloaded.

Thanks!

Additional information

• This only occurs on the participant side.
• Reloading the page immediately releases the microphone and camera.
• It seems that the local media tracks may not be getting cleaned up when the meeting is terminated by the host.

Thanks for the report. This is fixed in @whereby.com/core@1.16.3 and @whereby.com/browser-sdk@3.26.7
