Can participants turn on their camera by themselves after turned off by the host?

I found the participants can't turn on their camera if the host has turned off , unless the host click the button - ask them to turn on one by one.  This is not convenient. Is there any set to change this or will developing a button to be done for camera like mute/unmute participants set by host?

@ZP_ZX  As far as I know, due to security and privacy, the host will not be able to turn on the participants' cameras remotely.

Hi, @ZP_ZX – 

 

Also see this Zoom Community post. I think your question is more about participants not being sble to turn their own video back on, once the host had Stopped Video for an attendee. It’s also a security feature. I believe if you use the Ask User to Start Video menu, the user can start video immediately OR they can respond No to the prompt inviting them to start video, but their ability to start later is restored. I haven’t tested that lately, but I’m pretty sure that works.
