Audio: Disable all remote stream audio

[manoj-paramesh-learngram-ai]

Using ReactNativeWebRTC with jitsi, as per my understanding, the audio in the streams are automatically played in the device as long the RTCPeerConnection is connected.

import {
    MediaStream,
    MediaStreamTrack,
    RTCSessionDescription,
    RTCIceCandidate,
    mediaDevices,
    permissions
} from 'react-native-webrtc';

import RTCPeerConnection from './RTCPeerConnection';

(global => {
    if (typeof global.MediaStream === 'undefined') {
        global.MediaStream = MediaStream;
    }
    if (typeof global.MediaStreamTrack === 'undefined') {
        global.MediaStreamTrack = MediaStreamTrack;
    }
    if (typeof global.RTCIceCandidate === 'undefined') {
        global.RTCIceCandidate = RTCIceCandidate;
    }
    if (typeof global.RTCPeerConnection === 'undefined') {
        global.RTCPeerConnection = RTCPeerConnection;
    }
    if (typeof global.RTCPeerConnection === 'undefined') {
        global.webkitRTCPeerConnection = RTCPeerConnection;
    }
    if (typeof global.RTCSessionDescription === 'undefined') {
        global.RTCSessionDescription = RTCSessionDescription;
    }

    const navigator = global.navigator;

    if (navigator) {
        if (typeof navigator.mediaDevices === 'undefined') {
            navigator.mediaDevices = mediaDevices;
        }
        if (typeof navigator.permissions === 'undefined') {
            navigator.permissions = permissions;
        }
    }

})(global || window || this); 

Expected Behavior:

Would want the ability to mute all incoming audio streams with a trigger and then enable it back again with the same trigger.

Observed Behavior:

Cannot control the audio in the remote stream

Steps to reproduce the issue:

NA

Please help out on to achieve this functionality

You can just set remoteTrack.enabled to false for every track and that's it, it won't be played back.

That is all that's necessary from the perspective of this library.

In order to make it work in jitsi meet you'll need to find where to get the tracks in order to disable them, but that is a question for the jitsi meet repo / community.
