Description

Steps to reproduce

Expected behaviour

The window with the avatar of the person who turned off the camera will appear

Empty and icon of enabled camera in the web version

Research direction

Reproduce the call using a Redmi 7 on Android 10 with Talk 16.0.1/16.0.4 and a web participant, following the listed camera on/off steps. Investigate the Android-to-web video state transition; done means the web participant shows the caller's avatar instead of a blank area with an enabled-camera icon.
