Description

We have a need to allow our users to transition a call from their headset to a usb speaker/microphone for speaker calls. The user can change the output device during the call, but not the input device. We programmatically change these and it has the same effect (the input device does not change until the call hangs up).

Is there a way to transition the input device on an active call from one to the other?

Research direction

Start by tracing how the widget changes the input device during an active call and compare that path with the existing output-device transition. Check the call media handling and the relevant browser/WebRTC behavior. Done means switching from a headset to a USB speaker/microphone changes the active call's input without hanging up.
