Hi all,

As for the behaviour of backgrounding a real-time streaming video/audio 
chatting app, my suggestion here would be "Stops the camera, but keeps the 
Mic". It meets all your concerns about "privacy, resource releasing, and power 
consuming".

Yet it doesn't save as much resource or power as stopping both camera and mic, 
but it sure saves more then holding those two. In most cases, users in a 
realtime video chatting scenario are able to see both images of themselves and 
the other. This ensures users what they are showing. Hiding the app should stop 
the camera, otherwise we should still show the image of users side.

While the behaviour of mic should mimic answering a phone call, even a feature 
phone can look up contacts while holding the call.

Hope that this helps!

Thanks,
Shelly
