Turn off/stop browser camera in my sample react video call application

I am developing a video chat web application using react.js and kurento utils SDK for the media server. The problem is that the camera/light is still ON even after the video call is ended.The camera stops only for the first time and the problem occurs only from the second call.

  let stream = videoElem.srcObject;
  let tracks = stream.getTracks();

  tracks.forEach(function(track) {
    track.stop();
  });

  videoElem.srcObject = null;
}

I tried every possible ways to solve this issue and the above code is what i used for stopping camera.Is this a problem with react.js?

You must have more than one stream instances. What you can do is to have a single instance of stream, you can store it on redux or context and call it when you need it accordingly.

Can you try stopping individual video and audio track as webrtc APIs e.g. 

mediaStream.getAudioTracks()[0].stop();
mediaStream.getVideoTracks()[0].stop();
