Start or Join Meeting

After the successful installation of VideoSDK, the next step is to integrate VideoSDK features with your webApp/MobileApp.

To Communicate with other participant's audio or video call, you will need to join the meeting.

This guide will provide an overview of how to configure, initialize and join a VideoSDK meeting.

1. Configuration

To configure a meeting, you will need generated token and meetingId, we had discussed in Server Setup. This code snippet calls API from local server

Scenario 1 - Suppose you don't have any meetingId, you can simply generate meetingId by invoking create-meeting API.

Scenario 2 - Suppose you have meetingId, now you don't have to call create-meeting API to generate meetingId, instead you can call validate-meeting API to validate meetingId.

Token generation API is necessary for both scenario.

const getToken = async () => {
try {
const response = await fetch(`${LOCAL_SERVER_URL}/get-token`, {
method: "GET",
headers: {
Accept: "application/json",
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
});
const { token } = await response.json();
return token;
} catch (e) {
console.log(e);
}
};

const getMeetingId = async (token) => {
try {
const VIDEOSDK_API_ENDPOINT = `${LOCAL_SERVER_URL}/create-meeting`;
const options = {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
body: JSON.stringify({ token }),
};
const response = await fetch(VIDEOSDK_API_ENDPOINT, options)
.then(async (result) => {
const { meetingId } = await result.json();
return meetingId;
})
.catch((error) => console.log("error", error));
return response;
} catch (e) {
console.log(e);
}
};

/** This API is for validate the meeting id */
/** Not require to call this API after create meeting API */
const validateMeeting = async (token, meetingId) => {
try {
const VIDEOSDK_API_ENDPOINT = `${LOCAL_SERVER_URL}/validate-meeting/${meetingId}`;
const options = {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
body: JSON.stringify({ token }),
};
const response = await fetch(VIDEOSDK_API_ENDPOINT, options)
.then(async (result) => {
const { meetingId } = await result.json();
return meetingId;
})
.catch((error) => console.log("error", error));
return response;
} catch (e) {
console.log(e);
}
};

const access_token = await getToken();
const meetingId = await getMeetingId(access_token);

2. Initialization

After configuration, you will have to Initialize

meeting by providing name, meetingId, micEnabled, webcamEnabled & maxResolution.

NOTE : For React & React native developer, you have

to be familiar with hooks concept. You can understand hooks concept on React Hooks.

import { VideoSDK } from "@videosdk.live/js-sdk";

// Configure authentication token
VideoSDK.config("<Authentication-token>");

// Initialise meeting
const meeting = VideoSDK.initMeeting({
meetingId: "<Id-on-meeting>", // required
name: "<Name-of-participant>", // required
participantId:'Id-of-participant' // optional, default: SDK will generate
micEnabled: "<Flag-to-enable-mic>", // optional, default: true
webcamEnabled: "<Flag-to-enable-webcam>", // optional, default: true
maxResolution: "<Maximum-resolution>", // optional, default: "hd"
});

3. Join

After configuration & initialization, the third step is to call join() to join a meeting.

After joining, you will be able to Manage Participant in a meeting.

const onPress = () => {
// Joining Meeting
meeting?.join();
};
