Local And Other Participants

import { View } from "react-native";
import {
  useParticipant,
  RTCView,
  MediaStream,
} from "@videosdk.live/react-native-sdk";

/** localParticipant contains Participant object
  as displayed above local participant section */
const { localParticipant, participants } = useMeeting();

/** Render All Participant including local participant */
{
  [...participants.keys()].map((k) => (
    <View>
      {k.map((l) => (
        <ParticipantView key={l} participantId={l} />
      ))}
    </View>
  ));
}

/** Participant View Component*/

const ParticipantView = ({ participantId }) => {
  /** useParticipant Hooks which accept `participantId`
    as parameter then return participant properties such as displayName, webcamOn, micOn etc.  */
  const { displayName, webcamStream, webcamOn, micOn, isActiveSpeaker } =
    useParticipant(participantId);

  return (
    <RTCView
      streamURL={new MediaStream([webcamStream?.track]).toURL()}
      style={{ flex: 1 }}
    />
  );
};

import { useMeeting, useParticipant } from "@videosdk.live/react-native-sdk";

  /** useMeeting hooks events */
const {
  /** Methods */
} = useMeeting({
  onParticipantJoined: (participant) => {},
  onParticipantLeft: (participant) => {},
  onPresenterChanged: (presenterId) => {},
});

  /** useParticipant hooks events */
const {
  /** Methods */
} = useParticipant(participantId, {
  onStreamEnabled:(stream) => {};
  onStreamDisabled(stream) => {};
});
