  const token = "<VIDEOSDK_TOKEN>";
  const fileName = "myImage.jpeg"; // Provide name with extension here
  const url = await uploadBase64File({ base64Data, token, fileName });
  console.log("fileUrl", url);

  const url = "<Your FileUrl>"; // Provide fileUrl which is returned by uploadBase64File()
  const token = "<VIDEOSDK_TOKEN>";
  const base64 = await fetchBase64File({ url, token });
  console.log("base64", base64);
}
