How to use VideoSDK

Integrating VideoSDK into your application is a streamlined process designed for developers:

1. Sign Up & Get API Key: Start by signing up on the VideoSDK website. You will receive an API key and 10,000 free minutes to begin development.
2. Choose and Install SDK: Select the appropriate SDK for your technology stack. VideoSDK offers native SDKs for Web (JavaScript, React, Angular, Vue), Mobile (Android, iOS, Kotlin, React Native, Unity, Flutter), and Server-Side (Node.js, Python, PHP, Java, Rust).
3. Project Configuration: Follow the detailed documentation to configure your project. This typically involves adding necessary permissions for camera and microphone access in your app's manifest file (e.g., AndroidManifest.xml for Android, Info.plist for iOS) and linking the required libraries.
4. Initialize and Implement: Use the SDK's intuitive components, hooks, and providers (like MeetingProvider and useMeeting in React) to initialize the service. You can then create or join meeting sessions and manage the state of the call.
5. Build the UI: Develop your user interface with controls for essential functions such as toggling the microphone/webcam, screen sharing, and leaving the call. Render participant video streams using provided components like RTCView.
6. Integrate Advanced Features: Easily add powerful features like session recording, interactive live streaming, real-time transcription, or AI-powered voice agents with just a few additional lines of code.
