Video SDK React Quickstart

Use of this sample app is subject to our Terms of Use.

The Zoom Video SDK enables you to build custom video experiences on a webpage with Zoom's core technology. This demo showcases how to use the Video SDK React Library to build a Videochat app with React & Vite.

Installation

To get started, clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/zoom/videosdk-react-quickstart

Setup

1. Install the dependencies:

   npm install

2. Run the app:

   npm run dev

Usage

1. Navigate to http://localhost:5173

2. In the prompt, input a JWT for your session name (default: "TestOne").

JWT Helper

The project provides a generateToken.ts file that can be used to generate a temporary JWT:

1. Create a .env file in the root directory of the project, you can do this by copying the .env.example file (cp .env.example .env) and replacing the values with your own. The .env file should look like this:

SDK_KEY=abc123XXXXXXXXXX
SDK_SECRET=abc123XXXXXXXXXX

1. Run node generateToken.ts TestOne --copy-to-clipboard

The script generates a token for the proivded session name and the --copy-to-clipboard or -c flag copies it to your clipboard.

For the full list of features and event listeners, as well as additional guides, see our Video SDK docs. You can also learn more about the React library in our GitHub repo.

Disclaimer

Do not expose your credentials to the client, when using the Video SDK in production please make sure to use a backend service to sign the tokens. Don't store credentials in plain text, as this is a sample app we're using an .env for sake of simplicity.
