# LoadingIndicatorPlaceholderComponent

> **Info:** This is documentation for **Stream Chat Angular SDK v7**, which is no longer actively maintained. For up-to-date documentation, see the [latest version (v8)](https://getstream.io/chat/docs/sdk/angular/).

The `LoadingInficatorPlaceholder` component displays the [default loading indicator](https://getstream.io/chat/docs/sdk/angular/v7/components/LoadingIndicatorComponent/) unless a [custom template](https://getstream.io/chat/docs/sdk/angular/v7/services/CustomTemplatesService/) is provided. This component is used by the SDK internally, you likely won't need to use it.
