# LoadingIndicatorPlaceholderComponent

> **Info:** This is release candidate documentation for **Stream Chat Angular SDK v8**. For the latest stable version, see the [latest version (v7)](https://getstream.io/chat/docs/sdk/angular/).

The `LoadingIndicatorPlaceholder` component displays the [default loading indicator](https://getstream.io/chat/docs/sdk/angular/v8/components/LoadingIndicatorComponent/) unless a [custom template](https://getstream.io/chat/docs/sdk/angular/v8/services/CustomTemplatesService/) is provided. This component is used by the SDK internally, you likely won't need to use it.
