Settings

The Stream API provides multiple configuration options on the call type level.

You can provide the settings when creating or updating a call type
For maximum flexibility, you can override the settings on the call level when creating or updating a call

Code examples

Settings

client.video.createCallType({
  name: "<call type name>",
  settings: {
    screensharing: {
      access_request_enabled: false,
      enabled: true,
    },

// override settings on call level
call.create({

Notification settings

Notification settings can't be overridden on the call level, you can only set these on the call type level.

client.video.createCallType({

    enabled: true,
    call_notification: {
