# Upgrade to v2

v2 of the JavaScript client is in beta. This page tracks what you have to change when
moving from v1, and it is deliberately short: at the time of writing, **nothing in the
client's public API has changed**.

## Install the beta

v2 publishes to the `beta` npm tag. v1 keeps `latest`, so an unpinned install stays on v1.

```bash
yarn add @stream-io/video-client@beta
```

## What has changed so far

Nothing that requires a code change. The 2.0 major was opened so the v2 line could
release independently of v1, not because the API broke. Your v1 integration compiles and
runs against the beta as-is.

## What to expect during the beta

Breaking changes land incrementally rather than all at once, so treat this page as the
running list and re-read it when you bump. Each entry will name the version it landed in
and the change you have to make.

If you hit something that behaves differently and is not listed here, that is worth
reporting: an unlisted break is a bug in this page as much as in the SDK.

## Staying on v1

v1 is maintained on its own release line and stays on the `latest` tag. If you are not
ready to move, pin `@stream-io/video-client@latest` and switch this page to v1 with the
version picker above.
