ParticipantView

The ParticipantView component renders a participant’s video and displays related information of the participant. It can also be used to display the screen sharing view.

It displays the participant info such as

Name
Audio/video mute/unmute state
Reaction
Network quality indicator

It can toggle between video and avatar based on the participant’s video state. It also provides action buttons (for example, to unpin the participant).

It is used as a building block to render individual item of participants in CallContent and CallParticipantsList.

General Usage

In order to use the ParticipantView as a standalone component, you should use the following code:

import {
  ParticipantView,
  useCallStateHooks,
} from "@stream-io/video-react-native-sdk";

const App = () => {
  const { useParticipants } = useCallStateHooks();
  const participants = useParticipants();

  // Here to show the demo, we pass only first participant. You can pass any of the participant.
  return <ParticipantView participant={participants[0]} />;
};
