Call Top View

The CallTopView is the header component that gives the user more information when in a call, while adding a few actions they can trigger while the call is active.

Preview of the default CallTopView component

You are free to customize the CallTopView as you want to add new buttons or change the background as per your design requirements.

Custom Call Top View

We will create a custom call top view which will only display the id of the call. This can then be passed to the CallContent component.

Preview of the custom CallTopView component

import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native';

const CustomCallTopView = () => {
  const call = useCall();
  return (
    <View style={styles.topView}>
      <Text style={styles.title}>{call?.id}</Text>
    </View>
  );
};

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  topView: {
    width: '100%',
    backgroundColor: 'gray',
  },
  title: {
    paddingVertical: 20,
    color: 'white',
    textAlign: 'center',
  },
});

Final steps

Now this can be passed to the CallTopView prop of the CallContent component, as follows:

import {
  Call,
  CallContent,
  StreamCall,
} from '@stream-io/video-react-native-sdk';

const VideoCallUI = () => {
  let call: Call;
  // your logic to create a new call or get an existing call

  return (
    <StreamCall call={call}>
      <CallContent CallTopView={CustomCallTopView} />
    </StreamCall>
  );
};
