How to Add Video to Your React Chat App with Nexmo
The Nexmo Conversation API allows users to create customer journeys through conversations, providing a superior customer experience by maintaining the context of those conversations across multiple channels such as voice, messaging, and video. This enables omnichannel communication, robustness, and context retention. The tutorial guides users in building a video chat app using the TokBox API, incorporating the Conversation API into an existing React application to add video functionality. It covers creating a Vonage API account, generating keys and session IDs, organizing components, building the VideoComponent, Publisher, Subscriber, ConnectionStatus, and CheckBox components, testing the app, and collaborating with the Nexmo team for innovative use cases. The Conversation API is currently in beta and encourages users to share their ideas and collaborate on new applications.
