Can we customise video view of SendBird SDK

Sendbird Voice/Video Calls iOS

Hi,

I want to show only my video (only one participant) in a group video call, can we customize the video view like this in Sendbird video SDK?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Ashwini , You can customize video views by only setting videoView property for the participants that you want. In this case, you can only show local user’s video view by setting room.localParticipant?.videoView = VIDEO_VIEW.

Thanks for the response @mininny

It’s working but my concern is if I am a performer who wants to perform something in a video call then only my video will be visible to all participants in a group call, other participant videos will be hidden.

Let’s assume there is 3 participant (players) in a game and there is a sequence of players.
Case 1: 1st player turn (performer) →
1st player video will be visible to 2nd and 3rd players in a group call and 2nd and 3rd players’ video (view) will be hidden.

Case 2: 2nd player turn (performer) →
2nd player video will be visible to 1st and 3rd players in a group call and 1st and 3rd players’ video(view) will be hidden.

Case 3: 3rd player turn (performer) →
3rd player video will be visible to 1st and 2nd players in a group call and 1st and 2nd players’ video(view) will be hidden.

How can we do this in Sendbird?

Thanks

Hi,

I am still waiting for your response.

Hi @Ashwini ,
I think you could achieve something like that by enabling and disabling the participants’ videos when necessary by calling participant.startVideo() and participant.stopVideo().

You could also hide the UIView that you have added to your view by setting the isHidden flag of the view as true.
