const fileObject = files[0];  
const params = {  
file: fileObject,  
fileName: fileObject.name,  
fileSize: fileObject.size,  
mimeType: fileObject.type,  
thumbnailSizes: [{ maxWidth: 200, maxHeight: 200 }],  
};  
const channel = useChat.useChannel;  
console.log(params);  
console.log(channel);  
channel.sendFileMessage(params).onSucceeded(FileMessage =\> {  
addMessage(FileMessage);  
});

The upload file is 3MB ‘sendFileMessage’ request/response takes 6-10 seconds, is there any way to improve it?  
AddMessage is a function that adds an upload image to the message list
