Video API developers can use the Video API Playground to:
- Explore platform capabilities without having to write any code.
- Reproduce issues experienced in deployment.
- Join an existing session to monitor the user experience.
The Video API Playground uses the OpenTok.js SDK to access the video platform. It does not support mobile browsers and cannot simulate the native mobile experience. However, you can use the Video API Playground to join a session with mobile participants.
