Vonage Video Express

Vonage Video Express is a JavaScript library to quickly create a multiparty video conference web application. It works on top of the Vonage Video API for JavaScript.

A Quick Start

  1. Install the Video Express package:
  • Installation using the npm package

    npm i --save @vonage/video-express
  • We can also use a script tag in the <head> section of the HTML page, to include Vonage Video Express in our application

  1. Currently, Vonage Video Express doesn't include a default UI. So you will need to add CSS to style the room components in your app:

For a quick start, copy the video-express-styles.css file and include it in your head section:

  1. Add a div element within the body section. This will be the room container. The SDK will append all of its DOM components within this container:
  1. Use this code snippet to create a room and to join the video conference. To create the room object, you will need to provide your API key, a session ID, and a token for the session:

See the guide on Session Creation and Token Creation.
