How to build a network statistics panel in a live video call
Blog post from Daily
When building software, developers often focus on the "happy path" through an app's UI, but poor network conditions can negatively impact user experience. To help users understand when their network is the culprit for video call issues, developers can update their video call UI to display network status information, such as packet loss and download/upload rates. Daily handles poor internet connections in its Daily Prebuilt video component's design by providing a Network panel that shows these statistics. The `getNetworkStats()` method returns current network stats for the local participant, including packet loss and download/upload rates, which can be used to build features similar to Daily Prebuilt's. By communicating network issues and providing options for users to improve their situation, developers can help maintain a positive video call user experience in poor conditions.
