Blog post from Stream
The tutorial provides a comprehensive guide to building a real-time Angular video chat application that integrates chat messaging and video calling functionalities using the Stream Chat Angular SDK and its companion JavaScript Video SDK. It details the process of setting up a new Angular project, installing necessary dependencies, and configuring the chat UI with features like instant messaging, media attachments, emojis, threads, and replies. The integration of video calling is achieved by creating a service to manage video calls, including functionalities such as enabling video and audio, joining and leaving calls, and managing call participants. The tutorial also covers testing the application locally or through GitHub Codespaces, and concludes with instructions on implementing a start call button in the chat UI to enable seamless audio and video communication.
