Video API Update: New React Native SDK, Performance Improvements, & More!

Stream has announced significant enhancements to its Video & Audio API, introducing new frontend SDKs for React Native and vanilla JavaScript, in addition to existing support for iOS, Android, React, and Flutter. The React Native SDK facilitates the development of real-time calling, live streaming, and audio room applications, providing features like background call support and native permission handling. The vanilla JavaScript SDK extends the API's capabilities beyond React projects, offering advanced features such as recording and broadcasting. An interactive API tour guides developers in integrating the Video API in less than ten steps, while backend improvements have enabled support for up to 400 call participants on a single server, with further scalability anticipated. Livestreaming has been enhanced with improved RTMP and HLS support, and iOS users can now share screens directly from mobile devices. Stream encourages developers to join its open beta and engage with its community to refine the API further.
