Prebuilt Event Rooms
MediaSFU provides prebuilt event rooms for various purposes. These rooms are rendered as full pages and can be easily imported and used in your application. Here are the available prebuilt event rooms:
- MediasfuGeneric: A generic event room suitable for various types of events.
- MediasfuBroadcast: A room optimized for broadcasting events.
- MediasfuWebinar: Specifically designed for hosting webinars.
- MediasfuConference: Ideal for hosting conferences.
- MediasfuChat: A room tailored for interactive chat sessions.
Users can easily pick an interface and render it in their app.
If no API credentials are provided, a default home page will be displayed where users can scan or manually enter the event details.
To use these prebuilt event rooms, simply import them into your application:
import { MediasfuGeneric, MediasfuBroadcast, MediasfuWebinar, MediasfuConference, MediasfuChat } from 'mediasfu-reactjs';Simplest Usage
The simplest way to use MediaSFU is by directly rendering a prebuilt event room component, such as MediasfuGeneric:
import { MediasfuGeneric } from 'mediasfu-reactjs';
const App = () => {
return (
<MediasfuGeneric />
);
}
export default App;Programmatically Fetching Tokens
If you prefer to fetch the required tokens programmatically without visiting MediaSFU's website, you can use the PreJoinPage component and pass your credentials as props:
import { MediasfuGeneric, PreJoinPage } from 'mediasfu-reactjs';
const App = () => {
const credentials = { apiUserName: "yourAPIUserName", apiKey: "yourAPIKey" };
return (
<MediasfuGeneric PrejoinPage={PreJoinPage} credentials={credentials} />
);
}
export default App;Preview of Welcome Page
Preview of Prejoin Page
Custom Welcome/Prejoin Page
Alternatively, you can design your own welcome/prejoin page. The core function of this page is to fetch user tokens from MediaSFU's API and establish a connection with the returned link if valid.
Parameters Passed to Custom Page
MediaSFU passes relevant parameters to the custom welcome/prejoin page:
let { showAlert, updateIsLoadingModalVisible, connectSocket, updateSocket, updateValidated,
updateApiUserName, updateApiToken, updateLink, updateRoomName, updateMember } = parameters;Ensure that your custom page implements the following updates:
updateSocket(socket);
updateApiUserName(apiUserName);
updateApiToken(apiToken);
updateLink(link);
updateRoomName(apiUserName);
updateMember(userName);
updateValidated(true);See the following code for the PreJoinPage page logic:
import React, { useState } from "react";
import Cookies from "universal-cookie";
import { ConnectSocketType, ShowAlert } from "../../@types/types";
import { Socket } from "socket.io-client";
const cookies = new Cookies();

IP Blockage Warning And Local UI Development
Entering the event room without the correct credentials may result in IP blockage, as the page automatically attempts to connect with MediaSFU servers, which rate limit bad requests based on IP address.
If users attempt to enter the event room without valid credentials or tokens, it may lead to IP blockage due to MediaSFU servers' rate limiting mechanism. To avoid unintentional connections to MediaSFU servers during UI development, users can pass the useLocalUIMode parameter as true.
In this mode, the module will operate locally without making requests to MediaSFU servers. However, to render certain UI elements such as messages, participants, requests, etc., users may need to provide seed data. They can achieve this by importing random data generators and passing the generated data to the event room component.
Example for Broadcast Room
import { MediasfuBroadcast, generateRandomParticipants, generateRandomMessages } from 'mediasfu-reactjs';
function App() {
const useSeed = true;
let seedData = {};
if (useSeed) {
const memberName = 'Alice';
const hostName = 'Fred';
const participants_ = generateRandomParticipants(memberName, "", hostName, true);
const messages_ = generateRandomMessages(participants_, memberName, "", hostName, true);
seedData = {
participants: participants_,
messages: messages_,
member: memberName,
host: hostName,
};
}
const useLocalUIMode = useSeed ? true : false;
return (
<MediasfuBroadcast useLocalUIMode={useLocalUIMode} useSeed={useSeed} seedData={useSeed ? seedData : {}} />
);
}
export default App;Example for Generic View
// Import specific Mediasfu view components
// Import the PreJoinPage component for the Pre-Join Page use case
import { MediasfuGeneric,
MediasfuBroadcast, MediasfuChat, MediasfuWebinar, MediasfuConference, PreJoinPage
} from 'mediasfu-reactjs'
// Import methods for generating random participants, messages, requests, and waiting room lists if using seed data
import { generateRandomParticipants, generateRandomMessages, generateRandomRequestList, generateRandomWaitingRoomList,
} from 'mediasfu-reactjs';
/**
* The main application component for MediaSFU.
*
* This component initializes the necessary credentials and configuration for the MediaSFU application,
* including options for using seed data for generating random participants and messages.
*
* @returns {JSX.Element} The rendered Mediasfu component with the specified props.
*
* @remarks
* - The `credentials` object contains the API username and API key for the Mediasfu account.
* - The `useSeed` flag determines whether to use seed data for generating random participants and messages.
* - The `eventType` variable indicates the type of UI display (e.g., 'broadcast', 'chat', 'webinar', 'conference').
* - If `useSeed` is true, random participants, messages, requests, and waiting lists are generated and assigned to `seedData`.
* - The `useLocalUIMode` flag is set to true if `useSeed` is true, preventing requests to the Mediasfu servers during UI development.
*
* @component

In the provided examples, users can set useLocalUIMode to true during UI development to prevent unwanted connections to MediaSFU servers. Additionally, they can generate seed data for rendering UI components locally by using random data generators provided by the module.
Local UI Development in MediaSFU ReactJS Module
During local UI development, the MediaSFU view is designed to be responsive to changes in screen size and orientation, adapting its layout accordingly. However, since UI changes are typically linked to communication with servers, developing the UI locally might result in less responsiveness due to the lack of real-time data updates. To mitigate this, users can force trigger changes in the UI by rotating the device, resizing the window, or simulating server responses by clicking on buttons within the page.
While developing locally, users may encounter occasional error warnings as the UI attempts to communicate with the server. These warnings can be safely ignored, as they are simply indicative of unsuccessful server requests in the local development environment.
If users experience responsiveness issues, whether during local development or in production, they can optimize their HTML configuration to ensure proper scaling and viewport settings. By adding the following meta tag to the HTML <head> section, users can specify viewport settings for optimal display:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no" />Intermediate Usage Guide

Here's a sample import and usage code for a Broadcast screen:
import React, { useState, useEffect, useRef } from 'react';
import { PrejoinPage, MainContainerComponent, MainAspectComponent, MainScreenComponent, MainGridComponent, FlexibleVideo, ControlButtonsComponentTouch, AudioGrid } from 'mediasfu-reactjs';
const BroadcastScreen = () => {
// State variables and constants
const [validated, setValidated] = useState<boolean>(useLocalUIMode); // Validated state as boolean
const confirmedToRecord = useRef<boolean>(false); // True if the user has confirmed to record as boolean
const meetingDisplayType = useRef<string>("media"); // Meeting display type as string
// Sample control button configurations
const controlBroadcastButtons = [/* define your control buttons here */];
const recordButton = [/* define your record button here */];
const recordButtons = [/* define your record buttons here */];
// Sample component sizes
const componentSizes = useRef<ComponentSizes>({
// Component sizes as ComponentSizes
mainHeight: 0,
otherHeight: 0,
mainWidth: 0,
otherWidth: 0,
}); // Component sizes
// Sample function to update component sizes
const updateComponentSizes = (sizes: ComponentSizes) => {
componentSizes.current = sizes;
};
// Sample function to update validation state
const updateValidated = (value: boolean) => {
setValidated(value);
};
// Sample credentials
const credentials = {
apiUserName: "yourAPIUserName",
apiKey: "yourAPIKey"
};
// Sample socket
const socket = useRef<Socket>({} as Socket); // Socket for the media server, type Socket
// Sample meeting progress time
const [meetingProgressTime, setMeetingProgressTime] =
useState<string>("00:00:00"); // Meeting progress time as string
// Sample record state
const [recordState, setRecordState] = useState<string>("green"); // Recording state with specific values
// Sample main grid and other grid elements
const mainGridStream = useRef<JSX.Element[]>([]); // Array of main grid streams as JSX.Element[]
const [otherGridStreams, setOtherGridStreams] = useState<JSX.Element[][]>([
[],
[],
]); // Other grid streams as 2D array of JSX.Element[]
// Sample audio only streams
const audioOnlyStreams = useRef<JSX.Element[]>([]); // Array of audio-only streams
// Sample main height and width
const [mainHeightWidth, setMainHeightWidth] = useState<number>(100); // Main height and width as number
// Render the PrejoinPage if not validated, otherwise render the main components
