Web migration example

Keep your existing user interface and simply swap out your Twilio Video code for Zoom Video SDK code. Migrate as fast as 1 week per platform.

// Twilio Video:
import * as TwilioVideo from "twilio-video";
var twilioVideo = TwilioVideo;
var twilioRoom;
twilioVideo.connect(TOKEN, { name: "yourName" }).then((room) => {
    twilioRoom = room;
});

// Zoom Video SDK:
import ZoomVideo from "@zoom/videosdk";
var zoomVideo = ZoomVideo.createClient();
var zoomSession;
zoomVideo.init("en-US", "Global", { patchJsMedia: true }).then(() => {
    zoomVideo
        .join("sessionName", TOKEN, "yourName", "sessionPasscode")
        .then(() => {
            zoomSession = zoomVideo.getMediaStream();
        });
});

// Twilio Video:
// Start:
twilioVideo
    .createLocalVideoTrack({
        height: { ideal: 720, min: 480, max: 1080 },
        width: { ideal: 1280, min: 640, max: 1920 },
        aspectRatio: 16 / 9,
    })
    .then((localVideoTrack) => {

            "twilio-self-view-div",

// Zoom Video SDK:

        .then((userVideo) => {

        });
});
// Stop:
zoomSession.stopVideo().then(() => {
    zoomSession.detachVideo(USER_ID);
});

// Twilio Video:

    participant.on("trackSubscribed", (track) => {
        document
            .getElementById("twilio-user-view-div")

    });

        var selfTwilioVideo = document.getElementById("twilio-user-view-div");
        selfTwilioVideo.querySelector("video").remove();
    });
});

// Zoom Video SDK:
zoomVideo.on("peer-video-state-change", (payload) => {
    if (payload.action === "Start") {
        zoomSession.attachVideo(payload.userId, 3).then((userVideo) => {
            document
                .querySelector("video-player-container")
                .appendChild(userVideo);
        });
    } else if (payload.action === "Stop") {
        zoomSession.detachVideo(payload.userId);
    }
});

// Twilio Video:
// Start Audio:
twilioVideo.createLocalAudioTrack().then((localAudioTrack) => {
    twilioRoom.localParticipant.publishTrack(localAudioTrack);
    const audioElement = localAudioTrack.attach();
    document.body.appendChild(audioElement);
});
// Unmute:
twilioRoom.localParticipant.audioTracks.forEach((publication) => {
    publication.track.enable();
});
// Mute:
twilioRoom.localParticipant.audioTracks.forEach((publication) => {
    publication.track.disable();
});

// Zoom Video SDK:
// Start Audio:
zoomSession.startAudio();
// Unmute:
zoomSession.unmuteAudio();
// Mute:
zoomSession.muteAudio();

// Twilio Video:
twilioVideo.disconnect();

// Zoom Video SDK:
zoomVideo.leave();
