[Weekly Update] Enhancing the video call UX

Tasha

Hi Developers!

🔎 This week, let's look at ways to enhance the UX within your video call UI!

🎨 First up is VCS! With Daily's Video Component System, you can build animated graphics, custom layouts, and event-driven components into live streams and recorded content.

• Try the VCS Simulator

📜 Next is a pre-call feature that your end users will thank you for implementing: A list of people who are on the call that users can view before joining.

• If you give it a try, let us know how it goes in this forum thread.

📌 Now for a feature that is useful while users are in the call: Sticky positioning!

• Sticky positioning keeps the video view on-screen while users scroll through other content in their browser. Click here to see an example and ask questions.

✌️ Finally, a guide on building a Leave button that makes ending video calls easy and intuitive.

• Tell us what you think a good Leave button should have in this forum thread.
