Create groupID

Before using the group call feature, you need to create a group first and initiate a group call in an existing group.
Method 1: Create a group by calling the Chat API, see Chat Group Management for details.
Method 2: Manually create a group through the console. See Console group management.
import TIM from "@tencentcloud/chat"; // npm i @tencentcloud/chat

const userIDList: string[] = ['user1', 'user2'];
async function createGroupID() {
const tim = TIM.create({ SDKAppID });
const memberList: any[] = userIDList.map(userId => ({ userID: userId }));
const res = await tim.createGroup({
type: TIM.TYPES.GRP_PUBLIC, // Must be a public group
name: 'WebSDK',
memberList
});
return res.data.group.groupID;
}

Group Call

Initiate a group call

Call the groupCall API to initiate a group call.
import { TUICallKitServer, TUICallType } from "@tencentcloud/call-uikit-react";
// Replace it with the call-uikit npm package you are currently using

try {
const params = {
userIDList: ['user1', 'user2'],
groupID: 'xxx',
type: TUICallType.VIDEO_CALL,
}
await TUICallKitServer.groupCall(params);
} catch (error: any) {
alert(`[TUICallKit] groupCall failed. Reason:${error}`);
}

Join a group call

Call the joinInGroupCall API to actively join an existing audio or video call in the group.
Note:Vue ≥ v3.1.2 supported
import { TUICallKitServer, TUICallType } from "@tencentcloud/call-uikit-react";
// Replace it with the call-uikit npm package you are currently using

try {
const params = {
type: TUICallType.VIDEO_CALL,
groupID: "xxx",
roomID: 0,
};
await TUICallKitServer.joinInGroupCall(params);
} catch (error: any) {
alert(`[TUICallKit] joinInGroupCall failed. Reason: ${error}`);
}
