📦 Monorepo Consolidation

This repository represents the consolidated monorepo for the Vonage Video React Native SDK. We merged previously separate branding-specific repositories (including opentok-react-native) into this single codebase to eliminate duplication and streamline maintenance.

This monorepo uses brand-aware build configuration to produce both OpenTok and Vonage branded artifacts from shared sources. Bug fixes and features are now automatically available to both brands from a single source of truth.

Quick Start

Installation

npm install @vonage/client-sdk-video-react-native@<VERSION>
# or
yarn add @vonage/client-sdk-video-react-native@<VERSION>

Note: Replace <VERSION> with the target version to use.

For complete installation instructions including iOS and Android setup, see the official installation guide.

Basic Usage

<OTSession applicationId="your-application-id" sessionId="your-session-id" token="your-session-token">
  <OTPublisher style={{ width: 100, height: 100 }}/>
  <OTSubscriber style={{ width: 100, height: 100 }} />
</OTSession>

Important: React Native New Architecture Support

Starting from version 2.31.1, the Vonage Video React Native SDK is built with the React Native new architecture.

• ✅ Supported: React Native 0.76+ (new architecture)
• ❌ Not supported: Older React Native versions (legacy architecture)

Applications using older SDK versions will need to migrate to React Native's new architecture before upgrading. See the installation guide for required package registration steps.
