Getting it to work

1. Get a reference to the Web Component.
2. Generate a Session and Token.
3. Pass Session and Token into Web Component reference.

Note: This can vary with library / framework (see examples folder)

Make it "Responsive"

By default, the Vonage Video API adds each subscriber video as a div resulting in the video feeds being stacked vertically. To get the video feeds to align horizontally and move to the next row when there is not enough room, apply this CSS to the Web Component:

video-subscribers {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(360px, 1fr));
  place-items: center;
}

Note: The px in minmax should match the width you want for each subcriber video.
