For a fully custom UI, please see createCallObject() or our blog post about React.
Room and meeting token properties
Many parts of the in-call experience can be customized by changing room or meeting token properties.
The following UI-related properties can be set at the room level, or using a meeting token. If a property is set for the room and also set in the meeting token, the meeting token setting takes precedence.
| Properties that can be set at both room and meeting token level |
|---|
enable_screenshare |
enable_recording |
start_with_video_off |
start_with_audio_off |
These UI-related properties can be specified at the room level:
| UI-related room properties |
|---|
enable_knocking |
enable_chat |
owner_only_broadcast |
And these UI-related properties can be configured using meeting tokens:
| UI-related meeting token properties |
|---|
is_owner |
start_cloud_recording_on_join |
close_tab_on_meeting_exit |
redirect_on_meeting_exit (this can also be set at the domain level) |
UI flows when a user leaves a meeting
Two properties control what happens when a user leaves a meeting from a standalone browser tab: close_tab_on_meeting_exit and redirect_on_meeting_exit.
If close_tab_on_meeting_exit is set to true, the browser tab closes when the user clicks the leave meeting button in the in-call menu bar.
If the redirect_on_meeting_exit property is set, the property value will be interpreted as a URL that the browser should redirect to when the user clicks the leave meeting button. A query string that includes the parameter recent_call=<domain>/<room> is appended to the URL.
By default, there is no leave meeting button in the iframe embedded UI; you control that meeting flow with your own UI code outside the iframe. Or you can add a leave call button to the embedded UI with our Javascript API.
API plan level, and Daily.co branding
There are currently two different "flavors" of UX defaults for Daily.co rooms: with Daily.co branding (Free and Launch plan), and without Daily.co branding (Scale plan).
This applies to all of the following cases:
- The room was created by an API call,
- The call UI is embedded in an iframe,
- The call was joined via a URL that includes a meeting token
- The call was joined via a URL that includes the
autojoinquery parameter. - The room's
autojoinproperty is set
To remove Daily.co branding, upgrade to the Scale plan. The free and Launch plans include Daily.co branding. (See API pricing plans.)
Here's a table listing the differences between the two different UX variants:
| Meeting element | Free and Launch Plan | Scale Plan |
|---|---|---|
enable_chat | default: false | default: false |
enable_screenshare | default: true | default: true |
enable_recording | not allowed | default: not enabled |
start_video_off | default: false | default: false |
start_audio_off | default: false | default: false |
enable_knocking | default: false | default: false |
owner_only_broadcast | default: false | default: false |
| top action/branding bar | Powered by Daily.co | none |
| browser warnings displayed | no | no |
| menu bar meeting invite info displayed | yes | yes |
| help menu/icon displayed | no | no |
| more-menu "shh" mode button | owner | owner |
| more-menu top branding | Daily.co branding | none |
