Daily prebuilt UI
Once you create a Daily room URL, you can embed it in any website or app.
This app embeds Daily's prebuilt UI.
When to use Daily's prebuilt UI
Daily’s prebuilt UI is a complete, full-featured video call component that you can embed in your app or website with just a few lines of code.
If speed is your top priority, this is the best choice: in minutes, you can prototype video calls within your application. You might also want to consider using the prebuilt UI if video chat is a feature that you need to add, but not necessarily one that you need to customize. If you do want to customize your video chat interface, you'll want to use the Daily call object.

Step-by-step guide: embed a Daily room URL
First, you’ll need a Daily room URL. Once you have one ready, replace https://your-team.daily.co/hello in the code snippet below with your own room URL.
<html>
<script crossorigin src="https://unpkg.com/@daily-co/daily-js"></script>
<body>
<script>
callFrame = window.DailyIframe.createFrame();
callFrame.join({ url: 'https://your-team.daily.co/hello' })
</script>
</body>
</html>
You can either paste that code into your own html file and then open it in your browser, or remix this Glitch project if you’d prefer to experiment in a playground.
You can pass configuration properties to DailyIframe.createFrame() to customize how the DailyIframe looks. Here’s an example that sets the prebuilt UI to fullscreen:
callFrame = window.DailyIframe.createFrame({
showLeaveButton: true,
iframeStyle: {
position: 'fixed',
width: '100%',
height: '100%'
}
});
