Daily Client SDK for Flutter

The Daily Client SDK for Flutter is a Dart package built on WebRTC. It handles media negotiation, network traversal, and participant management so you can focus on building your UI.

Getting started

Add the package to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  daily_flutter: ^latest

Then join a call and display participant video:

import 'package:daily_flutter/daily_flutter.dart';

final call = CallClient();

// Subscribe to events
call.events.listen((event) {
  if (event is ParticipantJoinedEvent) {
    // Add a VideoView for this participant
  } else if (event is ParticipantUpdatedEvent) {
    // Update tracks for this participant
  } else if (event is ParticipantLeftEvent) {
    // Remove the participant's VideoView
  }
});

// Join the call
await call.join(url: Uri.parse('https://your-domain.daily.co/room-name'));

// Toggle camera
await call.setInputsEnabled(camera: false);

// Leave when done
await call.leave();
call.dispose();

Render a participant’s video using VideoView:

VideoView(
  participant: participant,
  videoSource: VideoSource.camera,
)
