When to use Daily Prebuilt
If speed is your top priority, Daily Prebuilt is the best choice: in minutes, you can prototype video calls within your application. You might also want to consider using Daily Prebuilt if video chat is a feature that you need to add, but not necessarily one that you need to customize.

Step-by-step guide: embed Daily Prebuilt
First, you'll need a Daily room URL. Once you have one ready, replace DAILY_ROOM_URL in the code snippet below with your own room URL (e.g. https://your-team.daily.co/hello).
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.
Read more about different room settings in our guide to setting up calls.
