The Daily call client

Importing Daily gives you access to factory methods for creating DailyCall* clients. These call clients expose methods and events for managing the call lifecycle and participant state, and for customizing the look and feel of Daily Prebuilt.

*If you're not using TypeScript you may notice the underlying JS class is called DailyIframe for historical reasons.
