<h2>Overview</h2>
The opentok-react library is a React implementation for integrating OpenTok.js into your applications, enabling real-time video communication features. Though it's worth noting that this repository is now deprecated, it remains a vital resource for those looking to implement video chat functionality in legacy projects or for educational purposes. Developers now are encouraged to use OpenTok Web Components as a modern alternative.
This library provides a range of components that allow for easy integration of video streaming features into React applications. With components like OTSession, OTPublisher, OTSubscriber, and more, users can set up a robust video communication system with minimal effort.
