Quick start

Integrate the SDK

Add ZegoUIKitPrebuiltLiveStreaming as dependencies

• Open Terminal, navigate to your project's root directory, and run the following to create a podfile:

  pod init

• Edit the Podfile file to add the basic dependency:

  pod 'ZegoUIKitPrebuiltLiveStreaming'

• In Terminal, run the following to download all required dependencies and SDK with Cocoapods:

  pod install

Import ZegoUIKit & ZegoUIKitPrebuiltCall to your project

import ZegoUIKit
import ZegoUIKitPrebuiltLiveStreaming
// YourViewController.swift
class MainViewController: UIViewController {
    //Other code...
}

Using the ZegoUIKitPrebuiltLiveStreamingVC in your project

• Go to ZEGOCLOUD Admin Console, get the appID and appSign of your project.
• Specify the userID and userName for connecting the Live Streaming Kit service.
• liveID represents the live streaming you want to start or watch (only supports single-host live streaming for now).

// YourViewController.swift
class MainViewController: UIViewController {
    // Other code...
    var userID: String = <#UserID#>
    var userName: String = <#UserName#>
    var liveID: String = <#liveID#>

func startLive() {
        let config: ZegoUIKitPrebuiltLiveStreamingConfig = ZegoUIKitPrebuiltLiveStreamingConfig.host()
        let liveVC: ZegoUIKitPrebuiltLiveStreamingVC = ZegoUIKitPrebuiltLiveStreamingVC(yourAppID, appSign: yourAppSign, userID: self.userID, userName: self.userName, liveID: self.liveID, config: config)
        liveVC.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen
        self.present(liveVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

func watchLive() {
      let config: ZegoUIKitPrebuiltLiveStreamingConfig = ZegoUIKitPrebuiltLiveStreamingConfig.audience()
      let liveVC: ZegoUIKitPrebuiltLiveStreamingVC = ZegoUIKitPrebuiltLiveStreamingVC(yourAppID, appSign: yourAppSign, userID: self.userID, userName: self.userName, liveID: self.liveID, config: config)
      liveVC.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen
      self.present(liveVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

}

Then, you can start live streaming by presenting the liveVC.

Configure your project

Open the Info.plist, add the following code inside the dict part:

<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>We require camera access to connect to a live</string>
<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>We require microphone access to connect to a live</string>
