SpeakerStage

SpeakerStage renders one large hero VideoTile with the remaining participants in a horizontal scrollable filmstrip. The hero auto-follows the dominant speaker; clicking a thumbnail pins focus on that participant until the next dominant change.

Install

pnpm add @levelchat/react-components @levelchat/web

Requirements

• React — react and react-dom ^18 || ^19 (peer dependency).
• LevelChat Web SDK — @levelchat/web ^0.2.4 (peer dependency, wires hook-driven mode to the live Room).
• Provider — wrap the tree in <LevelChatProvider> from @levelchat/web-react so hook-driven mode can subscribe to room events. Prop-driven demos work without it.
• Styles — import the brand tokens + kit stylesheet exactly once at the app entry, before any kit component renders.

In Next.js (App Router), import the stylesheets at the top of your root layout:

// app/layout.tsx
import '@levelchat/brand/tokens.css';
import '@levelchat/react-components/styles.css';

In Vite (or any plain React app), import them at the top of your entry module:

// src/main.tsx
import '@levelchat/brand/tokens.css';
import '@levelchat/react-components/styles.css';

Basic usage

import { SpeakerStage } from '@levelchat/react-components';

export function WebinarStage() {
  return <SpeakerStage />;
}

Hero fallback

When the active-speaker id is stale (a brief gap between SDK dominant-speaker events) or absent, the hero falls back to the first participant in the roster. The surface never goes blank. Pass renderTile to fully customize the hero + filmstrip tiles.
