import axios from 'axios;

export async function createRoom() {
  // Prepare desired room properties. Participants will start with
  // mics and cams off, and the room will expire in 24 hours.
  const req = {
    properties: {
      exp: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + 86400,
      start_audio_off: true,
      start_video_off: true,
    },
  };
}

It ended up taking less time for our team to fully integrate a functional solution with Daily than it took to parse through the documentation of some of the competitors.

With Daily's APIs you can

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@daily-co/daily-js"></script>
<script>
    callFrame = window.DailyIframe.createFrame();
    callFrame.join({ url: 'https://you.daily.co/hello' });
