We're excited to announce and introduce you to custom CSS, which means you'll be able to make simple customizations to the CometChat call screen, such as changing

  • The background color of the call screen

  • The font and size of the participant's name in the call

  • The background color and shape of the provided default buttons

  • The size of the participant screen in tile and spotlight mode

Technically custom CSS, allows you to add or replace CSS of the existing call screen. It provides flexibility to change the user interface of your web application programmatically.

Let's get started to know more and see how the screens look on making changes using custom CSS.

In the Tile mode: you can move the participant's window anywhere in the call screen i.e aligned left, top, or to the bottom depending on your design or requirement.
