Chat With Emjoi from Emoticon

OpenVidu v2 How to implement?
1

Hi

I love OpenVidu, it makes video streaming very easy! However i have a question about the chat:

The chat seems very basic at this point, which is fine, but i was wondering if there is a way to implement emjoi into the chat? Emjoi is just a code in the text, i can use my mac touch bar to insert them, but for users who don’t have this i’d like to have emoticons convert to emoji

If open vidu doesn’t do this, i can do it with some JS to convert the characters, so is there an event to trap the send message and alter it before it’s displayed?

Hello @glenelkins,

Chat rendering is performed in the client slide. So you can update OpenVidu Call code to add emoticons or whatever you want.
