How does this example work?

In this example we extend the basic call demo with live streaming functionality.

We pass a custom tray object, a custom app object (wrapping the original in a new LiveStreamingProvider) and a custom modal. We also symlink both the public and pages/api folders from the basic call.

Single live streaming is only available to call owners, you must create a token when joining the call (for simplicity, we have disabled the abiltiy to join the call as a guest.)
