FAQ

Does Alaznah Calling work with Expo Go?

No. Use a development build or a React Native CLI app. See Installation.

Are voice and video separate packages?

No. One package: @alaznah/calling. Choose mediaType: 'audio' or mediaType: 'video'.

Do I need to self-host signaling?

No. Hosted Signaling is the default. Self-hosting is optional for advanced plans.

Can I build a fully custom UI?

Yes. Use hooks and client methods without the built-in screens. See Customization.

Why doesn’t tapping Accept answer the call?

The default incoming UI requires swipe up on the green control to reduce accidental answers. Decline remains a tap. Details: Incoming Calls.

What about group calls?

This release focuses on 1:1 calls. Group calling may arrive in a later release (examples/group-call is a scaffold only).

Which hook is the active call?

Use useCall(). There is no useActiveCall.

Where do I get API keys?

console.alaznah.com — keep secrets on your backend only.

How do I ring when the app is killed?

Configure push in the console, register the device token, and follow Push Notifications + Incoming Calls.
