Support for React 18

[yaseenisolated]

Hi Team,

Is there a timeline for when twilio video will support React 18?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

I wonder if someone who worked on the upgrade to React 17 would be able to help or advise here 🙏

Edit: I got the following warning, so I wouldn't recommend this in a production environment.

Warning: ReactDOM.render is no longer supported in React 18. Use createRoot instead. Until you switch to the new API, your app will behave as if it's running React 17. Learn more: https://reactjs.org/link/switch-to-createroot

I was able to get the monitor working with React 18 by setting up peer dependency overrides in package.json as follows:

  "overrides": {
    "@twilio/video-room-monitor": {
      "react": "^18.0.0",
      "react-dom": "^18.0.0"
    }
  }

hi,

any update on React 18 support?

The whole of Twilio Video is in End of Life (EOL), so I doubt anyone will make this a priority.

For what it's worth, I've started migrating to LiveKit.io
