Step 3: Type in the project name.
From the steps so far, you can see that creating real-time applications with ZEGOCLOUD is very straightforward and simple.

Back to our Live Streaming Kit integration. At this point, we’re required to pick a name for our project.

Note: a project name will only contain numbers, letters, and underlines (_).

You can choose whatever name you like. Provided that you follow the rules.

Step 4: UI customization kits.
If you scroll down after entering the project name, you’ll see a window where you can select UI customization options. Two options exist. There are “Prebuilt UIkit” and “Custom UIkit”. The custom UIkit gives you advanced customization options and low-level SDK customization. I will be going with Prebuilt UIKit since we’re just testing our Live Streaming Kit

You can proceed with the building process. Wait for the project to be completed.

Step 5: Choose a platform and download configuration files.
At this point, All that you’re required to do is to select the platform for our Live Streaming SDK. I will be using Web as my platform for this project. Congratulations! We’ve successfully created our first web live-streaming application with ZEGOCLOUD’s Live Streaming Kit.

Click on Get configuration and integration files to download project files.
