Create video message from local file

Create a video message from local video and thumbnail image filesystem paths.

Creates a video message object using local filesystem paths for both the video file and cover thumbnail image.

Code example

import sdk, { CreateVideoMessageReq, CreateVideoMessageResp } from '@openimsdk/imsdk';

const request: CreateVideoMessageReq = {
  videoSourcePath: videoPath,
  videoType: 'video/mp4',
  duration: 18,
  snapshotSourcePath: coverPath,
};
const response: CreateVideoMessageResp = await sdk.createVideoMessage(request);
const message = response.message;

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`videoSourcePath`	`string`	Yes	Local filesystem path to the video file readable by the native SDK.
`videoType`	`string`	Yes	Video MIME type (such as `video/mp4`).
`duration`	`number`	Yes	Video playback duration in seconds.
`snapshotSourcePath`	`string`	Yes	Local filesystem path to the cover thumbnail image.

Return value

Returns a Promise resolving to CreateVideoMessageResp:

Property	Type	Description
`message`	`IMMessage`	Locally instantiated video message object.

Both video and cover snapshot paths must be readable by the native SDK. duration is in seconds, and videoType represents the true MIME type. Promise resolution creates the message object locally; calling Send message subsequently uploads both files through the SDK and transmits the message.
