let videoSettings = new CometChatCalls.MainVideoContainerSetting();

videoSettings.setMainVideoAspectRatio(CometChatCalls.CallSettings.ASPECT_RATIO_CONTAIN);
videoSettings.setFullScreenButtonParams(CometChatCalls.CallSettings.POSITION_BOTTOM_RIGHT, true);
videoSettings.setNameLabelParams(CometChatCalls.CallSettings.POSITION_BOTTOM_LEFT, true, "#333333");
videoSettings.setZoomButtonParams(CometChatCalls.CallSettings.POSITION_BOTTOM_RIGHT, true);
videoSettings.setUserListButtonParams(CometChatCalls.CallSettings.POSITION_BOTTOM_RIGHT, true);

import { CometChatCalls } from '@cometchat/calls-sdk-ionic';
import { MainVideoContainerSetting } from '@cometchat/calls-sdk-ionic/dist/models/CallSettings';

let videoSettings: MainVideoContainerSetting = new CometChatCalls.MainVideoContainerSetting();

videoSettings.setMainVideoAspectRatio(CometChatCalls.CallSettings.ASPECT_RATIO_CONTAIN);
videoSettings.setFullScreenButtonParams(CometChatCalls.CallSettings.POSITION_BOTTOM_RIGHT, true);

JavaScript
TypeScript

import { CometChatCalls } from '@cometchat/calls-sdk-ionic';

const callSettings = new CometChatCalls.CallSettingsBuilder()
  .setMainVideoContainerSetting(videoSettings)
  .build();

import { CometChatCalls } from '@cometchat/calls-sdk-ionic';
import { CallSettings } from '@cometchat/calls-sdk-ionic/dist/models/CallSettings';

const callSettings: CallSettings = new CometChatCalls.CallSettingsBuilder()
  .setMainVideoContainerSetting(videoSettings)
