> [!NOTE]
> You can access rooms using the [Azure Communication Services UI Library](https://azure.github.io/communication-ui-library/?path=/docs/concepts-rooms--docs). The UI Library enables developers to add a call client that is Rooms enabled into their application with only a couple lines of code.
## Implement the sample app
To implement the code needed to join participants to a rooms call, download from GitHub the [Room Call sample app](https://github.com/Azure-Samples/communication-services-javascript-quickstarts/tree/main/calling-rooms-quickstart).
## Web Prerequisites
- You need to have [Node.js 18](https://nodejs.org/dist/v18.18.0/). You can use the Microsoft Installer (MSI) to install it.
## Set up the project
### Create a new Node.js application
Open your terminal or command window create a new directory for your app, and navigate to it.
```console
mkdir calling-rooms-quickstart && cd calling-rooms-quickstart
```
Run `npm init -y` to create a **package.json** file with default settings.
```console
npm init -y
```
### Install the package
Use the `npm install` command to install the Azure Communication Services Calling SDK for JavaScript.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> This quickstart uses the Azure Communication Services Calling SDK version `1.14.1`. The ability to join a room call and display the roles of call participants is available in the Calling JavaScript SDK for web browsers [version 1.13.1](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@azure/communication-calling/v/1.13.1) and above.
```console
npm install @azure/communication-common --save
npm install @azure/communication-calling@1.14.1 --save
```
### Set up the app framework
This article uses webpack to bundle the application assets. Run the following command to install the `webpack`, `webpack-cli`, and `webpack-dev-server` npm packages and list them as development dependencies in your `package.json`:
```console
npm install copy-webpack-plugin@^11.0.0 webpack@^5.88.2 webpack-cli@^5.1.4 webpack-dev-server@^4.15.1 --save-dev
```
Here's the code:
Create an `index.html` file in the root directory of your project. Use this file to configure a basic layout that enables the user to join a rooms call.
```html
<!-- index.html-->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Azure Communication Services - Rooms Call Sample</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css"/>
</head>
<body>
<h4>Azure Communication Services - Rooms Call Sample</h4>

<button id="start-video-button" type="button" disabled="true">Start Video</button>
<button id="stop-video-button" type="button" disabled="true">Stop Video</button>
<br>
<br>
<div id="connectedLabel" style="color: #13bb13;" hidden>Room Call is connected!</div>
<br>
<div id="remoteVideosGallery" style="width: 40%;" hidden>Remote participants' video streams:</div>
<br>
<div id="localVideoContainer" style="width: 30%;" hidden>Local video stream:</div>
<!-- points to the bundle generated from client.js -->
<script src="./main.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
```
Create a file in the root directory of your project called `index.js` for the application logic. Add the following code to `index.js`:
```JavaScript
// Make sure to install the necessary dependencies
const { CallClient, VideoStreamRenderer, LocalVideoStream } = require('@azure/communication-calling');
const { AzureCommunicationTokenCredential } = require('@azure/communication-common');
const { AzureLogger, setLogLevel } = require("@azure/logger");
// Set the log level and output
setLogLevel('verbose');
AzureLogger.log = (...args) => {
console.log(...args);
};

let callAgent;
let deviceManager;
let call;
let localVideoStream;

## Add the webpack local server code
Create a file in the root directory of your project called **webpack.config.js** to contain the local server logic for this quickstart. Add the following code to **webpack.config.js**:
```javascript
const path = require('path');
const CopyPlugin = require("copy-webpack-plugin");
module.exports = {
mode: 'development',
entry: './index.js',
output: {
filename: 'main.js',
path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
},
devServer: {
static: {
directory: path.join(__dirname, './')
},
},
plugins: [
new CopyPlugin({
patterns: [
'./index.html'
]
}),
]
};
```
## Run the code
Use the `webpack-dev-server` to build and run your app. Run the following command to bundle the application host in a local webserver:
```console
`npx webpack serve --config webpack.config.js`
```
1. Open your browser navigate to http://localhost:8080/.
2. On the first input field, enter a valid user access token.
3. Click on the "Initialize Call Agent" and enter your Room ID.
4. Click **Join Room Call**.
You successfully joined a Rooms call!
## Understanding joining a Room call
All the code that you added to the sample app enabled you to successfully start and join a room call. Here's more information about what more methods/handlers you can access for Rooms to extend functionality in your application.
To display the role of the local or remote call participants, subscribe to the handler as follows.
```js
// Subscribe to changes for your role in a call
const callRoleChangedHandler = () => {
console.log(call.role);
};
call.on('roleChanged', callRoleChangedHandler);
// Subscribe to role changes for remote participants
const subscribeToRemoteParticipant = (remoteParticipant) => {
remoteParticipant.on('roleChanged', () => {
console.log(remoteParticipant.role);
});
}
```
For more information about roles of room call participants, see [Rooms API for structured meetings](../../../concepts/rooms/room-concept.md#predefined-participant-roles-and-permissions).
