Create a live event
You can use the CreateLiveEventViewController class to build a view for creating a new live event. When creating a live event, you can set a cover image and a title for the event. To set a host, you can add up to ten users who can be a host. The showSelectedUserIdsForHostView method is called to display a list of users you added.
If you set the starting point of your chat service to be the live event list, you can seamlessly guide your users to the create live event view. Once a new live event is successfully created, the user will be brought back to the live event list view. By default, the user who created the live event becomes the host of the event.
