WHY TENCENT RTC
Choose an integration path before you write the chat screen.
A Chat SDK supplies client-side messaging capabilities. A UI Kit adds connected interface components. Server APIs and callbacks connect the service to your backend. Choose the combination based on your design requirements, framework, and operational needs.
Keep ownership of your interface
Core SDKs expose messaging and conversation events so your team can use its existing app layout, design system, and navigation.
Cover web, mobile, and game clients
Dedicated platform guides provide a concrete integration path for JavaScript, native mobile, cross-platform frameworks, Unity, and Unreal. Capabilities vary by edition and target.
Connect chat to business operations
Custom messages, REST APIs, and webhooks let messaging carry the account, order, booking, or community context that belongs to your application.

BEFORE YOU BUILD
Chat SDKs FAQs
Answers for product and engineering teams.
What is a chat SDK?
A chat software development kit packages client APIs for messaging, conversation state, and events. It connects your app to a messaging service and provides the building blocks for a custom chat experience.
What is the difference between a chat SDK and a chat API?
A client SDK runs inside your web, mobile, or game application. Server APIs expose backend operations over HTTP. Many applications use both, with authentication and business rules on the backend.
Which platforms does Tencent RTC Chat support?
Official guides cover JavaScript, iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter, Unity, and Unreal Engine. Exact features, supported targets, and minimum versions differ by platform and SDK edition.
Can I start without building every UI component?
Yes. Review the React, React Native, Flutter, iOS, and Android UI Kit pages for connected components and their separate requirements.
Can I test Chat for free?
The public Chat pricing page lists a free plan for up to 1,000 monthly active users. Review the current limits and plan terms, or open the official demo to explore the experience before integrating.
What is the shortest useful Chat SDK proof of concept?
Choose one platform, follow its install guide, and exchange a message between two accounts. Then add the single custom message or group flow your product depends on, with server-issued UserSig and documented failure handling.
How do I choose a chat SDK for web, mobile or games?
Match the official platform guide to your project, including native dependencies and lifecycle. Verify the required group and message behavior in a prototype before building the full interface.
How do I build a custom chat UI with a chat SDK?
Render your conversation list and message views from supported events and queries. Your app handles navigation, permissions and error states; use a UI Kit when connected components suit the design.
