Design a Video Calling Website UI Template using HTML and CSS

In this tutorial, we will learn the process of building a UI template for a Video Calling Website using HTML and CSS. Our goal is to create an attractive and user-friendly interface that makes video calls an enjoyable experience. The website will have a navigation bar with quick-access icons, a main content area that displays video feeds, and a sidebar that lists all participants in the call.

Preview

Approach:

  • First create a simple HTML layout with sections for navigation, main content, and a sidebar.
  • Add a logo and icons for navigation and sidebar sections using <img> tags.
  • Utilize CSS Flexbox to create a column layout for the navigation and sidebar.
  • Apply CSS Grid for the main content’s image container, arranging images in a grid.
  • Include icons for the “People Joined” section in the left sidebar, aligning them with text.
  • Implement hover effects and animations to improve user interaction.
  • Ensure responsiveness by using relative units and flex properties, allowing for adaptability across various screen sizes.
