 ### React hooks
 
-The `useRoomConnection` hook provides a way to connect participants in a given room, subscribe to state updates, and perform actions on the connection, like toggling camera or microphone.
+#### useLocalMedia
+
+The `useLocalMedia` hook enables preview and selection of local devices (camera
+& microphone) prior to establishing a connection within a Whereby room. Use
+this hook to build rich pre-call experiences, allowing end users to confirm
+their device selection up-front. This hook works seamlessly with the
+`useRoomConnection` hook described below.
+
+```js
+import { useLocalMedia, VideoView } from "@whereby.com/browser-sdk";
+
+function MyPreCallUX() {
+    const localMedia = useLocalMedia({ audio: false, video: true });
+
+    const { currentCameraDeviceId, cameraDevices, localStream } = localMedia.state;
+    const { setCameraDevice, toggleCameraEnabled } = localMedia.actions;
+
+    return <div className="preCallView">
+        { /* Render any UI, making use of state */ }
+        { cameraDevices.map((d) => (
+            <p
+                key={d.deviceId}
+                onClick={() => {
+                    if (d.deviceId !== currentCameraDeviceId) {
+                        setCameraDevice(d.deviceId);
+                    }
+                }}
+            >

-### Web component for embedding
+#### Usage with Next.js
 
-Use the `<whereby-embed />` web component to make use of Whereby's pre-built responsive UI. Refer to our [documentation](https://docs.whereby.com/embedding-rooms/in-a-web-page/using-the-whereby-embed-element) to learn which attributes are supported.
+If you are integrating these React hooks with Next.js, you need to ensure your
+custom video experience components are rendered client side, as the underlying
+APIs we use are only available in the browser context. Simply add `"use
+client";` to the top of component, like in the following example:
 
+```js
+"use client";
 
-#### React
+import { VideoView, useLocalMedia } from "@whereby.com/browser-sdk";

-import "@whereby.com/browser-sdk"
+export default function MyNextVideoExperience() {
+  const { state, actions } = useLocalMedia({ audio: false, video: true });
