Stream Video vs. Stream Chat

Based on my experience, here are some scenarios where Stream Chat is well suited: 1. If you want to build a real-time chat system then it is a very important use case. 2. Also good if you want to integrate it into gaming applications. However, there are also scenarios where Stream Chat may be less appropriate. For example: 1. stream chat use cases are mostly for real-time messaging use cases only but if you are someone who don't have such use case than you can skip stream chat
