  LMChannel,
  initiateLMClient,
  LMChatTheme,
} from "@likeminds.community/likeminds-chat-reactjs";


// Custom Component for GroupChatChannelList
const CustomEmptyChatroom = () => {
  return (
    // Your Custom Code for rendering an empty chatroom. You can use an Image to make it look good
  );
};

• Step 2: Pass your Created Custom View to LMClientOverlayProvider

import {
  LMClientOverlayProvider,
  LMChannel,
  initiateLMClient,
  LMChatTheme,
} from "@likeminds.community/likeminds-chat-reactjs";

// Custom Component for EmptyChatroom
const CustomEmptyChatroom = () => {
  return (
    // Your Custom Code
  );
};

const App = () => {
  const lmChatClient = initiateLMClient();
  return (
    <LMClientOverlayProvider
      client={lmChatClient}
      userDetails={userDetails}
      lmChatTheme={LMChatTheme.COMMUNITY_CHAT}
      customComponents={{
        noChatroomSelected: <CustomEmptyChatroom />,
      }}
    >
