---title: Updating the Look of Video Conferencesdescription: Change the look of all of your Video Conferences with ease!slug: /guides/update-look-video-conferencesidebar_position: 15x-custom: ported_from_readme: true needs_review: true---Overview--------Were going to be changing the look of our Video Conferences using Video API endpoints. The Update a Video Conference endpoint allows us to update the look of any Video Conference by passing it [Hex color codes](https://htmlcolorcodes.com/color-picker/). Full code example: Updating the Look of Video Confereces

By default weve made it so that all of the colors are set to #FFFFFF (white), but [you can get color palette ideas from Color Hunt](https://colorhunt.co/).pythonclass LayoutColors: def __init__(self, primary, background, foreground, success, negative): self.primary = primary self.background = background self.foreground = foreground self.success = success self.negative = negative# TODO: Pick the colors to useLIGHT_COLORS = LayoutColors( #FFFFFF, # Primary - Used for CTA buttons and selected items. #FFFFFF, # Background - Main background color. #FFFFFF, # Foreground - Main foreground color. #FFFFFF, # Success - Used for success indications. #FFFFFF # Negative - Used for error indications. ) DARK_COLORS = LayoutColors( #FFFFFF, # Primary - Used for CTA buttons and selected items. #FFFFFF, # Background - Main background color. #FFFFFF, # Foreground - Main foreground color. #FFFFFF, # Success - Used for success indications. #FFFFFF # Negative - Used for error indications. )### Get all Video ConferencesHere we create the getData function which we then use to connect to the [List Video Conferences](pathname:///rest/list-video-conferences) endpoint so we can get the list of Video Conferences to update.python# Function to make the request to the url endpointdef getData(url): payload = {} headers = {} response = requests.request( GET, url, headers = headers, data = payload, auth = HTTPBasicAuth( projectID, authToken)).json() allData = response[data] while next in response[links].keys(): response = requests.get( response[links][next], auth=HTTPBasicAuth(projectID, authToken)).json() allData.extend(response[data]) return allDataVIDEO_CONFERENCES_URL = fhttps://{spaceURL}/api/video/conferences# Get all Video ConferencesvideoConferences = getData(VIDEO_CONFERENCES_URL)### Update each Video ConferenceIn the last step of our code we iterate through the list of video conferences, and update each one using the [Update a Video Conference](pathname:///rest/update-a-video-conference) endpoint, along with the color profiles we selected.python# Loop through video conferencesfor conference in videoConferences: payload = { light_primary: LIGHT_COLORS.primary, light_background: LIGHT_COLORS.background, light_foreground: LIGHT_COLORS.foreground, light_success: LIGHT_COLORS.success, light_negative: LIGHT_COLORS.negative, dark_primary: DARK_COLORS.primary, dark_background: DARK_COLORS.background, dark_foreground: DARK_COLORS.foreground, dark_success: DARK_COLORS.success, dark_negative: DARK_COLORS.negative } try: response = requests.put( fhttps://{spaceURL}/api/video/conferences/{conference[id]}, json = payload, auth = AUTH) print(f{conference[display_name]} room colors updated successfully.) except requests.exceptions.HTTPError as errh: print(An Http Error occurred: + repr(errh)) except requests.exceptions.ConnectionError as errc: print(An Error Connecting to the API occurred: + repr(errc)) except requests.exceptions.Timeout as errt: print(A Timeout Error occurred: + repr(errt)) except requests.exceptions.RequestException as err: print(An Unknown Error occurred + repr(err))Wrap up-------Our Video Conference endpoints make it really easy to update everything about them without having to do so manually from your SignalWire Space!Sign Up Here------------If you would like to test this example out, you can create a SignalWire account and space [here](https://m.signalwire.com/signups/new?s=1).Please feel free to reach out to us on our [Community Slack](https://signalwire.community/) or create a Support ticket if you need guidance!
