I place my key in the app, and the 'open conversations' box just spins.

What is this app supposed to do exactly?

Same thing happened to me on the sandbox. Connection is good, but app just spins.

I did some searching online and found an earlier iteration demo of this repo with instructions on how to get started with conversations:

Basically, you will need to do a little extra work via the twilio-cli to get working quickly if you don't already have endpoints for some of this stuff:

  1. create a conversation in the dashboard, if you haven't already. twilio api:conversations:v1:conversations:participants:create --conversation-sid <your sid>

  2. create a participant and add them to the conversation: twilio api:conversations:v1:conversations:participants:create --conversation-sid <your chat sid> --identity floofydoug

  3. use the same identity logging in as the identity provided to see the conversations they're a part of.

  4. now it looks like this:

Works for me as of May 2021. The key for me was making sure the access token I generated used an --identity that matched an existing participant in the specified chat service

I added a link in the README to the Conversations Quickstart - that has a walkthrough, including the steps above that involve adding a participant to the conversation. Thanks!
