Below snippet is copied from the quickstart sample. VideoView is responsible for rendering both local and remote video stream based on the isLocal attribute. Video is responsible for all the non-ui related methods and event callbacks.

const TwilioSDK = require('react-native-twilio-video');
const {
    Video,
    VideoView,
} = TwilioSDK;

// add listeners
Video.addEventListener('onRoomConnected', roomConnectedHandler);
Video.addEventListener('onParticipantConnected', participantConnectedHandler);

....
_onConnect() {
    //Get the access token from server
    const ACCESS_TOKEN = "YOUR_TWILIO_ACCESS_TOKEN";
    Video.startCall({roomName: this.state.roomName, accessToken: ACCESS_TOKEN});
}
...
  render() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <VideoView isLocal={false} style={styles.fullView}/>
        <View style={styles.bottomView}>
          <VideoView isLocal={true} style={styles.thumbnailView}/>
          <View style={styles.controlsView}>
            <View style={styles.bottomView}>
              {this.renderCallButton()}
              {this.renderCameraButton()}
            </View>
            <View style={styles.bottomView}>
              {this.renderVideoButton()}
              {this.renderAudioButton()}
            </View>
          </View>
