CPaaS platforms enable developers to quickly and easily integrate audio and video by leveraging WebRTC APIs built in under the hood. However, this layer of abstraction can make it difficult to make optimizations. What can you do to improve call quality and user experience in your WebRTC CPaaS application? Hamza offers some ideas and tests them with one of the more popular CPaaS platforms, the Vonage Video API.
In a previous post, we showed you how to build a simple two party video chat using the Amazon Chime SDK, which we love as a scalable and flexible live video solution built on top of a globally distributed backend. Today, we will move forward on that code to build a multi-party video conference.
The Amazon Chime SDK gives you the power and capabilities of many lower level solutions, while still offering the abstraction and built-in media server infrastructure of the simpler CPaaS solutions. In this post, we’ll use the Amazon Chime SDK to make a 1-1 call by building a video chat using WebRTC with React and Node Fastify.
One of Daily’s biggest differentiating features is that they support different ways for developers to build. Let’s look at some reasons you might use the Daily Prebuilt component vs. when your project would require more customization through Daily’s core APIs and video SDKs instead.
