Taking WebRTC Video calling to the next step involves providing more functionality and custom behavior to our video conferencing applications. We’ve experimented with using the HTML canvas to add more customization to our video calls, and we’ve found that gives us a lot of power. In this post, we look at leveraging the Vonage Video API with the power of HTML canvas to apply virtual backgrounds to our video calls.
There are a number of strategies available for enabling WebRTC multi-party connections. The most simple choice is Mesh. But only if you don’t need to support more than 3-5 users on the same call and you don’t want a server in the middle. Our DevOps Engineer, Hector Zelaya, explains.
For our 55th episode of WebRTC Live, Arin Sime was joined by Manik Sachdeva from Around. Manik provided insight into the features, talent, technologies, and tech stacks that Around is employing to keep us connected in the new normal of collaborative meetings and hybrid work environments. They discussed noise and echo suppression, audio-only meetings, latency, scaling, UI, load balancing, the decision to use Electron, Chromium, and Mediasoup, and much more. Watch it here!
The demand for real-time video applications has never been greater. If you can’t wait for our expert team to free up or if you are simply low on funding, Arin Sime has compiled a list of resources to help you learn more about WebRTC development on your own.
