Webrtc Plugin
|
|
|
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a quick and dirty addon to add a webrtc website as an app. As webrtc
|
|
|
|
|
advances so rapidly there is s a chance this plugin will be obsolete. Webrtc is
|
|
|
|
|
a new video and audio conferencing tool that is browser to browser
|
|
|
|
|
communication, no need to download specific software for just conferencing.
|
|
|
|
|
There are many different webrtc instances and because of the technology it is
|
|
|
|
|
really a person 2 person communication, using the server to only signal who
|
|
|
|
|
wants to talk to who, the actual transfer of the audio and video is directly
|
|
|
|
|
between the participants.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you would like to try this plugin please download one of the following
|
|
|
|
|
either Chrome/Chromium 25
|
|
|
|
|
or higher or Firefox 21 or higher. Then test it by visiting a known webrtc
|
|
|
|
|
instance (i.e. https://live.mayfirst.org) create a room, you should be asked to
|
|
|
|
|
share your camera and microphone (firefox will let you choose one or the other,
|
|
|
|
|
whereas chrome/chromium asks for both in one question).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the test is successful then proceed with copying the webrtc instance you
|
|
|
|
|
would like to use and place it in the config window and save. Now when you
|
|
|
|
|
opent he app it will load the webrtc instance for you to use.
