6 Months with WebRTC

Learnings: Browsers are a PITA navigator.getUserMedia = (navigator.getUserMedia ||

navigator.webkitGetUserMedia ||navigator.mozGetUserMedia || navigator.msGetUserMedia);

if(navigator.getUserMedia != null){ navigator.getUserMedia(options, function(stream) { if(typeof callback === 'function'){ callback(stream); } }, function(e) { console.log('No access to getUserMedia!', e); if(e.name === "PermissionDeniedError" && window.location.protocol !== "https:"){ alert("Must be behind a SSL..."); } if(typeof errorCallback === 'function'){ errorCallback(e); } });

}

Learnings: API’s are a big help function publishStream(uuid) {

pubnub.publish({ user: uuid, stream: myStream

});

pubnub.subscribe({ user: uuid, stream: function (data, event) { document.querySelector(‘#call-video’).src = URL.createObjectUrl(event.stream); }, disconnect: function (uuid, pc) { document.querySelector(“#call-video”).src = “”; $(document).trigger(“call:end”);

} }); };

agility_webrtc.showStream({ who : "presenter" , container : '#video'});

//If I'm the presenter, mute the video to prevent echos $(”#video").prop('muted', true);
