[nodebb-plugin-webrtc] WebRTC in Chats (Video Calling)
-
Well this has given me an idea for some form of mixshow on my new forum which STILL isn't finished. My procrastination knows no ends. :rage1:
Before I install and test this, could 1 person broadcast their own webcam and have other people tuned in to it without a webcam on display? I assume clicking no to "allow access to webcam" would allow this?

so I can finally cross it off my todo-list
ROFL
nice todo list. I wish mine was the same, you should look at my whiteboards staring at me right now.
re: the plugin, you are awesome. end of story.

@a_5mith it works like a "regular" call, except that for the time being you both must have the chat window open. Person A calls B, (call will only go through if you allow your webcam / microphone, but you can select "none" from the popup window), B will get 2 buttons on his screen, answer and decline. They work as you'd think they would. I currently have no plans to add broadcasting..
@psychobunny Thanks! That's just one item on my todo list though, it has quite a few more...

Sweet. I'll probably wait to install it until it is on npm. Seeing as how you were awake late you might notice a couple of fixes before you put it in there.
-
Tried it. Working great!
My compliments to the chef.

@tedr56 thanks! For the records, I also just put it on npm.
That will be useful.
I did some testing. At start, it's running fine. But after some time, the video from who I'm chatting with is lagging, or freezing eventualy.
The sounds remains good.
I don't if it's related to the nodebb logs :

Hi,
I asked @Schamper is this peer2peer video chat or server side (using bandwith) and he was not sure.
Do you any of you guys know ?

I was curious about this as well.
Edit: Did some looking. This uses EasyRTC.- Standardized methods of connecting to web cameras and microphones.
- Peer to peer connections. Improves latency and reduces bottlenecks on the servers.
- Standardized negotiation for streaming audio, video and data.

@Albus Tnx a lot man

If I remember, after clicking on
answer, I got this permissions popup.I let only the mic access, and I think nothing happened, the answer button woulndn't go away.
We can try when you'll have a moment. You still have your account on my nodebb.

I know you're swamped, so I just wanted to say that this is an awesome plugin. I've done some testing and it is truly remarkable. Similar to @tedr56, I experienced some hiccups after a while of use, possibly a connection issue though - but it is awesome for short chats.
You said it supports rooms with up to four people - how would users launch that?Also, just a musing - could users have an option to disable the Call feature, meaning they couldn't be contacted via the plugin. I'm going to be running a security forum, and several users might have concerns about the P2P factor of the calls - while others wouldn't mind.
I suppose what I'm getting at is for the paranoid, could it be possible to prevent someone calling them in an attempt to grab their IP?
