video conference

A  video conference  (AKA video call ) is a way to call someone or multiple people; IndieWeb examples use a URL on a personal site for others to join and participate.

How to
The methods you can take to implement video conferencing on your site include:


 * Use Twilio Video or a similar service that manages the back-end for video and provides a high-level SDK to integrate video into your application. With this approach, you can build a custom front-end. However, hosted solutions may charge per call.
 * Use an open-source tool like MediaSoup to host your own front-end and back-end. You should look for Single Forwarding Unit (SFU) server technology as this scales better than peer-to-peer.

IndieWeb Examples
