You can build cool stuff with WebRTC in five minutes

  • We're testing remote 3D rendering over WebRTC. We render the 3D world in the cloud. Video and controls go over a WebRTC-connection. I wrote a simple nodejs websocket server to handle the signaling.

    It has been a quite wonderful experience despite the tech being somewhat experimental. Google Chrome offers excellent tools (chrome://webrtc-internals/ & chrome://webrtc-logs/).

    First I wrote the client and a mock server to work in the browser while a colleague started implementing webrtc to work in the renderer with the PeerConnectionpp-lib. Debuggin was awesome, when you had a working mock renderer in the browser.

    All the bugs I encountered we're my own and I found all the answers I needed in the dev API doc: http://dev.w3.org/2011/webrtc/editor/webrtc.html

  • I've got a cross origin error on talky.io

        XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://api.talky.io/socket.io/1/?t=1383140651742. Origin https://talky.io is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin. talky.io/:1

  • As is typical, the day someone posts simplewebrtc to hackernews is the day our demo app (talky.io) goes down!

    We're on it and should have it back up really soon.

    Sorry!

  • I'm afraid I could not get the demo work when I click create room nothing happens. But it's nice to see more libraries popping up around this technology.

  • https://appear.in/

    Is a service built using WebRTC and AngularJS. Just share an URL and people can videochat in the browser.

  • Unfortunately, without IE supporting webrtc, we can't go mainstream with this. Is there any plugin that can be used to make IE compatible?

  • couldn't get the room to work, but was able to find a web demo application for webrtc that is supposed to work for both firefox and chrome:
