This is a quick and dirty addon to add a [webrtc][1] website as an app. As webrtc
|
2018-01-20 16:01:59 +00:00
|
|
|
advances so rapidly there is s a chance this addon will be obsolete. Webrtc is
|
2013-05-12 17:52:51 +00:00
|
|
|
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 addon please download one of the following
|
2013-05-12 17:54:47 +00:00
|
|
|
either Chrome/Chromium 25 or higher or Firefox 21 or higher. Then test it by
|
2013-06-01 09:25:38 +00:00
|
|
|
visiting a known webrtc instance (i.e. [live.mayfirst.org](https://live.mayfirst.org)) create a
|
2013-05-12 17:54:47 +00:00
|
|
|
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).
|
2013-05-12 17:52:51 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
2013-06-28 23:00:49 +00:00
|
|
|
open the app it will load the webrtc instance for you to use.
