Do you feel that the native webrtc api is complicated and prefer the simple-peer library, or do you feel that its straight forward enough that there is no need to use simple-peer? I would love to hear your thoughts!

@kantemirimamov9247 4 года назад

liked both versions but prefer the no library one :)

@CodingWithChaim 4 года назад

kantemir imamov I agree!

@farandaI 4 года назад

I started implementing simple-peer before this video. I think this native way is much more straight forward to fully understand the data flow. I should have started with this. Somehow im working in a project where I needed this. I really appreciate your tutorial! Thanks so much, you made my week much more easy! In the other hand, there is an issue with your previous tutorial, I was trying to implement the navigator MediaStream, but I got a flickering video, it took me 1 day to realise the incorrect use of setStream instead of the correct usage of setRef, to avoid the component re render. specially when the component is connected with redux and other props injection which produce the component re render often. linkedin.com/in/farandal

Thanks for this video and it helped me to create a video-chat application using react. But, can you please tell how to handle when a user disconnects(say by closing their browser tab/window). I tried using socket.on("disconnect") but I dont know why it is taking around 1min to fire the disconnect event. It would be great if you could please help me in this.

Hello thank you very much for your video. I would add illustration when you explain because sometimes its difficult to understand everything but that's only my opinion ^^

@robkom 3 года назад

Using the RTCSessionDescription constructor is deprecated (see developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/RTCSessionDescription/RTCSessionDescription ). You should instead call peerRef.current.setRemoteDescription(incoming.sdp). I realized this when reading through www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/webrtc/basics, which is quite old but I found it very useful.

@Davi-did 3 года назад

Chrome won't even allow camera access without an ssl connection. How do you and every other tutorial do this in localhost without a cert? I've followed your tutorial and several others and run into the same block. The first problem I run into is chrome not serving the video. Then I try to migrate it to a remote server with an ssl and still can't get it to work because your version of nodejs doesn't match mine.

@aprilmintacpineda2713 Год назад

Do you have one like this but using react-native-webrtc? I've been trying to follow these steps, but I'm doing it on react-native however, I keep being cornered in "No Video stream for react tag" error and the remote stream is displaying empty (black) screen.

@z4ls7 4 года назад

Hello Chaim, Thank you for this great video. really enjoyed and learned a lot. can I suggest you take this tutorial a bit further by implementing one to many (broadcasting service like instagram) ?

@dpr6516 4 года назад

1 to n would mean that the broadcaster has to share the stream n times. It becomes very expensive and isn't really viable in the peer to peer model of webrtc.

@weltmeister 4 года назад

the issue that I have with this approach is, when we have 10 people communicating at the same time with webRTC and one of them has a bad connection? if everything was connected together and the videos were combined together into one video so that it's easier to stream to users with bad internet don't you think that would scale better? or will there always be some latency with the second approach? and what if we combine both approaches to try and detected who are the users with the worst connection and use the second approach for them while the ones with a good connection use webRTC directly?

@CodingWithChaim 4 года назад

Yes absolutely simple peer to peer does not scale for anything past 4 to 6 ppl. For more users in a call at the same time a peer to server approach is preferred. The approach you describe is achieved using an MCU (Mixing Control Unit) this is a very expensive approach, so there is another called SFU (Selective Forwarding Unit) which is supposed to be cheaper.
