How to let other users join OpenVidu-Call?

Hi,

I tried to run OpenVidu-Call application and follow the instruction in the link below:
https://docs.openvidu.io/en/2.14.0/demos/openvidu-call/

This instruction shows how to start a local openvidu server and run a video session on local host.
But how to let users on other hosts join the session? I can’t find it out in the link.

Thank you.

I don’t understand your question.

If you want to deploy OpenVidu Call in a production environment where other people can use it you can follow the how to build OpenVidu Call steps .

You can choose build a docker image or package an artifact

I mean how to let multiple people join the same chat room in OpenVidu-Call Demo.

Thank you.

Using the same room name. Or sharing the session URL with them

Hi,

Make sure you started the meeting session. Once started, copy the link (including the session ID) and send it over to the participants.

Once they open the link, they will join the session.

If you’re on localhost, you can test it by opening another browser window incognito mode. Or use ngrok to forward your http request to the https. And then copy the forwarding https link and send it over to the perticipants.

Hope this helps.

I think you used local development and want to share it to your network this https://docs.openvidu.io/en/2.14.0/troubleshooting/#share-your-app-through-your-network-to-test-with-multiple-devices
Thanks

Hi, I want to start build a server, start a openvidu-call meeting room on one host, and join the same room on other hosts. What should be modified?

  1. Start an openvidu server, set DOMAIN_OR_PUBLIC_IP to local IP.
  2. Build openvidu-call backend, set OPENVIDU_URL to the IP in step 1 in config.ts.
  3. Which part of code should be modified in OpenVidu-call frontend?

Are steps above right?
I’m new to this. Thank you for your kind help.

If you want to use OpenVidu Call as is, just deploy OpenVidu platform for production (OpenVidu Call is installed by default):

https://docs.openvidu.io/en/2.14.0/deployment/

If you want to develop a custom OpenVidu Call, just follow the instructions:
