Integration of the OpenVidu call

How to implement?
1

Hi all,

I am working on a software project built using HTML, JavaScript, and PHP, and I would like to integrate the OpenVidu video call in it.

I have seen that there is a PHP library for LiveKit, and I am wondering:

  • Is it possible to use the LiveKit PHP to manage and integrate calls in this kind of environment?
  • Can the PHP SDK handle call management, or is it only meant for server-side tasks like token generation?

Any help or guidance would be really appreciated.

Thanks,
Mattia

Hi Mattia

  • Is it possible to use the LiveKit PHP to manage and integrate calls in this kind of environment?

Yes, it is possible to use LiveKit PHP to manage and integrate calls in a web application environment. LiveKit provides a PHP SDK that allows you to interact with the LiveKit server, manage rooms, participants, and handle real-time communication features.

  • Can the PHP SDK handle call management, or is it only meant for server-side tasks like token generation?

Yes, the LiveKit PHP SDK can handle call management tasks such as creating rooms, managing participants, and generating tokens for authentication. While it is primarily designed for server-side operations, it can be used to facilitate real-time communication features in your application.

The OpenVidu Basic PHP tutorial is a good starting point for understanding how to use the LiveKit PHP SDK. It provides examples of how to request tokens and handle webhooks, which are essential for managing calls in a web application.
