I’m building a one to many video call app, the Main publisher i.e one should be able to see streams of all connected(many). But they should not see each other.
For eg: A teacher has 10 students, so teachers should see faces of all 10 students but students should see only teacher’s cam.
Any leads on that?
You can use standard OpenVidu features to allow students to subscribe only to teacher.
But if there are n students there will be n+1 publishers, how do I identify which one is the teacher?
You can include additional info in any participant so any other participant can identify it.
When a user connect to a session, can specify additional information that can be retrieved later by other participants.
Take a look to this tutorial https://openvidu.io/docs/tutorials/openvidu-insecure-js/
Search the code:
session.connect(token, { clientData: myUserName })
