profcab / video-conferencing-sample

Welcome to the GitHub repo for Open Visual Cloud video conferencing sample. This sample is built on top of Open WebRTC Toolkit media server and client SDK. To see the detailed information of Open WebRTC Toolkit, visit GitHub page https://github.com/open-webrtc-toolkit

The video conferencing sample implements a web meeting demo based on Open WebRTC Toolkit (OWT) media server and client SDK, which fully demonstrates OWT media processing features in both mix and forward modes. It also provides basic conferencing actions like screen sharing, instant messaging, and meeting control in web UI.
