Using twilio-conversations in node about twilio-video.js

[Cameron2920]

Hi @markandrus,

I stumbled across test/lib/mockwebrtc.js and I was able to get it working on node by using a node-webrtc client (I ended up using this one electron-webrtc). My goal is to record a call on a node server, but the problem is that none of the node webrtc clients support media streams, so I think I'm out of luck. I haven't completely given up yet, so I'll let you know if I make any progress.

Hi @Cameron2920,

Thanks for the report. In the future, I'd love to see this library used from Node, e.g. with some server-side WebRTC library. Until then, depending on what you are trying to do, you may wish to simply "fake" WebRTC support in your Node build. For an example of this, see test/lib/mockwebrtc.js. Note that the implementation there may not be suitable for all cases (e.g., the dummy SDP is passes around may cause a setRemoteDescription error if passed to remote Clients).

What would you like to achieve with Node?

@Cameron2920 have you tried https://github.com/vmolsa/webrtc-native? It supports MediaStreams I believe.

I hadn't seen that one yet, but I'm having problems building that library on my computer. I've decided that recording a call will be much easier with https://github.com/meetecho/janus-gateway and then letting twilio handle the peer to peer connections. I'll let you know if I ever do get the twilio video library working on node, but for now I am okay with closing this issue.

Thanks for the help, @markandrus!
