Tutorials

These tutorials will step you through some basic demos to get you up to speed quickly using rtc.io. If you are looking for more advanced demos check our demos page or see the full list of modules for detailed documentation.

rtc.io Component Demos

rtc.io components are CommonJS modules which can be installed via npm and included as dependencies in your project using require(). We'll need to use Browserify to bundle our app with it's dependencies to run in the browser - see the Browserify site for usage instructions.

Capturing user video and audio with rtc-media

• Video mirror

Stream Processing

• Simple Video Manipulation

Extablishing video connections with rtc-quickconnect

Signalling Server

In the above examples, we have been using "//switchboard.rtc.io" as the signalling server. You can run your own signalling server using the rtc-switchboard module.
