This application is an example of screen sharing over WebRTC connections using Twilio Video. It is forked from the Twilio Video Quickstart and is extended to include screen sharing in browsers that support it.
To run this application yourself you will need the following credentials:
- Account SID: Your primary Twilio account identifier - find this in the console here.
- API Key: Used to authenticate - generate one here.
- API Secret: Used to authenticate - just like the above, you'll get one here.
When you generate an API key pair at the URLs above, your API Secret will only
be shown once - make sure to save this in a secure location,
or possibly your ~/.bash_profile.
Create a configuration file for your application:
cp .env.template .envEdit .env with the configuration parameters we gathered from above.
Next, we need to install our dependencies from npm:
npm installNow we should be all set! Run the application:
npm startYour application should now be running at http://localhost:3000. Just enter the name of the room you want to join and click on 'Join Room'. Then, open another tab and join the same room. Now, you should see your own video in both the tabs!
