Audio and video call support #150

Closed SantoshSah closed 2 years ago

Subject of the issue

Do you have any future plan for audio/video chat features?

Is this a bug report of a feature request?

or-else commented 6 years ago

It's a lot of work, probably as much as the original project. It's not going to happen until the project gains some traction.

Simple implementation (like Zulip, Riot/Matrix) would be to auto-generate a link to a room at https://meet.jit.si/ or https://talky.io/ - Zulip just uses some md5 hash to attach to these urls and inserts the link into the chat.

Audio & video calls would be great, but should be implemented the right way. Don't like the external link / service way.

Maybe implement it later, but native. I don't have experience with that parts, but maybe there is a lib to do it (webrtc, peerjs?)

I found JsSIP. Maybe that could help with SIP calls? But I think it needs a SIP server...

Audio / Video Calls (also screen sharing, file transfer) could be a peer to peer (tinode client) feature? https://github.com/feross/simple-peer

gedw99 commented 3 years ago

ion has a golang backend and flutter / js front end for video conf and screen sharing.

can do multi party also using a SFU.

many many people are using it. it works.

Probably we can use something like https://github.com/KalbiProject/Kalbi

I will use this tool for internal communications, I'm a begginer using golang but i want to learn and apply to this project.

This is a server-size component which allows two or more clients to start a VoIP session. Adding VoIP to Tinode would also require a lot of client-side work.
