Open Video Call for Web

English | 中文

This tutorial shows you how to quickly create an open video call using the Agora sample app.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 6.9.1+
  • A web server that supports SSL (https)

Quick Start

This section shows you how to prepare, build, and run the sample application.

Obtain an App ID

To build and run the sample application, get an App ID:

  1. Create a developer account at agora.io. Once you finish the signup process, you will be redirected to the Dashboard.

  2. Navigate in the Dashboard tree on the left to Projects > Project List.

  3. Save the App ID from the Dashboard for later use.

  4. Generate a temp Access Token (valid for 24 hours) from dashboard page with given channel name, save for later use.

  5. Open the src/utils/Settings.js file. At the bottom of the file, replace <#YOUR APP ID#> with the App ID, and assign the token variable with the temp Access Token generated from dashboard.

    Note: Place the App ID/Token within single or double quotes.

    export const APP_ID = <#YOUR APP ID#>;

// Assign Token to null if you have not enabled app certificate
export const Token = "<#YOUR TEMP TOKEN HERE#>";

Install dependencies and integrate the Agora Video SDK

  1. Using the Terminal app, enter the install command in your project directory. This command installs libraries that are required to run the sample application. 
    # install dependencies
npm install
  2. Start the application by entering the run dev or run build command. The run dev command is for development purposes. 
    # serve with hot reload at localhost:8080
npm run dev
    The run build command is for production purposes and minifies code. 
    # build for production with minification
npm run build
  3. Your default browser should open and display the sample application. Note: In some cases, you may need to open a browser and enter http://localhost:8080 as the URL.
