To analyze the code, let's take the version of file conference.js with hash ecbadc305436f8, which is available here and can be downloaded with corresponding build 2.0.212216.

Script for video conference uses roomApi designed for video chats, video conferences, webinars and other applications that involve presence of users in one virtual "room". To use RoomApi, the script flashphoner-room-api.js should be included

...


1. Initialization of the API.

Flashphoner.init() code

Code Block
languagejs
themeRDark
Flashphoner.init();

2. Connection to server.

RoomApi.connect() code

Code Block
languagejs
themeRDark
connection = RoomApi.connect({urlServer: url, username: username}).on(SESSION_STATUS.FAILED, function(session){
    ...
});

...

ConnectionStatusEvent ESTABLISHED code

Code Block
languagejs
themeRDark
connection = RoomApi.connect({urlServer: url, username: username}).on(SESSION_STATUS.FAILED, function(session){
    ...
}).on(SESSION_STATUS.DISCONNECTED, function(session) {
    ...
}).on(SESSION_STATUS.ESTABLISHED, function(session) {
    setStatus('#status', session.status());
    joinRoom();
});

4. Joining a conference.

connection.join() code

To join, name of the conference room is passed to the method. (The name can be specified as parameter in the URL of the client page; otherwise, random name will be generated.)

...

5. Receiving the event describing chat room state

RoomStatusEvent STATE code

On this event:

  • the length of the array of Participant objects returned by method Room.getParticipants() is determined to get the number of already connected participants
  • if the maximum allowed number of participants had already been reached, the user leaves the "room" (line 85)
  • otherwise, the user starts publishing video stream

...

Flashphoner.playFirstVideo() code

Code Block
languagejs
themeRDark
    if (Browser.isSafariWebRTC()) {
        var display = document.getElementById("localDisplay");
        Flashphoner.playFirstVideo(display, true, PRELOADER_URL).then(function() {
            publishLocalMedia(room);
        }).catch(function (error) {
            console.log("Can't atomatically publish local stream, use Publish button");
            for (var i = 0; i < display.children.length; i++) {
                if (display.children[i]) {
                    console.log("remove cached instance id " + display.children[i].id);
                    display.removeChild(display.children[i]);
                }
            }
            onMediaStopped(room);
        });
    }

<div> element 'localDisplay', in which video from camera will be displayed, is passed to the room.publish() method

...

                }

11. Playback of video stream.

participant.play() code<div> element, in which the video will be displayed, is passed to the participant.play() method.

The following parameters are passed to the method:

  • display - div element to display remote video;
  • options.unmutePlayOnStart - enables (by default) or disables (for example, in Android Edge) automatic audio unmuting while starting playback;
  • options.constraints.audio.deviceId - audio output device Id (the example uses default audio device)

A user must click a button if automatic audio playback is disabled
