a simple, comprehensive, useful and well structured tutorial with nice and clean code, and an ASMR'ish voice along the way which was an amazing learning and experience for me! thanks to all in Web Dev Simplified, Cheers to all of you guys!
Just wanted to add a thank you and just to say yours is probably the first decent tutorial on coding I ever followed. Took my one evening to download and start to figure out the IDE but now I am going fine with it. It was a challenge but it's like your teaching us to climb and tree the others taught how to flutter about from leaf to leaf.
For new people watching this video: Testing this on mobile devices might not work as navigator.mediaDevices will be undefined on android phones even if you test it on localhost as it requires a "secure context" meaning you need to test it using a HTTPS context.
Hello Manu! Right. ran into this problem yesterday night. Tried to setup secure context for localhost, but chrome doesn't seem to bite! Could you send me in the right direction? thanks so much!
Information is such an incredibly important thing. And presenting it in a helpful way to those who do not yet have it deserves massive remuneration. Until then, thank you.
Brad is another great guy. I can't even compare him to the years I spent in college.How i wish i had known him before. I wouldn't have wasted my years in college.
Men you are great .I have already seen this code in youtube channel Cleaver programming . They were shit talking nonsense which never make sense why we are doing some particular code . I was so confused and started searching for webRTC , peer , socket and what not. But then I seen your video by God grace and everything is making sense now . Thank you very much sir❤️.
Thanks for demystifying WebRTC. I was searching for such kind of video since March 2020. No one taught the full execution of the project. Thanks a lot man.
This does not demistify webrtc. In fact there is no single line of webrtc implementation code. It just shows how to use peers js which does all the work for you
This is incredible. I would've killed for content like this 5 years ago, similar to the coronavirus search extension it really broke my fear of Chrome extensions and eventually I made a Chrome extension that checks if tweets are spam with ML api and hides tweets. Thanks Kyle
Can you please do a simple-peer version of this? Just an addition on the main differences would suffice. Webrtc is difficult to understand by nature and having more examples would make things so much cleaner. Many thanks 😊
You should do a episode 2 of this and address the client memory leak problems and other issues that may occur. Kudos to you for the presentation and simplification of the code. keep it up.
You're videos have helped me so much in my own programming and web development, and I want to say thank you. Projects like these take concepts and shows us real world applications for them,and by following along, we get to experiment and learn along with you.
I got an issue at the moment peerjs try to connect i fot ERR CONNECTION REFUSED, i am running the code as it is on github and only shows your current camera, no incomming video is shown.
Thanks Kyle!, but got a contribution to you this time. Makes me happy to be able to help. I can confirm, after a lot of work that Kyle's code has a major flaw in it, that will make it not work in many occasions. Here is the problem, when you call the nonsynchronous function that returns the user stream, the promise takes an unpredictable amount of time to return, what that does to you is to create a situation where the remote client can receive a call from the originator client without the remote have had set up the peer.on('call', ....{...}) listener function. Then the 'call' event gets lost and the behavior will be highly dependent on your environment, since it is dependant on how long it takes for the promise to return. I looked all over the internet and could find what was going on, so I ended up having to figure it out the difficult way. Now I changed the code so that you call the event handler first async peer.on('call" and then from inside the handler I call the navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia function. And then everything works. For those of you that want more details, please go to github, where I placed the complete code of a working example (today 7/19/2021) of an incomplete app that handles n rooms. No idea what the limit of n is for now. It is not production ready, but it allows you to open as many windows as you want between browser tabs. I based it on another tutorial, that didn't work either!, and explain everything in the readme.md file Good luck and happy programming! and thanks to Kyle for this video. I got me started!
I have no idea why, but, everything else I tried went well except the cameras in the call. I still like it though. You helped made me program a camera!
This is a really great tutorial to me to understand how to create a video chat application. However, I would like to point out that this video only goes through the basics which is that of setting up the connection between users and I do wish that you could make a tutorials (or a series hopefully) on creating a video conferencing application that includes functionalities such as creating a room, inviting users where users are actual users that people can create themselves rather than using peer.js to handle the users. Another thing I wish to see is if you could actually show how to go about implementing mute/unmute and enable/disable video functionality. Also, perhaps you could also show how to handle deployment too. Other than that, the video is quite a straightforward and useful video for the basics. I do appreciate this tutorial and I hope that you can take in my suggestion.
I made some progress on this by setting my domain name to point to my routers public IP address. Then I have my router port forwarding port 8080 traffic to my computer behind the router. I also changed the port in the serve.js file to use port 8080. Now it all works if I use local host but when I access using my domain name I get redirected to the roomId but no video shows. Does it need another protocol open for the video traffic like UDP?
you should mention that this will not work if the users are not in the same local network and there is a NAT firewall in one of the user's networks, which is very common these days in public WIFIs or university WIFIs etc...
A bug a coming. Let say user1 connected first and then user2 connected, if user1 disconnects then video element of user1 is not getting removed from user 2 (a blank non-streaming box will be there). How to fix that? Thanks for the video though, very helpful
Hey buddy you explain it the best way , would be nicer to know the security considerations and how this system will work in different network setups (like through NAT, firewall, proxies etc)

Good Video! A warning to Junior Devs. It only works well for peer to peer, If you do it with more users, your internet connection and those in the room will die.
@@mosesatanda3530 can you explain this a bit more. Seems that a lot of people struggle with the deployment of this app. Me myself tried Heroku but that didn’t work...
So, if this is a peer-to-peer model, it means that each user streams its video to each other user? And if there are 10 users, each user would stream to 10 other users? That woudln't kill user's internet? 🤔
True, that's why commercial applications still exists which takes care of optimization. Peer to peer works as long as it doesnt scale out of peers capacity, other alternative model exists to adress these issues.

Very good tutorial on WebRTC, thank you so much! I've been meaning to pour over material on this, and your video just saved a whole lot of time in that. Thank you!
@@hugomcm1 yeah but it's like saying that your are creating a web application with c++ because you are using javascript which runs on top of a browser which is made on c++... It's misleading. In this video you don't learn anything about webrtc
a question, wouldn't this overload the user's internet as all of the users are sending their stream to many other users resulting in a redundant upload, and with each new user the upload will suffer even more ?
@@ashishmaurya3113 alternatively they don't use p2p, instead they reroute all the streams into an aggregator, which returns one stream that contains all the other streams.
It's not working for me. When I join into the room from a different browser, that video is not being added to the previous browser window. I have tried coding myself and also cloning your git repo. Neither worked. Please help!
Hey, this was an amazing on-point tutorial. I had to remove the defer from for it to work here for me. It kept saying that io was not defined on my script.js file. I think "defer" introduces a race condition bug. If it happens to load before the script file, it works. Otherwise, an io not defined expetion is thrown.
You likely put your script.js above your socket.io script or did not defer your script.js. You typically want to defer any non-essential javascript as it will block loading the website if it runs right away causing it to load slower for the user.
Hey Kyle, thanks for the great video! But I've got a problem now: Since just talking to myself on localhost is pretty cool for a while, I wantd to deploy it to my server, so I can talk to myself via my sever, so the rent for it pays off. But I cant get it to run. peerJS detects the client connection and disconnection, but i cant get to see a video. Ports 3000 and 3001 are open. Both Firefox and Chrome dont work. Do you know what might cause this problem? Do I have to open any more ports?

@@amruthap6334 it should not be.. if you're using my code, describe the console output (F12) if you're only using my script.js that's why, it won't work with his server.js - too many additions, my server.js is in the same public folder, but you'll likely need to comment out the mysql blocks and modify the .ejs a little
To measure anything capacity, offcourse you have to test drive.keep connecting new clients to your server until you realize all clients are choked and the server too that would be the max user load capacity of your server.

i have tried and also downloaded your code but still the second user is not adding in the page. what should i do ???? PLease help. btw i m working on firefox. is that the problem ?????
Thanks, Kyle, a video on modification needed, to make it work on Heroku would be great
Love how he crams into a half-hour exercise what would be a whole course over on NetNinja's channel 😄
guy you are incredible. I came to know about your channel after the video you published on brads channel . great job.

Please, please send me that video URL!!! I am ready to PAY for that.
This should be renamed to: “How to be an instant millionaire in just one or three videos.

Can you do an electron.js tutorial or some machine learning topics using js?
You cracked it bro amazing 🌟
Best intro ever 😂
So fun😂😂😂😂😂ny I am so 😂😂😂😂😂 sorry I need to edit it sOrYy
thanks you so much this video really helped me with implementing peerjs in nextjs
Consider putting this in Docker, with a docker compose.
this apps works on just local machines. Can you guide to deploy and make it work on all machines?
you need to add STUN / TURN server
I made some progress on this by setting my domain name to point to my routers public IP address. Then I have my router port forwarding port 8080 traffic to my computer behind the router. I also changed the port in the serve.js file to use port 8080. Now it all works if I use local host but when I access using my domain name I get redirected to the roomId but no video shows. Does it need another protocol open for the video traffic like UDP?
@The Robotics Code Depot i also have the same quesion and you need an ssl certificate, otherwise it won't work and you can set up an ssl certificate verry easily trough cloudflare. and yea, you need to port forword the protocol UDP and TCP on the port that nodemon runs on, mine is 80👍👍
You're a great teacher. I really enjoyed it and learned stuff. Thanks for putting this together.
This is awesome, thank you so much. Do you have any tutorials of now how to get this published to a live server so we can make it public?

breaking changes to socket. Please do an update.
got any solutions?
Good Video! A warning to Junior Devs. It only works well for peer to peer, If you do it with more users, your internet connection and those in the room will die.
I'm having some trouble using it across devices, is there any chance of you doing a tutorial for deployment?
Add the port number to the IP address generated by your router
@@mosesatanda3530 can you explain this a bit more. Seems that a lot of people struggle with the deployment of this app. Me myself tried Heroku but that didn’t work...
Correct time, learning more about socket.io
Thanks
Hey, won't this app break down/ not work when trying to connect accross different networks, as you're deploying without using STUN or TURN servers?
Hey, do you know how to implement using STUN or TURN server?
Thanks Kyle, If you could assist in getting this hosted somewhere than it would be very helpful
It's insane how easy this is °__°
So, if this is a peer-to-peer model, it means that each user streams its video to each other user?
And if there are 10 users, each user would stream to 10 other users?
That woudln't kill user's internet? 🤔
True, that's why commercial applications still exists which takes care of optimization. Peer to peer works as long as it doesnt scale out of peers capacity, other alternative model exists to adress these issues.
That's true,zoom is not using peer to peer
That wouldn't kill the user's internet? P2P is mama that's why zoom is shit
Milan Drazic p2p isn’t very secure since you can pull ips from connected people, also if someone has shit internet it can fuck up thr whole room
@@Jorgeee You can never hide an IP, you can only ensure that others cannot access the data through your IP
P2P technology is like a branch. The more users branch off the source stream, the better the network and signal quality
my opinion I came to
Thank you so much, amazing..
Can you tell me how to schedule 1:1 future meetings and how to store the unique strings in the database or what is any other best way to schedule.
I am not able to see the 2nd grid when the second person connects. How to solve this? I have actually compared the source code line-by-line. Everything is the same, but still facing this issue.
Please anyone reply i am also facing the same issue
I think maybe u didnt connected the peer server
@@yashkhare7308 yes, even I get the different ids which are connected but not the 2 videos in the same page.

Yeah, same issue
Very good tutorial on WebRTC, thank you so much! I've been meaning to pour over material on this, and your video just saved a whole lot of time in that. Thank you!
This is not a tutorial on webrtc. Is a tutorial on peers js
@@PabloGnesutta Not the inner parts of webRTC but it uses the technology thru peer server
@@hugomcm1 yeah but it's like saying that your are creating a web application with c++ because you are using javascript which runs on top of a browser which is made on c++... It's misleading.
In this video you don't learn anything about webrtc
@@PabloGnesutta true
a question, wouldn't this overload the user's internet as all of the users are sending their stream to many other users resulting in a redundant upload, and with each new user the upload will suffer even more ?
Yes it will thats why big corporation have some kind of compression algorithm depending on the network ig.
@@ashishmaurya3113 alternatively they don't use p2p, instead they reroute all the streams into an aggregator, which returns one stream that contains all the other streams.
@@TheMasterAram I had no clue about that.
@@TheMasterAram Do you have any reference link for this? I interested to check it out.

It's not working for me. When I join into the room from a different browser, that video is not being added to the previous browser window. I have tried coding myself and also cloning your git repo. Neither worked. Please help!
You found the solution about that , i have the same problem
@@marouaneaitbolbarod4807 I also have the same issue
Amazing video. I am a bit confused though. Why we needed socketio? Couldn't peerjs library itself handle it all ? Or it was needed to manage rooms ?
Hey, this was an amazing on-point tutorial. I had to remove the defer from for it to work here for me. It kept saying that io was not defined on my script.js file. I think "defer" introduces a race condition bug. If it happens to load before the script file, it works. Otherwise, an io not defined expetion is thrown.
You likely put your script.js above your socket.io script or did not defer your script.js.
You typically want to defer any non-essential javascript as it will block loading the website if it runs right away causing it to load slower for the user.
Thanks mate
hi, you are a great teacher and explainer.
Hey Kyle, thanks for the great video!
But I've got a problem now: Since just talking to myself on localhost is pretty cool for a while, I wantd to deploy it to my server, so I can talk to myself via my sever, so the rent for it pays off.
But I cant get it to run. peerJS detects the client connection and disconnection, but i cant get to see a video. Ports 3000 and 3001 are open. Both Firefox and Chrome dont work.
Do you know what might cause this problem? Do I have to open any more ports?
Same here, cant see video
I left instructions in a reply to my main comment... rather long, in short it needs to be SSL
i have tried and also downloaded your code but still the second user is not adding in the page. what should i do ???? PLease help. btw i m working on firefox. is that the problem ?????
@@amruthap6334 it should not be.. if you're using my code, describe the console output (F12)
if you're only using my script.js that's why, it won't work with his server.js - too many additions, my server.js is in the same public folder, but you'll likely need to comment out the mysql blocks and modify the .ejs a little
@@amruthap6334 hey this is kiranmai we have the same problem too but we didn't understand what he said.if you got it please explain me.
Hi it’s an amazing and simple project I just wonder how to deploy this project
Showing how to deploy this would have been a better!! Thanks anyway.
You can easily deploy node.js on heroku.
What about non heroku servers ?
doesn't work on heroku
I really love when you do clone.
How can we host it? How many user can we expect to connect? Is it good for small business?
How can i host it on firebase that it will work on Realtime internet. Pls reply
can you also make a video on how to host it on vercel or netlify
This is an excellent video. But I would like to ask about how I can measure the max user load of the server so I can scale it up
To measure anything capacity, offcourse you have to test drive.keep connecting new clients to your server until you realize all clients are choked and the server too that would be the max user load capacity of your server.
Thanks for the video. Too bad I didn't see it when it came out. Great explanation!
this might be safer than zoom.
Thank you! I always love your video and appreciate your works!
