Empirica Video Call

This package contains a React component for a video call in Empirica. It is designed to mirror the Empirica Chat API to the extent possible

This module uses the Jitsi open source video-conferencing platform.

Add to your Empirica project with:

meteor npm install --save empirica-videocall

Usage

import { Call } from "empirica-videocall";

//...

<Call player={player} roomName={"roomname goes here"} />;

Call expects 2 required props:

• playerName: a handle that will be displayed as the player's name to other participants
• roomName: an identifier that will create a unique room. The round id is a good choice.

Development

This is best developed using a docker container. With the docker daemon running, type docker-compose up.

This will launch storybook with the component, and changes to the component will be reflected in storybook. You can view the storybook at http://localhost:6006

To build the package, run yarn run build within the container.

On github commit, will build storybook and publish to chromatic.
